From the AP: Mortgage Company Exec Jumps to Death.

An executive of a collapsed subprime mortgage lender jumped to his death from a bridge Friday, shortly after his wife's body was found inside their New Jersey home, authorities said.

The deaths of Walter Buczynski, 59, and his wife, Marci, 37 — the parents of two boys — were being investigated as a murder-suicide, according to the Burlington County Prosecutor's Office

About 20 minutes after her body was found, officers from the Delaware River and Bay Authority Police Department received reports that a man — later identified as Walter Buczynski — had parked his car on Delaware Memorial Bridge and jumped from the span.

And Forbes reports: Fieldstone Seeks to Pay $1M in Bonuses.

Collapsed subprime lender Fieldstone Mortgage Co. wants to pay a skeleton staff of workers, including its CEO, about $1.1 million in bonuses so the company can wind-down its lending operations and go out of business.

Among the employees receiving biggest bankruptcy bonuses: CEO Michael J. Sonnenfeld; Vice President Walter Buczynski and Chief Information Officer John Camp will each receive $99,999. Another 20 or so employees would divvy up the remaining bonus payments.

Guess $100K wasn't good enough for him. Oh well!
