Murderous Son, Who Killed His Hedge Fund Father Over $200 Allowance, Was A Princeton Economist Grad

Tyler Durden's picture




 

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.

A) Princeton is a hole.  I've only met one person who went to school there that I actually geniunely like and is actually a good person.

B) The Federal Minimum Wage is $7.25.  40 weeks of that = $290/wk.  This guy was going to get, tax free, $300 AFTER the haircut he was going to take on his allowance.  

This is why I laugh at the bigoted folks who say, "Watch when they take the welfare and the EBT away, the poors and the blacks are going to riot!".  No, no, no.  The "poors" and the "blacks" and the rest of the low incomes folk are the tough people of America.  They are the ones America sends to their wars.  They are the ones who endured the Great Recession.  They are the meritocracy that produced some of America's greatest businesses, and some of it's greatest thinkers like Mark Twain, Susan B. Anthony, Martin Luther King; people who put their asses on the line.  Skin in the game, folks.  Rich people in a QE4EVA environment have no skin in the game; and when the gravy train stops, that's when SHTF. 

Austerity sucks, but poor folk can deal with it. We've been doing so for centuries.  

The rich people on the other hand, when they don't get their way?  Then this shit happens.  The fact that a Rothchild is in the middle of this affair makes it all more incestuous.   

When the market crashes, the rich will start wars.  Whether the aloof, uneducated populace falls for it is the only variable.

The dumbass had a father that was a hedge fund manager and all the father had to do was give his son a job.  A simple solution, but that's too difficult to solve.

OK, I'll go with that but you also should consider the fact that his father would not hire him for various other reasons which at this time seem all to obvious. I mean, aside from being rich, handsome, athletic etc. he is also, obviously, a total fuck-up and loser.

Hell they should have legalized Pot 34 years ago just like Alcohol except it doesn't kill as many people.

- Prohibition of Russia in Crimea & Ukraine has the same effect, it is teaching Russians how to secure their own credit, their own credit cards, their own Swift system, their own IMF/WB, their own Currency... and filling Technological Gaps and Investment Gaps that the West Filled
- Prohibition of Marijuana has lead to super strains of Pot

Its wasn't about the money or the allowance.

Read Herman Hesse's ,"The Glass Bead Game", or Freudian works analysing patricide.

It was all psychological.  All sons resent their fathers ; if a son is 'loony' this what transpires.

oudinot's picture

equality:  You just don't get it.  There is always resentment from the son to the father.  See Freud's, "Totem and Taboo", this tome describes this phenomenon perfectly.

This phenomenon is what commenced man's idea of 'God'-the killed father and the ensuing 'guilt'- begat the idea of 'God'.

Most of these feelings are manifested  non violently:  only when the son is 'looney' or out of sorts does actual fraticide occur as in this case.

And, its not my idea,nincompoop ,  it's Freuds' and it is not my fault you are not well read.

"mamelukes being 13th-century Muslim slave soldiers" - is the same as calling Roman soldiers slave soldiers. Sure some soldiers were taken captive from other tribes, assimalated to fight for a new king, etc. but that's a pretty odd definition to assign to the Mameluks. It is even more odd they used the 13th-century qualifier because in the mid-13th century they ruled modern-day Libya in the West, down through Egypt, and up through modern-day Israel, Palestine, Syria, Persian, and Mesopotamia. Through the end of the 13th century the mongols had started chipping away at that empire, but I'm guessing the Sultan didn't call himself a "slave soldier" at any point during the 13th century.

He was mentally OK enough to graduate from Princeton with a degree in economics but not OK enough to land a job? Doesn't compute in the least unless that university is just giving out diplomas to whoever they admited as freshmen four years earlier.

He could have got a job in NYC with a Princeton degree, but more than likely he would have been required to go into work oh so early in the morning like by 9:00 am on a monday, tuesday, thursday before the market opens.   When you party until 3 am most nights and wake up and go to lunch this could be problematic.  And inconvenient.  Might not be able to catch that gnarly goat wave when he needed to.  So he figured he would not waste everyone's time and embarrassment of getting fired for not showing up.  Better just to talk big, plan on opening your own hedge fund that never gets off the ground.....and then accidentaly lose your fucking mind and shoot your Dad in the face.

Basically the dude felt he was entitled to his father's wealth without having to demonstrate his worth or work for it.

 

This is very simple. All dad probably wanted him to do was get a job, ANY job and he would have bumped up his allowance, maybe bump it WAY up. But Dude thought his dad was so rich he shouldn't have to work that he was ENTITLED.

 

Wouldn't surprise me a bit if his father at one time tried to get him a job.

Medications - Mayo Clinic

"There are no medications specifically approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat antisocial personality disorder. However, several types of psychiatric medications may HELP WITH certain conditions sometimes associated with antisocial personality disorder or with symptoms such as aggression. These medications may include antipsychotic, antidepressant or mood-stabilizing medications. They must be prescribed cautiously because some have the potential for misuse."

