Leave it to Ars to have a comment section that's actually got some decent stuff in there. I think this one directly applies to your comment. After all, what is fraud other than giving people bad advice on investing?

"People scam other consenting adults out of large quantities of money every day, using nothing but the power of speech. We criminalize that and call it 'Fraud'. Why would the same type of action, when it results in death, be treated any differently?"

Well during fraud someone is being misled with false statements, so the victims don't know they will lose money until it's too late. In this case on the other hand, the guy knew he would die when he took his own life.
