The string of deaths of bankers is crazy. Makes me wonder if it is the Chinese government working to pave the way for China to become the global banking power.
Unlikely. There have been deaths in a lot of different firms and of people of varying status within their firms. Not to mention that a more efficient cover-up would be paying them off; killing people draws attention to the problem.
I agree with the unlikely part, but maintain that it is a credible possibility.
Some people (of varying status) cannot be bought and some people are scum enough not to be trusted even after they have been bought. Banks have intertwined businesses across each other, the staff in the know can have secrets shared across different banks. Killing people draws attention to the death, and if there is alternative hypothesis available, an otherwise well kept secret won't get exposed until there are enough deaths to get someone to look more closely.
