He was an IT NOC manager, not a banker. I don't see this as being connected to any of the others in the banking industry from this story. He didn't have anything to do with the banking part of the business as far as I can tell.

He was the director of Global Operations Center in Whippany for JP Morgan. He was the person who maybe knew much better than everyone in the bank what is happening in the various sectors? or not

Did you read the article?

According to Julian Knott's LinkedIn profile, he worked for JPMorgan Chase for several years, most recently as the executive director of its Global Network Operations Center in Whippany. Prior to that, he held various IT positions with JPMorgan Chase and other companies.

So he is a JP Morgan after all sorry for the misunderstanding. I also edited the title of the topic, into JP Morgan (without the banker)

Reading the article and noticing the daughter's near "good riddance" attitude about losing both parents in their mid 40s seems suspicious. Who wants to bet she's involved?

what if this is all part of some hairbrained "going galt"-type scheme.

Only $600,000 for a house IN A LAKE? Crazy, I thought pressurizing it and sealing it would cost a lot more not to mention the cost of underwater construction.

$600,000 for a house in northern New Jersey is average. A typical McMansion goes for close to $2,000,000.

My mother has a house in Jefferson and it is a tiny, lake-side cottage. We lovingly refer to it as the Hobbit House.

Hah, yeah, I was wondering where I could get a house in a lake.

Here in my island average houses cost around 50.000 euros and if you wish to have a bigger one with pool, around 150-200.000 euros. More than that, you go for mansion, but from the 15th-17th century (3-5 floors, with dozen of bedrooms, hand made painting ceilings...etc) around 1-2m euros

You have to keep in mind that this is only a short commute from New York City and housing prices here are obscene.

There are also quite a few lakes in north Jersey so it is not uncommon for someone to have lake-front property.

Yes...and as I said, he was a NOC manager, not a banker. You think the datacenter manager of JPMorgan is also making the call on banking decisions? And a company such as JPMorgan has many more than one NOC so his view would be very limited even if he was digging in company data....not to mention the strict rules they have to follow with customer data and being audited all the time.

Don't see this as connected to the other, actual bankers, dying off myself.

We have blue sea here, not lakes We do have 2 HUUUGE swamps for birds that coming from africa though

Anyway we are offtopic.

I disagree. You mentioned the price of their home in the Original Post as perhaps you thought the price was indicative of a wealthy couple. I pointed out that it is a median price for the part of the state where they resided.

Try Norway. There's a place called Tautra (goo.gl...)

It's a farm on it's own island with a *small* bridge (goo.gl...)


It does seem strange - someone at that level wouldn't necessarily have access to sys-admin passwords of servers. That would be left to his staff. He would know more about strategic objectives; new departments, finished projects, redeployment of resources.

I deal with guys on his level every day of the week. They are not involved in the business at all. They are there to make sure the business is running with 5-9's up time...probably a Tier 4 datacenter he was running. Highly secure and almost non-existent down time. This guy most likely was the least in the know of any director level person at the company. He was probably one of the most audited and had plenty of stress to bear because of it. But his audits were for data security, not transaction or banking related.

I think you are correct. Most of the firms got backup centers in north Jersey after September 11th.
