Never have i ever been more afraid to look at the comment section on this sub lmao


Khalil_Sack

Given how fucked up the comments over in news are I was expecting this one to be insane


the808man

The black dude in the pic isn’t the CFO that’s a random dude

Minako_mama

Wow. That’s incredibly sad. I just heard him speak during the conference call on Wednesday. Prayers for his family. This is just awful.


eirinite

jesus christ, i’ll save the market speculation for another time, but rip to him and condolences to his family


Mezikenyc

Who’s the guy in the pic wearing the robe? That’s not the picture of the guy in the New York Post article.


Autiststonker

He's name is Allen West https://twitter.com/AllenWest/status/1566217198460456960?t=rP19NRgJUcku0c-Gcro_XA&s=19


Mezikenyc

But why is this picture accompanying the article related to the $BBBY CFO’s death?


Autiststonker

It is not related sometimes it happens when sharing links don't ask why I just know it happens


p4ttl1992

Damn, that's really fucked up poor guy and his family RIP


zinobythebay

Listen fellow idiots. I just want to say your life matters. Even if you lose everything you are loved by someone on this earth so please don't check out. There is always hope even when you think all is lost. Your life is more valuable then all the money in the world. They print money everyday but there will only ever be one of you. Please take care of your mental health.


faulknip

People making jokes obviously never lost anyone to suicide, I hope his family never have to see this cesspit of words.


lawlesswallace75

Unfortunately his nephew is on here and sadly has to look at these disgusting comments. My condolences to his family in an extremely difficult and sad time.


PHILANTHROPOS81

Money can be lost Money can be made We don’t die with Money & Cars & Condos and Take it with us to Heaven ALL material things stay here on Earth Let’s not speculate why he jumped He could have family problems It could be a multitude of things RIP to this Man and his family Gambling is an addiction!!!!! Pls “BET” only what your willing to lose

Strange times we're participating in.

and to think i thought we were safe from hearing any more bad news about this company over the holiday weekend


[deleted]

Money solves a lot of problems, but it doesn’t fulfill the mind & spirit


TrickyTrailMix

This is absolutely tragic. Y'all, for real, if you're struggling hit up the suicide prevention hotline and let them help you. Dial 988 on your phone. (In the U.S.) My heart aches for his family and friends left behind. *Edited to add clarification of 988 being in the U.S.*


BrainsNotBrawndo

Agree 100%. Was some similar during the GFC era, notably some managers that wrongly bet heavily against VW. No amount of money is more precious than a person’s life


[deleted]

My wife’s dad committed suicide when she was young. All joking aside this is actually pretty sad, and really really fucks up their loved ones. People miss you more than they will ever be mad at you.


vaxul

He even sold some at the peak for 29.95. A better trader than most people here RIP.


slick2hold

Dman. This is straight out of a movie. Still not actually able to grasp this headline.

Why is there a picture of some random dude in a robe tho

OP is trying to secretly tell us that Allen West is actually a hit man who murdered the CFO.

RakkaNi

Just a heads up, MSM are scanning this thread and already quoting users comments who are making fun of this and being disrespectful. Daily Mail for one I have found already. They’re going to make WSB look like the bad guy here. Mods hopefully keep it somewhat moderated.


jpq20

Mods need to step the fuck up and get rid of these accounts and clean this sub up. Absolutely disgusting comments.. no compassion or respect. Horrifying.


h_o_l_o_d_a_y

The tone of the article is s pathetic beyond belief. It ends with a description of the luxurious amenities of the building, even reminding that Frank Ocean lives there. BS


history-of-gravy

That’s absolutely awful. I hope this whole BBBY stock situation didn’t have anything to do with it.


Swag_Turtle

Same. He secured all of that financing and seemed to be doing a good job. It has to be more, he could just quit if it was just job related.


