Murderous Son, Who Killed His Hedge Fund Father Over $200 Allowance, Was A Princeton Economist Grad
The most bizarre story from the past weekend was the shocking murder of Tom Gilbert, 70, founder of the Wainscott biotech-focused hedge fund, who was shot dead in his Sutton Place apartment on Sunday Afternoon: shocking because the alleged shooter was none other than his Millennial, hence unemployed, 30-year-old son. What was certainly unclear at the time was what would be the motivation of a son to kill his successful and wealthy father, especially in such dramatic cold blood.
We now know not only the motivation, thanks to AP:
The son of a millionaire Manhattan hedge fund founder who allegedly gunned down his dad over his allowance has been arraigned on a second-degree murder charge, authorities said.
A law enforcement source told the New York Post that Thomas Gilbert Jr. had just been told by his father that he would only receive $400 for spending money per month from that point on in addition to $2,400 per month for rent. The younger Gilbert had previously received $600 per month.
"She [Mrs. Gilbert] found Senior on the floor with a bullet hole in the head," said Boyce. "She also found a gun resting on his chest with his left hand covering it."
... but also the alleged psychopath's background:
Gilbert Jr. attended Princeton, graduating in 2009 with a degree in economics. Authorities said he had no recent work history.
...
Gilbert Jr. has a pending criminal case in the town of Southampton, on eastern Long Island.
Gilbert Jr., who has an address in the hamlet of Wainscott, was arrested Sept. 18 on a charge of criminal contempt. Southampton town police say he violated an order of protection issued in Brooklyn in June. Police say he confronted a man named Peter N. Smith at Sagg Main Beach in Sagaponack on Sept. 1.
He has pleaded not guilty and has a Feb. 2 court date scheduled.
Still, remember: when dealing with murderous psychopathic Princeton economists, correlation is not always causation.

I think they'll let him off because he's a Princeton economist. Can't have anyone dragging down the good name of Princeton now, can we?
An economist without a high paying job? Whoda thunk?
Kill the host? Fiscal discipline?
Kill the host? Fiscal discipline?
Right, kill the host. Fucking economists!

An entitled economist?
Totally looks like: http://www.clashmusic.com/sites/default/files/styles/article_feature/pub...
Entitlement kills.
Father?
Yes son.
I want to kill you.
That's just fucking brilliant1 +1000
Like father, like son, both criminals.
Good-looking bonehead shoulda gone to Hollywood and played whilst laboring as some wealthy cougar's pool-boy.
Yet more proof of the violent impulses of white males. White people have a long history of violence, colonial attrocities and oppression of other races. It's up to every white male to recognize these tendencies and actively work to supress his violent and racist urges, whether they be concious or subconcious, physical or cultural. In addition, if they have any integrity, white males should work harder to make reperations for the countless sins of their ancestors.
Side effect of pharmaceutical anti-depressant usage.
Those deadly drugs need to be banned.
With a economics degree you can get a job at any Dollar General store, wtf?
Hey Million Dollar Bonus,
As a white male, do I get a pass on making reparations if I pay cash to the latinas? Just asking....
I guess sonny skipped the chapter on deflation.
Paul Krugman is an economics professor at Princeton. I think this is very very relevant.
Hey, maybe Krugman has a son, too.
"Dream a little dream for me..."
30yo with an allowance?
Hanging out with a Rothschild... hmmmm. She may have planted a subliminal message - a Stepford boyfriend.
Definitely GOLDman Material...
"I want my two dollars!!"
no one wants to say "drugs". but looks like it.
Or he could be framed... Someone wanted the dad dead?
This is like a Kim Kardasian story for economists. Who gives a shit?
I am an economist.
Who the hell would want an economist dead?
And whats with all the hot women running after a nutcase?
Too many re-runs of 12 Monkeys... ;-D

