'Perverted' Canary Wharf Poster Mocks JP Morgan Banker's Suicide Leap

A Nike-style poster mocking the suicide of JP Morgan banker Li Junjie has appeared on a bus shelter near London's Canary Wharf banking district.

The anonymous anti-banker poster shows the Hong Kong trader moments before he leapt to his death with the words 'Just Do It' - a slogan of sports manufacturer Nike - underneath the image.

Junjie leapt to his death from the roof of JP Morgan's Hong Kong office roof in February after police officers had failed to convince the 33-year-old to climb down.

Currency trader Junjie was reportedly a junior-level trader at the investment bank who played a role in various projects.

It is not known who assigned to poster to the board or when it appeared but it positioning near to Canary Wharf appears aimed at attracting the attention of finance professionals who work at the district.

It is thought at least eight finance professionals have taken their lives so far this year. They are:

Autumn Radtke, 28, the CEO Bitcoin exchange First Meta, was found dead on 28 February outside her Singapore apartment. She had jumped from a 25-story building, authorities said.
