70-Year-Old Hedge Fund Founder Shot Dead By His Son

Tyler Durden's picture




 

We thought yesterday's absurd story of former hedge fund manager James Crombie, founder of Paron Capital Management, who was arrested after found squatting in a million dollar Maryland house, would be as strange as it gets for hedge fund news this weekend. We were wrong: moments ago the WSJ reported that Thomas Gilbert, founder of the $200 million Wainscott hedge fund, whose success Gilbert said previously had come from investing in biotech funds, was found dead with a single bullet to the head in his Manhattan apartment this afternoon, allegedly shot by none other than his 30-year-old son.

From the WSJ:

Thomas Gilbert, 70 years old, founder of the Wainscott Capital Partners Fund, was fatally shot around 3:30 p.m. by a 30-year-old man believed to be his son, the official said. The alleged shooter’s mother called 911 shortly after she found Mr. Gilbert in the bedroom with a handgun nearby, the official said.

 

Mr. Gilbert was declared dead inside the Turtle Bay apartment, the official said.

 

Mr. Gilbert and his son—whose name police didn’t release—were believed to be discussing differences in their relationship before the shooting, but no motive had been determined Sunday evening, the official said. Police said Sunday evening no one had been arrested.

NY Daily News adds more:

The founder of a $200 million hedge fund was gunned down Sunday in his East Side apartment during a fight with his 30-year-old son, who remains on the loose. Thomas Gilbert Sr., the 70-year-old founder and president of Wainscott Capital Partners, was shot in the head during the violent encounter with his son, Thomas Gilbert Jr., cops said.

 

The 3:31 p.m. murder inside the senior Gilbert’s multimillion-dollar apartment at 20 Beekman Pl. near E. 50th St. sent cops fanning out across the tony Sutton Place neighborhood seeking the son, who fled the murder scene on foot, officials said. A porter at the luxury building said he had seen Gilbert Sr. earlier Sunday, but the financier gave no indication of trouble brewing. “I opened the door. He goes outside, he comes in, like always,” said the porter, who described Gilbert as “friendly,” “very nice” and a “gentleman.”

 

Police said Gilbert was dead at the scene from the single gunshot wound to the head.

 

Known as a Wall St. wizard, Gilbert founded his hedge fund in 2011 and helped build it into thriving firm managing $200 million in total assets.

Gilbert was a big biotech investor:

In an interview in November, Gilbert said his company’s success came from investing in biotech funds.

 

“The performance that we had in September and October really set us apart,” he told FinalAlternatives.com. “People wanted to see how we performed in a bear market and that worked out brilliantly for us. We’re not trying to beat all the biotech funds, we’re basically trying to avoid drawdowns.”

From Gilbert's website bio:

Thomas S. Gilbert founded Wainscott Capital Partners Fund, LP in 2011, and is the Managing Member of the General Partnership, Wainscott Capital Partners, LLC and is President of Wainscott Capital Management, LLC, the management company. A graduate of Princeton and Harvard Business School, Mr. Gilbert has extensive knowledge of the alternative investment space having spent 40 years on Wall Street with direct investing experience in the stock market, as well as private equity, real estate, and the fixed income market. Previously, Mr. Gilbert was a Co-Founder of Syzygy Therapeutics, a private equity biotech asset acquisition fund, which focused on identifying and investing in late-stage biotech drug candidates, with potential for billion dollar markets. Mr. Gilbert left Syzygy in April 2011 to form Wainscott Capital Partners. Mr.Gilbert founded and ran Knowledge Delivery Systems, Inc as Chairman and CEO from 2000 through May, 2009, Chairman through December, 2010, and is currently a Director of KDS. He is a former Managing Director of Venture Capital at Loeb Partners Corporation, where he was responsible for originating, structuring, and monitoring a broad spectrum of private equity portfolio investments. Mr. Gilbert is currently a Director of North Atlantic Holding Company, Inc. in addition to Knowledge Delivery Systems.

To be sure, the newsflow out of hedge fund land at the start of every year when the books are squared away tends to get crazy, but this is far and beyond the pale and even put to shame the story of Kim Karapetyan, 29-year old Moscow Hedge Fund wunderkind, who instead of facing his investors following massive losses decided to simply... disappear.

Gilbert is an epopeseehc name.

New York City should just change its name to Tel Aviv No. 2.

I wouldn't have truly believed (or fully believed) the following statement a decade ago, but do now: The bulk of the world's problems stem from the Jewish obsession (psychopathic obsession) with accumulating as much wealth as possible. It's a cultural sickness. If two Jews living next to each other in Westchester have 9 figure yachts, the one with the smaller or less expensive yacht will be neurotic and depressed over the fact that his neighbor's yacht is larger or more expensive - to the point of being willing to engage in criminal or totally immoral behavior so as to be able to buy a larger, more expensive one.

