[gadders]

Is there a subtext?

The guy in the article has been at GS 10 years, heads up a desk, and is only an MD. Bank promotions are normally announced early in the year, and bonuses vest about now.

I'm guessing he is pissed off he didn't get MD, and has waited for his bonus to hit his account before self-destructing.

Stage 2 in his plan will be to push his ex-colleagues under the bus by writing an article about how evil bankers are, as per City Boy (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geraint_Anderson)
