There's an article in the WSJ too, but it's asking for a subscription. Not sure if that's just for me though, because I've looked at so many articles.
http://online.wsj.com/articles/hong...-juttings-trading-permits-1415096486?mod=e2tw
Rurik Jutting, who had been an employee at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, was licensed to trade securities by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority between Nov. 11, 2013 and Oct. 27 this year, according to HKMA filings.
On Oct. 28, Mr. Juttings other trading license, issued by Hong Kongs securities watchdog, the Securities & Futures Commission, was canceled. There is no suggestion the move to cancel the licences was linked to the alleged crimes.
The 29-year-old banker charged Monday with murdering two women in Hong Kong had been part of a Bank of America Corp. team that specialized in tax-minimization trades that are under scrutiny from prosecutors, regulators, tax collectors and the bank’s own compliance department.
Jutting, a U.K. native and a competitive poker player, worked in Bank of America Merrill Lynch’s Structured Equity Finance and Trading group, first in London and then in Hong Kong, according to these people and regulatory filings. Jutting resigned from the bank sometime before Oct. 27, which police say was the date of the first murder.
At a court hearing Monday, Jutting didn’t enter a plea and didn’t seek bail.
At Monday’s court hearing, he was represented by a temporary lawyer who complained that police denied Jutting access to a lawyer of his choice.
I like the way the Mail always gets photos and steps where others fear to tread, I have to say (except when it offends my personal opinions, of course )
So...this is the high flying son (Winchester, Oxbridge) with all the burdens on his shoulders...who couldn't quite cut it. Never quite fitted in? Tried the 'jolly good chap' stuff at Cambridge and that didn't work, so tried the 'give us ya money' yuppie banker instead. I'd like to know how many other 'personalities' he tried on, before settling on the one who chose to rent his fury and sadism on two innocent young women.
An empty personality, looking for a fit, and he chose to enter a world where excess is admirable and even required. 'Money does make you happy', posts the young Merrill Lynch banker about to be charged with the gruesome, sadistic murders of two young women. Both of whom he kept in his supposedly 'luxury' apartment.
I think he probably killed them in the rage of knowing he was buying his temporary happiness with them,and it would all disappear when he ran out of cash, as it sounds as if he was doing.
So yeah, point taken about money/happiness but not accepted. Money just bought horrific killings in this case. Those women wouldn't have been within killing distance if it hadn't been for that, in my opinion. The man looked like a living zombie towards the end.
*Note: Is $2,000 a month a luxury apartment rent in HK? I thought it was mega-crowded there and rents were sky high?

◦ Claims emerge that Jutting has reportedly confessed to killing prostitutes

And a second question to whomever may know: how prestigious are Cambridge and Oxford these days? I know they've long been the elite English schools but they also seem to take a rather large percentage of English university students.

Snipped and BBM. Oxbridge are filled with mostly elite and rich students, from private schools. If you look at the Guardian website, most of the journalists are from there, same with the British Govt. Your face has to fit. They take a token amount from state schools but do a search on "Oxbridge+interview questions". The pupils who go there are carefully handpicked from state schools ...