***edited to reflect the edit of End the Fed's edit***

"...the bulk of the world's problems is the jewish obsession with accumulating wealth..."

yes & no, the 'real' problem is our tolerance of this obsession -- and it has more to do with the freakish lust for control and power than money itself.  the hebrew's neurosis is not in any way aberrant -- it is the default status for most of this alien people.  no matter how similar they may look to westerners, they are NOT occidental in manners, values, customs, motivations or temperament.  every time a nation expels them, their happy populations experience an epochal revival.  it's fair to say that the renissance itself was a function of 'anti-semetism'; spain's empire was possible only because the marranos were booted; england would've been poland had not the anglos & saxons wised-up and pushed these coin-clippers off the island...and let's not forget germany's economic 'miracle'.  it isn't a 'miracle' when a body is purged of parasites and then suddenly revives -- it's fuckin science.

Money is one avenue, and an expedient one, to power, in a sick society.

Jews do not believe in heaven nor hell. They believe death is the final human event, that there is no soul, that the body decays, and there are no rewards/repercussions for good or evil deeds during one's lifetime.

History has been whitewashed & decontented to the point that 99%+ of people have no clue that the rise of the Nazis in post WWI Germany was a direct result of concentration of wealth in the hands of Jewish residents of Germany to such an extreme degree, and at a time when the writ large German population was suffering a massive economic Depression, that it was easy for the Nazis (and their professors) to paint Jews as greedy, immoral, unsympathetic & non-charitable parasites preying on the German People.

Similarly, history has been whitewashed & decontented to omit the fact that the Jewish experience in post WWI Germany was not the exception or historical aberration in terms of a build-up of resentment towards Jews for such behavior, but more the rule, as Jews suffered similar experiences in tone (if not on such a large scale) in Egypt, the Roman Empire, Russia, and many other parts of Europe & the Orient & Middle East.

Correlation doesn't always equal causation, but it sometimes does, and history may not exactly repeat precisely, but it rhymes in strong prose.

Truth In Sunshine,

i never bother with the 'sarc' tags so i hope i wasn't misunderstood. 1) i was being sarcastic viz. sara gilbert.  2) i wasn't being sarcastic about these people and their machinations.  empires typically benefit (somewhat) in terms of international trade when these people are permitted as merchants but forbidden entry into certain businesses (like, i dunno, money lending) and constitute no more than a quarter of a single percent of the nation's total.  in the ancient world and up to the pre-telegraph past, their cosmopolitian dispersal (urbanites spread all over the world's major trading hubs) facilitated trade and were of marginal benefit to those wise nations that kept them in check.

as far as this cycle repeating itself goes, i couldn't agree more.  if there is a common thread running throughout the fabric of every great work of fiction and/or historical commentary from every age and epoch, it is a mingling of detestation and semi-respect for the jew...but mostly contempt.  all the great minds of antiquity up to the present age have noted their relentless trouble-making and intransigent refusal to simply live at peace with their surrondings.  they are a vexing enigma for most all great minds; especially other jews.  

here's the wicked-funny part...right now, as we speak, the far-flung trouble-making jews who've been used to set up a phase in the big plan for the big prize are being quite literally set up...jews will go through long periods of "not a single drop" to win the confidence of their operative jews, and then will sacrifice them in a split-second to effect the greater design.  there are many concentric circles to jewish power, and each doesn't know the motives of the circle closest within.  and jews think goys are gullible.

and, to be fair, they're always warned...but they never seem to listen.

There's two sides to every story:

 

The son prob wanted a 20- maybe 30- grand for moar Hookers and Blow to bring in the New Year with other rich kids on the upper east side and for general Yute expenses so as to experience the normal joys of growing up as an uber-wealthy Brat. Plus, the Yutes patience was probably running thin when he found out the dad had just returned from his annual check up at down the street Cornell Medcial Center where the docs told him, "you're so healthy you can live ot be 110!"  That's anathema to an anxious, expectant beneficiary's ears ... is my guess.

 

Whereas the multimillion dad thought he could take it with him as many very very elderly people come to believe as their neurons perform less then peak efficiency and they think they can live up to their doctor's expectations to be 110 with all the modern new-fangled, life-saving equipment out there.

 

Just a wild guess based on my meager experience as a meek plebian who hopes to at least, 'inherit the earth" when I die.

i hear ya...and the only reason my children don't hate me is that i first taught them to hate the haters.  you've got to beat these bitches to the punch.  janus set to poisoning the minds of his boys before they could even walk (and before this coven of witches could poison them against me)...i'd have my eldest on the floor playing with legos, building elaborate minis of congress, the white house, the fed, wall-street.  hell, the first word my son learned was ka-boom!  that was the happy ending to all those lego-edifices.  

ahhh, the good ole days.  we'd sit and watch the various addresses to congress; my boys and i would make the rat-a-tat-tat tommy-gun sound when they stood to applaud.  i get a lil misty when i think about it.

yes, of course they were taught to hate you...any loving authority that stands between this hateful system and its victims must be demonized.  bolsheviks wouldn't have it any other way.

yeah, my sons can all shoot a rifle and know how to steady a handgun...but i know it won't be pointed at me.  and i pity the fools who stand on the wrong end my boys' sure-shots.

