  • 2 years later perhaps all losses would be recovered.

    RIP Adolf

  • @BIASpotter

    Well it's a common German name, so yes, I would imagine not many would see the humor. Since there is none.

  • Was ist necessary? He was an old(!) man! He would have died in natural manner within few years - but sure!

  • In his time "Adolf" has been a widespread forename so this is nothing unsual.

  • You'd think he could have afforded a gun.

  • Yes

  • its not like he was broke after loosing many millions ! pride????

  • am i the only person thinking its funny

    thats hes german and his name is adolf?

  • The poor rich people!!!!

  • kolkron, Mercle lost his fortune by buying a chunk of stock VW.He lost nearly E200 million. His creditor about 30 bank had closed in on him. Mercle did not invest China stocks. Kolkron, don't make up story.