Will he still get his inheritance or does murdering his Dad void that? Ten years in Psych Hospital, then back to the spoiled brat life he once knew. Maybe he can get off on the "too rich" for prison defense?
BTW wasn't the Bernak a Princeton Economics Prof around the same time this kid was there?? Just sayin.....
Times are tough.
Or he could be framed... Someone wanted the dad dead?
Who knows? You cannot trust ANY reports from the media. So that remains a possibility.
Perhaps this is revenge from the man whose home was torched.
Frame the Mentally Ill bastard. "He is a Nut Case. He did it."
Princeton economist on an allowance from dad.. it fits.
$400/mo is kids allowance in posh areas. A fully grown man can eat twice a day and travel (minimally) with that amount.
Paul Krugman was probably a professor of his.
A Rothschild (with many miles on her vagometer based on photo) is yet again involved in the periphery of a sketchy crime scene.
Another Jewish family destroyed by their making the golden calf of fiat paper their god.
Dating a Rothschild? Did I read that right?
Sheesh. You money guys had enough trouble trying to avoid high windows, nail guns and skyscraper roofs. Now you have to make sure you keep your allowance payments up too.
This guy has had a few platefuls of coke over the years.
The corporate world is well-known to attract individuals who qualify as psychopathic. Their inability to experience empathy with other living beings causes them to thrive in such dog-eat-dog environments.
More to the point, Krugman IS a son. This actually explains a lot.
Just think of drumming up GDP for the likes of SCI.
smart move.... now he has no allowance, but at least he will live rent free in prision for a while.
fuck your cowhole! Buy Bitcoin!
Do you see this, MDB? You need to be around more. These guys need your guidance.
A short Play about Tom, Jr....
Take's place in spring, 2016
Lil' white tommy: "hey". What's your name?
Bubba Kneegrow: "bubba"
Lil' white tommy: "that my bunk"?
Bubba Kneegrow: "Fo today".
Bubba Kneegrow: "yo wants to be da husband or da wife in dis reashonship"?
Lil' white tommy: "husband, i think"
Bubba Kneegrow: "Heh, heh, heh"!
Bubba Kneegrow: "fine, fine. Now c'mon ovah heah and suck yo wife's C*%k"
Don't fool yourself girl, it's going right up your poopchute.

Did he come back on Sunday for the Gong Show?
Wait until he finds out how much of his inheritance he just lost to 'estate taxes'...Economist my ass! He'd a pulled the trigger a few years back!
Mentally disturbed Princeton Economics graduate? Ah, but I repeat myself.
I am not white I am Melanin deprived. We need to forcilby redistribute Melanin.
Well, I married my wife because I loved her, not because she is black. But one might say we are "on the job".
Its a pretty good bet that he was on some kinda psychiatric drug.
Of course, we'll never hear of it 'cause of 'privacy issues'.
Yeah but you'll sure hear about the weapon he used to commit the crime though. No privacy issues there. No siree.
that's because if people started finding out that pretty much everyone that loses it is on some sort of antidepressant, people might make some correlations
Couldn't agree more Pub. This guy was pretty blessed - family, money, genetics (to some degree or other), edumacation... Wouldn;t have needed to make too much of an effort to get his life together... Bankers, entitled classes, whatever... This shit is just sad, and when I read about the meds I had no doubt as to what triggered such psychopathic behavior. Stay safe wherever you are.
hot sauce is fabulous, I salute you, sir
I am staying out of the malls. what more can you ask?
stant: "I am staying out of the malls. what more can you ask?"
I stay out of malls anyway. Malls completely Suck.
MDB, now that is way over the fuckan top! Haha...
I second that.
Is that you Tokyo Rose.Oh, it's MDB.
/sarc?
And then some.
MDB, be honest. What comedy circuit to you write for?
Blah Blah Blah, kill yourself you worthless racist piece of rancid shit.
Reading this as a white person makes me want to beat you....
Dude what planet are you even from?
MillionDollarBonus_ "violent impulses of white males."
If you look at murder rates, there isn't one "white" country
in the top 20.
Its all because of white oppression? Without "white males" most of those countries
would be living in grass huts.
And that´s exactly why the rest of the world live in fear of us because they now what we can do if we turn that side to work. And you can forget your reparations.
ZeroHedge really does need an ignore user feature.

