Another high level banker has been found dead.
Nicholas Valtz, a 39-year old managing director at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. in New York, was found dead Sunday afternoon in Napeague Harbor where he had reportedly gone earlier that day to kiteboard. Valtz’ body was found still tied to his kite.
Kiteboarding, also called kitesurfing, combines elements of windsurfing and paragliding which can garner speeds of up to 40 mph. His brother told Bloomberg that Valtz was still new to the sport.
“As a cross-asset sales executive, he helped manage orders for trading clients and pitch them products and ideas among different types of securities. His wife, Sashi Valtz, also works at Goldman Sachs as head of global third-party research sales, according to her LinkedIn profile,” Bloomberg reported [2].
While the majority of articles have made it clear the police are still investigating this incident and the cause of death is yet unknown, the Daily Mail [3] already ran with the headline, “Goldman Sachs managing director, 39, found dead after kiteboarding accident“.
The incident marks the 15th reported death of a senior banking and finance executive in recent months as just a few weeks ago [4], JP Morgan Executive Director Julian Knott shot his wife Alita to death with a shotgun before turning the weapon on himself.

Newsmax Money News reported yesterday [7]:
“We have no right to be surprised by a severe and imminent stock market crash,” explains Mark Spitznagel, a hedge fund manager who is notorious for his hugely profitable billion-dollar bet on the 2008 crisis. “In fact, we must absolutely expect it.”
