And you think this market is claiming its share of bodies! A man who lost a fortune in the Milan stock market claims he snatched the corpse of legendary Italian banker Enrico Cuccia and would only return it when the market boomed again. According to Reuters, it was a move of desperation. "You will think I am mad, but I'm not. I'm just exasperated," the unidentified Italian wrote in a letter to the ANSA news agency. The man added in his letter that if the market didn't show signs of recovery by the end of the year, he would begin "hitting people in the world of finance and financial journalists, who like Cuccia, have contributed to my ruin." Police said they're keeping their options open.
