Suicide of Deloitte partner Daniel Pirron linked to Standard Chartered's Iran scandal
2012-08-20
Much higher amount of business with Iran that I'd realized.
The family of a senior partner at Deloitte has called for answers after he apparently committed suicide days after the auditing firm was linked to the Standard Chartered Iran dollar trades scandal. Daniel Pirron, a partner in Delloite's key General Counsel's office in New York, was found dead in a car park near his home in Trumbull, Connecticut.

On August 6, Deloitte was accused by the New York Department of Financial Services of aiding Standard Chartered in its "deception" over billions of dollars' worth of trades involving Iran.

Mr Pirron apparently took his own life seven days later.

Daniel Pirron was a detective for the Illinois Bureau of Investigation and the Securities and Exchange Commission in Chicago, before moving to work for Deloitte in 1990.

Deloitte denied that Mr Pirron had any involvement in the Standard Chartered matter.

"The loss of our partner, Dan Pirron, is a terrible tragedy and he will be missed dearly by all of his Deloitte friends," a spokesman said.

"Dan was a highly respected member of our office. However, Dan was not involved in any way on our work for Standard Chartered Bank."

Deloitte denies the DFS allegations that have led to Standard Chartered agreeing to pay a fine of $340m.

#2  Well, a car park in suburban Connecticut is a much nicer place for a suicide than a Chicago riverbank.

Then again, it ain't Fort Marcy Park.