Great mental health seems to run in hedge fund families:

Bernie Madoff son - suicide

Jon Corzine son - suicide

ZeroHedge likes to point out tha that one can't rise to the top on Wall Street w/o being diagnosed as someone completely devoid of empathy.  What do we call them?  How is this per Wiki:

Narcissistic personality disorder

 

2. Impairments in interpersonal functioning (a or b):
a. Empathy: Impaired ability to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others; excessively attuned to reactions of others, but only if perceived as relevant to self; over- or underestimate of own effect on others.
b. Intimacy: Relationships largely superficial and exist to serve self-esteem regulation; mutuality constrained by little genuine interest in others' experiences and predominance of a need for personal gain

Far more likely it's antisocial personality disorder than narcissistic personality disorder. Narcissism is a symptom and a subclassification of APD, but APD itselfs goes way beyond narcissistic personality disorder.

Here's wiki on the diagnostic for it:

A) A pervasive pattern of disregard for and violation of the rights of others, occurring since age 15 years, as indicated by three or more of the following:

  1. failure to conform to social norms with respect to lawful behaviors as indicated by repeatedly performing acts that are grounds for arrest;
  2. deception, as indicated by repeatedly lying, use of aliases, or conning others for personal profit or pleasure;
  3. impulsivity or failure to plan ahead;
  4. irritability and aggressiveness, as indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults;
  5. reckless disregard for safety of self or others;
  6. consistent irresponsibility, as indicated by repeated failure to sustain consistent work behavior or honor financial obligations;
  7. lack of remorse, as indicated by being indifferent to or rationalizing having hurt, mistreated, or stolen from another.

Sounds extremely familiar to me.

don't post links to your crap website with false, deceptive statements, such as sandy hook victim dying in pakistan.

people like you are why conspiracy theorists are laughed at and given a bad name, perhaps you are what is known as controlled opposition.

the fact that some lady in pakistan held up a photo of an alleged sandy hook victim, does NOT mean that the boy died in pakistan.

if that's what you're going to suggest happened, provide some evidence.

otherwise, stfu.

 GRASSHOPPER AND THE ANT.

Same story but Two Different Versions ..... Two Different Morals

OLD VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

MORAL OF THE OLD STORY: Be responsible for yourself!

 NEW VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and
starving. CBS, NBC , PBS, CNN and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food…America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?

Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green..'

ACORN stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the group singing, We shall overcome. Then Rev. Jeremiah Wright has the group kneel down to pray for the grasshopper's sake.

President condemns the ant and blames previous opposition government for the grasshopper's plight. Politicians exclaim in interview that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share.
 Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity and Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.

The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government Green Czar and given to the grasshopper.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn't maintain it.

The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again.

The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize and ramshackle the once prosperous and peaceful neighborhood.

The world has collapsed.

More Banksters and Hedge Fund managers will die this year than at any other in the history of mankind. This purging of Bankster scum is a plus for civilization because it indicates that there is still justice in this World.

Two wrongs don't make things right, but sometimes two wrongs balance things out a bit. The murderer will only get three years in prison and then he will get out in time to murder more of his relatives. This provides churn and volatility to an otherwise stagnant economy. There is an upside to the downside in the long run of events.

Another victory for gun free zones

If only the criminals, midgets and his fellow dual citizens hadn't convinced him that they knew what was best for his safety and every freedom loving man in this world

That'll teach him not to listen to those no good stupid red neck gun loving goyim that want to be able to protect and defend themselves

Turtle Bay huh. At least he died in style

Now the question is who offered him? Did his son do it? And why? For advancement in the hierarchy?

Child sacrifice is very common but patricide not so much. May John Benet Ramsey and those victims like her find peace and freedom for their souls for eternity

Something to ponder:

If a robber shoots and kills a store clerk, he has done a disservice to society.

If a bankster/Streeter is gunned down, the shooter has benefited society.

I wonder what Aesop would have written about that?

The banksters need to repay us.

Could this be the modern version of an ancient "father's day card" I remember from Mad Magazine a few decades ago?

I think it went something like.....

"When I was just a little boy,

you filled me with ambition

Then you took me in the firm,

and gave me a position.

Secretly behind your back,

your stock I have acquired.

I now own 51%.  And guess what, Dad?

You're Fired !!!! "

The ethics of money don't seem to run from father to son.

The only question is who is/was less unethical : the dead father or the presumed killer son?

A case of (too) rich kids problem? A socialite doing whatever he has to do to keep up with pretenses or the self delusion of a certain class of folk that have come to learn and expect that the world is indeed truly theirs…. or else? Or just a fake who couldn’t figure out how to make it on his own ?
