Another Dead Banker: Goldman Sachs Managing Director Found Dead

Nicholas Valtz, a managing director in cross-asset sales at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. in New York, was found dead yesterday by family members who went searching for him after he didn’t return from a kiteboarding outing, reports Bloomberg.

Valtz, 39, was found in Napeague Harbor near the eastern end of Long Island, according to the East Hampton, New York, police. He was a “novice kiteboarder” and was found floating in the water secured to his kite, police said in a statement released yesterday. Other kite gear was found in a grassy area of the harbor, police said.

His wife, Sashi Valtz, also works at Goldman Sachs as head of global third-party research sales, according to her LinkedIn profile.

Nicholas Andrew Valtz was born in September 1974 and received a bachelor’s degree from Harvard University in 1996, according to New York voting records and Harvard’s website. The school lists him as earning letters in fencing for three years.

Police are still investigating the death, according to the statement.

What is your take on the situation?

I think he probably just drowned in a kite boarding accident.

Gotta respect the ocean or face the wrath.

Chief Sarlo said it appears Mr. Valtz had been kiteboarding alone. He said he was not reported missing but was “overdue” from his excursion. The amount of time Mr. Valtz had been gone is still part of an open investigation

hmmm. Novice, and alone, yep, gotta go full occams razor on this one.

S&F for bringing this to our attention. I do find a lot of these banker deaths odd. Especially the nail gun guy.

No gods, no masters.

This is a victory for the people

I'm sure that of all the numbers of dead bankers and ceo's that are turning up dead, a few must be just "coincidence"..but ALL of them? not by a long shot..

but when you play the game at that level..maybe for them there was just no getting out of it, whether they wanted to or not..

that's my take..

4th Financial Services Executive Found Dead; "From Self-Inflicted Nail-Gun Wounds

That one is really hard to believe. I don't know anyone who is tough enough to shoot themselves twice with a nail gun. (Maybe dumb enough to do it once) but to take something like 6 or 8 nails to cause death and self inflected. ...very hard to swallow.

Bet you wished you hadn't mistyped your thread title
Or am I missing something?
