His body was discovered at about 8 a.m. by a co-worker in his 11th-floor office, apparently shot with a .38-caliber handgun of which Levy was the registered owner. Today was to have been his last day, although he was to receive four months of severance pay, the Post reports, citing an unidentified source.

dont know if you’re old enough to remember 2009 but future job prospects were dim and I’m sure his 401k tanked like everyone else’s and it was probably small to begin with from his wife spending everything he earned

Yale grad, biglaw. Some people tie their self-worth to prestige. When prestige goes away, they dont know what else to do.

On May 8, 1993, Foster gave the commencement address at the University of Arkansas Law School, his alma mater, and said:

The reputation you develop for intellectual and ethical integrity will be your greatest asset or your worst enemy. You will be judged by your judgment. ... Treat every pleading, every brief, every contract, every letter, every daily task as if your career will be judged on it ... There is no victory, no advantage, no fee, no favor, which is worth even a blemish on your reputation for intellect and integrity. ... Dents to the reputation in the legal profession are irreparable.[17][7]

One faculty member listening to it recalled telling another that it was "the most depressing graduation speech I had ever heard, in both content and manner."[21] A friend of Foster's has said, "Look, it's just crazy, right? You get one dent and it can never be fixed? In Washington, you get them all the time. You get twenty dents and you go to the body shop. Vince couldn't see that, apparently."[7]

That’s nothing. This philosopher wrote a manifesto about the mind-rending torture of being a paraplegic and killed himself literally while in the process of finishing it: the last few sentences were typed as he was bleeding to death from a self-inflicted stab wound.