Ironically, "white" males who do not marry "white" females tend to be frowned upon by many segments of Western society. This I can personally attest to. What concerns me the most about it is not that "mixed" couples have to deal with hate, but rather, how many different directions this hatred seems to be coming from.
I suppose some people are a bit confused by living in the 21st century.
Whew!!!!! MDB, I was worried there for a moment that we had lost you.
The "Lucky sperm club" life style is over now, welcome to the real world Thomas Gilbert Jr.
Cougar?
Manhattan socialite Anna Rothschild, 49
I'd tap that...in the dark of course.
Good move. That surgical alteration stuff does not look too good "up close"
Princeton economist, malefactor, a piece of work.. just like Woodrow Wilson and Paul Krugman.
.
MDB, did you suffer a stroke during your hiatus? Your spelling and satirical abilities ain't what they used to be...
I don't think that is the real MDB. This one is not as clever.
He must of got hung up on his ZH distrss call.

we'll have to dig deep into some fringe blog site to discover what coctail of prescription psychiatric meds he was on
so is this a long or short play for prescription psychiatric meds makers or best off just arbitrage the lawyer tribe with a long position in Porsche?
I don't even have to click on the link. That song had to be drug induced.
Clearly a sad case of Affluenza. "Sorry sir for any inconvenience. Here is your inheritance. Have a super day!" "Thanks judge."

Yes Son.
I want to.....aaaaaaaahhhhhh....
Have no fear we will soon have another Yale Princeton Harvard Mafia member in the White House.
By comparison, at least, Yale is not that bad.
Bruce Wayne went to Yale, and he turned out OK, more or less.
Finally people here are understanding what the word "entitlement" really means. Not a fucking thing to do with hard-earned paid-in pensions of people who work for a living instead of just ripping off the next guy/gal.