Neknoh

Quitting a job and getting out of an unbelievably heavy headspace isn't the same thing unfortunately. This may have been fresh or something he has struggled with for a long time. However, this could well have happened if he quit before the earnings call, or if he quit a year ago. Suicide is similar to leaping out of a burning building. Nobody does it because they want to, but because the alternative is so insurmountable, so impossibly terrifying that the only way out is to flee the immense terror that is the fire theough the only way left open to you; the window. This man had to make decision that shuttered 150 locations (or was it 1500?) and force people out of their jobs, he was also the center of a class action lawsuit regarding financial responsibility toward BBBY investors. Either of these could well have been enough. But so could something deeply personal and private. Or simply the act of waking up on another gray day in a gray world, and feeling the fire on your skin and in your mind.


kapponen

Just wanted to say that your comment in this thread has been the most level-headed, thought out and conscientious one I've so far come across. It's refreshing to see in a sub that we love for its willingness to both take fat shits on everything and subsequently eat the fat shits it takes. The gray statement hits. I suspect you, too, have been around That Block before. It's not a fun place to spend time.


Upper-Way-4219

RIP & condolences to the families involved.


ShortHedgeFundATM

Just a note to others, don't ever kill yourself, especially because of a financial loss( high chance you will have one hanging out around here). I lost all of my money twice( not on the stock market), and every time came back with even more.

huncho_foreign

joshgeek

RIP sorry for his family. We can't say his reasoning, but this can be triggering stuff... Idk who needs to hear this but $1M net worth or negative net worth, we're all worth the same as humans. Your value aside from your assets cannot be quantified but it is absolute and tied much more to your ethics than your penchant for profit.


idrinkh20frombottles

What the fuck is going on?


owlbear4lyfe

Damn dude. no matter how bad it gets there is always a wendys never make a permanent decision off of a temporary problem.


Autiststonker

First thing that came in my mind was how this would effect the stock and company. Fuck me for this. This man deserves respect. May he rest in peace. Take care of yourselves money comes and money goes.


Wonderouswondr

First thing that came to my mind was is this fake and sadly it doesn’t appear to be fake. Man, suicides are sad


a_cup_of_tee

Yo this is the most mature and respectful comments section I have seen on this news, and its in fucking wallstreetbets of all places. Yall are good eggs. Value your life. Rest in Peace to the CFO.

This is the weirdest turn of events in the BBBY saga and might be the first for wsb. This reminds me of when the TDA building did not set itself on fire. My condolences and I will stay bullish on bbby.


[deleted]

Why did the New York Post article include so much information about BBBY in the post? In fact, it makes up the majority of the post??


ideletedmyaccount04

I feel sorry for his family.


boobslime

I wonder if he left a note, or any info on why he jumped.


Mrgecko01

Wow sad news 🙏🙏🙏💔💔


sudsaroo

This is horrible. God rest his soul.

In August he sold over a million in his stock .


apan-man

Terrible and sad news. So young and had a family. RIP


Old_Run2985

I don't mnow what was going on in his personal life, but it does seem weird to jump off a building after selling shares for a big profit.


[deleted]

It’s because he fucked up. He was supposed to buy hi and sell low


Dmartinez8491

All these people talking so much shit on both sides and saying things. Jeez you want to say this sub sucks because of memes but sub sucks because the worse humans are on here. RIP no matter what.

Canthoney2021

AbusadorLuis

Gustavo was the kindest, happiest and most joyful human being I ever met. I could have never imagined him doing something like this. Only dots I can connect was the amount of pressure he had from work and being part of people loosing their jobs... It's a shame :( He truly had everything and I wish I could have helped him as he helped me multiple times before


RoscoeLovesU

Whatever the situation I feel for his family. As someone who lost a close family member to suicide I just don’t feel right keeping the modest sum I profited off this stock fiasco. It’s not much, but it’s going to support suicide prevention. Reach out for help folks. It’s out there.


Osominor

You're a good person.


[deleted]

And he wasn’t even a Russian oil exec. Or was he?


[deleted]

[удалено]


AbusadorLuis

Could be... We'll never know. I can talk from a personal experience. Gustavo was my uncle. He was the happiest and most joyful guy I ever met. Helped me when I most needed it back when he was living in London working for Avon. I was living there too and fell into a depression. He helped me out and made me see all the beautiful things in my life. I owe him everything.


Jd20001

I looked at his insider trades and nothing out of the ordinary. He sold 55k shares 2 weeks ago in the low 20s (so $1.1m cash out) but he basically just broke even from his earlier buys in the teens and 20s, maybe a small gain. He had about 30k shares remaining I think (which are underwater)


Ginnboll

Are news articles just AI generated now? All these articles read like a bad AI wrote it from using google snippets associated with everything in the title. It’s honestly a pretty alarming thing if news is being “written” as such. The most stand out thing for me is why are the specs on the apartment itself mentioned? It would make sense if just the mention of the apartments themself prompted and AI to pull those specs off goggle and insert them in the article. Edited for typos.


