It looks a lot like a silencing hit.
As more and more of these financial advising firms come under scrutiny and pressure, they might have more than a few people that they didn't treat very well over the past few years. According to all of the reports, he was laid off 2 years ago by JPM, and he may have seen his share of shady-business while he worked with them.
May not have wanted him to ever have to testify or make statements against them at any point in the future.
Since he really does seem to be who everyone knew him to be - he may have just been privy to things simply because of his job, not by choice.
If that's the case, hopefully he never disclosed sensitive information to his wife.