There! Solved it!
Just show the judge your Princeton Diploma and on a side bar 'splain to him your Ivy League shit doesn't stink, and you'll be out in a jiffy.
But then again, your average Thugs killer is usually out on bail in 5-7 years with the revolving merikan jail doors so if they treat you as well, you'll be out.
Paul Krugman's required reading for economic's classes:
John Maynard Keynes - The Economic Consequences of Peace
Fyodor Dostoevsky's - The Brothers Karamazov
Henry,
Your post is too much for an average ZH reader/poster.
This guy could play Vanya.
The Brothers Karamazov in a nutshell: "You can't handle the truth!"
No worries...He did what he had to do...because he is...Helpless.
What else could he have done?
This is what will happen to him...Afterwards you may want to listen to the entire song.
http://youtu.be/X4fS2l9OAI8?t=3m16s
"Helpless" was written by Danny Elfman who has moved on from Oingo Boingo to write the soundtracks of many Screenplays and Popular Movies..Countless long nights while I stare at the wall
I ask myself over again
How did I end up in this little hell?
How did it ever begin?
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, helpless
Helpless to turn back the clock
That ticks on with its cruel shiny face
It laughs while it watches
My every disgrace
I was born a sap all the nurses laughed
When they saw me the first time
They giggled and they said
"This poor little monster'd be better off dead"
Oh oh oh, helpless
Helplessly trapped in a body
I'm sure should have never been mine
I bet that my real one is doing just fine
And I don't belong here, I don't belong here
I should be quite rich with a big shiny car
A house with twelve rooms, I deserve to go far
Oh oh oh, helpless
Helplessly falling in love
But does love really last through the night?
To love and to honor, to kick and to bite!
And I don't belong there, I don't belong here
It's all a mistake I was destined for greatness
A leader, a prophet, they're just too blind to notice
Where did this whole silly story begin?
It seems that my mind has gone blank
It seems that I messed up a chapter or two
Perhaps it is best if I'm frank!
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh helpless
Helplessly lost like that
Poor chap who came for an innocent dance
He left with his brain smeared all over his pants!
'Cause he didn't belong here, he didn't belong here
He never should've left that warm cage in the zoo
His face was so ugly, what else could I do?
Can you really blame me, I had to smash it
He left me no choice, he was just like the others
So I just had to kill him like my poor, dear, old mother
Oh oh oh, helpless
Helplessly fucked in the ass
By a legion of forty ex-cons
That's what it feels like
When you walk all over me
Don't belong here, I don't belong here
Your eyes burn right through me they fill me with fear
I could've been at home watching football, and drinking beer
I say, oh oh oh, helpless, so helpless
$2400 for rent and $200 a month for other expenses?
What a POS, I hope they use his hole to play basket ball in prison.
Still pretty sad story. Something very wrong in that family.
Something very, very wrong with all of these elitists. Hence the label.
Would it be wrong to encourage children in the Hamptons to play with matches?
Meet Jonathan Blankfein:
http://www.businessinsider.com/goldman-paid-lloyd-blankfeins-son-155000-...
Wrong? He dates women as old as his mother and evidently has murdered his father. What could possibly be wrong?
maybe Oedipus wrecked it for him
He cut the allowance from $600 to $400. Read the article, damn it.
This asshole needed to be on the street so that he could get the clue and grow the fuck up.
His father may have been successful as a Hedge Fund Manager but was an absolute failure as a parent. That cost him...his life.
THis adult-child was probably absolutely indulged from the day of his birth. It was much easier to give in and give him everything which he demanded.
When you love your children the best word to learn as a response to a child's demands is, "NO!!!" It takes work to discipline them. Yes I will agree. And that word, "No", does not mean that you neglect them.
The child must learn that only through effort and work can success be acheived. But that is the downside of being wealthy. You can give your children everything they demand as you have it to give.
If your millenial adult children are living in your basement then you are doing them NO FAVORS. Kick those leaches out.
A 25% Unemployment Rate means that Three out of Four people are WORKING.
Stop indulging them. Evict your adult children today. LOVE YOUR CHILDREN.
Otherwise you may end up dead and your child will have three hots and a cot along with a new boyfriend, Bubba.
Is that what you want for your child?
Almost $34,000 a year - and you can bet he wasn't paying any income tax on it - was likely still a deduction on his father's return.
More than a hell of a lot of people net in a year - but clearly 'inadequate' for the life to which he'd become accustomed.
He didn't really think he was going to inherit it all after killing Dad, did he?
Sadly you see waaaay too many spoiled and dysfunctional kids of affluent parents. Spoiled like hell, yet resentful beyond belief. They've had life handed to them on a silver platter - prep schools that tolerate behavior that would get them thrown out of other places (and often has), admission to top schools bought by Mommy and Daddy and even a guaranteed career - if they can manage to meet the barest minimums of performance and behavior. Most would've ended up in Juvie - or prison a long time ago on drug charges, date rape or whatever (apparently arson in this guy's case) but money keeps them free. When you're NOT rich, you have to face the consequences of your actions and learn - these kids keep getting away with all kinds of shit - until they can't. Then they're in shock.
those ultra private schools, I went to one for a single year way back when. all of the super duper rich ones were totally coked up and the faculty knew it'd be their job if they said anything about it.
Damn straight. I needs to be that way. We used to pass around the one hitter Hash Pipe in class...when we were not busy setting fire to the Paper Airplanes before we lofted them.
Sad to report that the school did burn down about four years after I left.
I will always have fond memories of The Boyden School in San Diego. Most students there were just expelled from La Jolla Country Day.
Saudi Prince Faisal attended when I attended.
I know it all too well.
Yes. And most people are against the inheritance tax. They want to create an entire zombie army of these cunts!
Really?
You just sound jealous. Most of these advantaged were brought up well. Most.
I had to work for it.
Socialism does not work. Parents can always write their progeny out of their will and have done so. I will not leave anything, intentionally, to the undeserving.
I have known hundreds if not a thousand of these trust fund assholes and not more than 10% are useful enough humans. The other 90% should've been smothered in the crib. I am not jealous of money. I have plenty and I give generously. I detest the portion of society that is born into wealth and grow up to be entitled fuckfaces.
He will be bobbing for dicks like a circus seal.
The ONLY shocking item would be if the Princeton econ grad were not a psychopath, as the two have never been mutually exclusive!
Perhaps not the only shocking item.
You'd be hard pressed to find any econ grad from Princeton (or any other Ivory League college for that matter) with an actual work history.
Employment history, sure, but work?
Second degree murder ?? WTF. what do you have to do to make first degree ? I thought pre-meditated was first degree? Well, I'm not a lawyer, thank God.
And so it begins...He is lawyered up and the authorities are already scared shitless that his team of soulless monsters will mount a defense that a dumbfuck jury of "his peers" will vote to acquit. His family wealth has already bought him a reduced charge and the body isn't even buried. 'Merica Fuck Yeah!
Watch the FSA do exactly this to their Uncle Sam once the EBT cards stop working
No, I think they'll take it out on convenience store owners and cops instead.
47% seniors at Ivy schools are Econ majors today.
That is fucking depressing. And the next 40% are probably Poli-Sci.
Wall Street and management consulting are where they head after graduation and anything below $100,000 starting base annual salary is considered as failure. Back in 1985 only 3%, now it's at almost 50%.
An economist without a high paying job? Whoda thunk?
well... indeed... it takes a while for the populi to realize that.... hmm
the emperor has no clothes.... ?
this is a sign that..... FINALLY.... said populi may be waking up...
and ekonomist's value in terms of employment and value brought to the table is no better.....
than.... say.... a drug dealer ? or.... a pimp ?.... or... a voodoo priest ?
(i was going to say.... used car salesmen..... but i would be insulting car salesmen)
then again..... maybe he had more altruistic moties...
such as ridding humanity of an evil sob wallstreeter.....
fuck them all three (ekonomists, wallstreeters, and spoiled shitheads)....
damned degenerates
Yep, but he sounds like a rich pretty boy that life didn't work out the way he thought it would. And he snapped.
Broken window theory, of course.
Woodrow Wilson put Princeton on the map. The same financiers who backed him politically, gave generously to the university. He sold his soul for Princeton and came to understand the damage he had done in the process. That was the end. We've been living in the matrix ever since. Princeton economist. Perfect.
Paulie Krugnuts has that job covered just fine, thank you very much. Blondie here was probably head of his class.
First post to the hedge, long time lurker...let the fresh meat heckling begin...
In keeping with the theme of fucktards from elitist universities, here is some contact info for the good
folks over at Haavad that really are eager to have us console them in their recent discovery of the ACA misery.