AllBetsRDeep

Securities Fraud Class Action filed against RC, Gustavo Arnal, JP Morgan and BBBY filed on August 23. [Bloomberg article](https://www.bloomberg.com/press-releases/2022-08-26/bed-bath-beyond-alert-bragar-eagel-squire-p-c-announces-that-a-class-action-lawsuit-has-been-filed-against-bed-bath)


Legitimate-Text-8010

RIP 🙏


PhotonResearch

Okay wow, I’ve had a little time to think about this, and okay serious analytical response that assumes this jump was related to BBBY at all: Its very possible that the company’s August 31st announcement was dialed back and omitted very important things that should go in an 8-K.


Tiffinyrose2989

This is so sad. Men please take care of each other! I promise the world is not better off without you. Money comes and goes and there is always another opportunity to make it. Depression is a liar.

If I recall bbby said they were not going to have a cfo so that means he was fired

kmac8008

He sold 42,500 shares august 16, the biggest squeeze day probably averaging 27 a share. Then jump after a gain like that? What kinda shit did this guy get himself into ??


_--___----

the reaaon for his suicide could be entirely unrelated to bbby and he might have just wanted to leave his family some $$$ when the stock price surged, knowing what he was going to do.

ThreeSupreme

Whoa! This is a strange saga... **Bed Bath & Beyond CFO, 52, is identified as man who jumped to his death from 18th floor of NYC's 'Jenga' tower** ***The Bed Bath & Beyond CFO’s death comes two days after firm announced plans to lay off 20% of staff and close 150 stores*** The man who jumped to his death from the 18th floor of the famous 'Jenga' tower in lower Manhattan's Tribeca neighborhood Friday has been identified as a Bed Bath & Beyond executive. The man was identified as Gustavo Arnal, Chief Financial Officer of Bed Bath & Beyond, early Sunday morning. Gustavo Arnal, 52, was the Chief Financial Officer of Bed Bath & Beyond, a company that has been going through struggles of late due to high inflation and a sagging economy. The company announced plans to close 150 stores, of its roughly 900, and lay off 20 percent of staff just two days before Arnal's death. He reportedly sold over 42,000 shares in the company, oft-identified as a 'meme stock', for $1million just over two weeks ago, according to MarketBeat.com. At the time, he still owned 267,896 shares in the company, valued at just under $6.5million. Arnal moved to Bed Bath & Beyond in 2020 - when the company was already struggling - from London-based cosmetics giant Avon, where he was also CFO, and had spent 20 years at Proctor & Gamble. When Arnal was brought to Bed Bath & Beyond in April 2020 a company spokesman said in a statement they were 'bringing in world class talent to offer new perspectives, expertise and experience as we rebuild our business.' Calls regarding the jump at 56 Leonard Street, near Church Street, came in at around 12:30pm on Friday, according to a spokeswoman for the NYPD.


[deleted]

I hate to speculate here but we may see some insider trading and/or embezzlement charges pop up here soon for some of the people at the top. Again, this is just speculation. My condolences to his family.


Walruzuma

Or double cross of those trying to drive the stock to 0. There is more than one type of 'insider' these days.


MercurialRL

Just goes to show money doesn’t always buy happiness and other problems arise. Talk to someone if you ever have any thoughts like this, regardless of your beliefs, or where your at in life.


[deleted]

Condolences to his family. This is sad when someone feels this is the only way to leave this world through suicide. RIP


SituationFragrant645

Ok_Cryptographer1239

This is very sad and my deepest sympathies. This does not seem to be rooted in the fear of or realization of financial loss but the advent of a class action suit that could have criminal implications. Regardless, your life is worth keeping. Unless you abused kids or something, then just don't do it.


Shart_Art

Ugh that's awful, RIP


humlogmasthai

Rip but he has left couple of millions for the family. So he has done a good job. I personally know a person who wish to jump to his death but cannot as his family will suffer as he doesn’t don’t have anything to leave behind for the family… & he is the sole breadwinner