While it's probably true in this case, the police "make up" and "guess" motive all the time just to force the arrest. Until it comes from the shooter, it's a guess.

God does know. Every bizarre perversion you can imagine and then some. Incest, arson, rape, theft etc.
Killing rivals you compete with over an inheritance is common place for these clans. They have each other committed routinely like a sort of bizzare strategy game.
I won't shed any tears for either of them. As pretty as he is he will make a nice playtoy for Jamal in prison.
Sheeeeet...
Now Jamal and Bubba are gonna haf a biddin' war over this new fresh fish bitch?
You would think a psychopath with a degree from Princeton would be in high demand, certainly at the Fed.
This generation of tender brains, need a big fucking kick up the asshole.

Hanging around the NWO too much have we. And as consequence Sr. get´s...Gruberized.
But Jr. will get off...Eyes Wide Shut and all that.
Wow, you couldn't make this stuff up. Zero Hedge is becoming more interesting and jaw dropping than a tabloid newspaper; and it's all real; whatever real means, anymore.
6 years at Princeton that is.
krugman strikes again
With that nifty BS degree from Krugman U., for sure he'll have all the tools he needs to determine the PNV of those four bullets he fired in terms of lost inheritence. Brillian dude, your dad is 70, you're 30, he's worth a bundle and you're worthless - and you kill him because he reduces you piddling allowance by $200/mo. You'll have lots of time to do the math.
foolish boy... a nailgun woulda been more believable to suicide your dad with .... and they said he was inteliigent , bah!
Now I know why tigers eat their young - Rodney Dangerfield.
what's krugman's son up to these days?