Gilbert Jr was reported to be in psychotherapy. Post on ZH two days ago diagnosed Gilbert's illness as "Antisocial Personality Disorder". Medications of 80% of mass murderers -- that are not sealed by court order due to BigPharma -- are psychtropics and anti-depressants with violent side effects -- suicide and murder. 

Ironically for the victim who earned a living working and investing in diagnostics, did not spend the money for a DNA test to be matched to personalized medications and physicians to monitor the side effects for his suspected arson and dog killing son with the personality of a turtle. 

No indication the victim was suicidal. Maybe just stupid for inciting/triggering his son by calling him stupid. Maybe neither could/can deal with guilt.

I always like to look at all sides when someone gets killed.  Of course that's with the opinion that some people really do need to die.

Ok first off........lot's of people in the US don't have a work history.  Or a crappy one.  And if your dad was rich and giving you money and promises why bother?

Secondly.....maybe his dad was a fucking royal dick.

I don't know the guy.......but if I had a dad that dangled carrots over my head for long enough time and kept them just out of reach to keep me under his thumb it's possible I might crack after awhile.

I'm not saying killing him was right, but I understand. LOL.

The evidence doesn't look to favor the kid I admit lol.  But it would be cool to have a real close-up view of the relationship and find out exactly what kind of father that guy was. 

I've had first hand experience of a dad with money.  Nicest guy in the world outside, a fucking monster to the family.  When I was a kid he was drunk 24/7 and did nothing but yell and scream at the entire family every night about how he was sick of us being around and when he wasn't home he was out fucking around on my mother in every corner of the country making deals all over the place etc etc etc.

It wasn't a great lifestyle.

Fathers with that much money who don't invest in their own family are pieces of shit.  What he should have done was hand his kid 100k and partner with him to start his own hedgefund.  It isn't a lot of money and the kid could get some experience.  This reminds of that POS Warren Buffet hiding 30 billion in a charity fund to avoid taxes while dis-owning his grand daughter.  These people were given a start once too.  If you can't pass that opportunity on to your family when you are so able, you might as well suck a bag of dicks one in my book.

OT but  Fun stuff or Serious Stuff?

From NASA's site--

    A NEO hitting Earth would need to be about 100 feet (30 meters) or larger to cause significant devastation in populated areas. Almost 30 percent of the 460-foot-sized NEOs have been found, but less than 1 percent of the 100-foot-sized NEOs have been detected.

Let that sink in....a 100 foot asteroid could devastate populated areas, but we have only found 1%

Nukepro developed a free downloadable app for asteroid energy calculation, its actually a fully function Excel spreadsheet.

Have a look, there is an Asteroid going to buzz earth Jan 26, details are here, it carries the energy of 6828 large nuclear bombs

It is annoying when people just whip out the term 'psychopath' whenever someone kills another person. Psychopathy isn't defined as murdering someone and most people who kill others or are violent aren't psychopaths. Seems clear to me most people really have no idea what the term psychopath means ans figure psychopath means "crazy guy who goes and kills people".

If the guy was mentally ill and taking meds then it is highly doubtful he was a psychopath but hey, why let the actual definitions of things get in the way of whipping out a flashy term?

hey with a decent lawyer how many years would he expect to be inside ? Do a bit of yoga, learn a few tricks, suck some dick and he'll probably be out in 5? Dont think Daddy had a chance to change the will so not a bad way of upping the weekly stipend - start a hedge fund on release - easy street !

Weird symmetry to "The Wolf of Wall Street", (free on youtube!).

The second half is worth the wait.

This guy has 'severe OCD", something you want in a doctor or a bean-counter, not so much in a relative.

I used to have a silver-spoon roomy with this sickness.  Much booze, many pills and a fair bit of self-inflicted violence ensued.  roomy could not please mama, mama was a former celebrity ice queen, a born castrater. 

Funny about the counterfeiting/credit card thing, you know,  'if it's ok for tptb, it's ok for me, because I AM.'  roomy o mine also had this worthless/entitled inner life that could not be reconciled.

Another thing, in Jungian dream-theory, if you dream of 'killing the monster/parent/partner', it is a signal of health, you are exorcizing the demons of power from your life story, but it is meant to be symbolic, not guidance.

If I were his lawyer I'd go for 3-5 in prison and probation for 10 for voluntary manslaughter. If the DA won't go for that, take it to a jury and plea temporary insanity due to the psychotropics. He'll be out of the mental ward in a year. Play up the Wall Street angle in the right way and the jury might just nullify the killing, as a community service, and let him walk.

When you say "Murderous Son, Who Killed His Hedge Fund Father Over $200 Allowance, Was A Mentally-Disturbed Princeton Economist Grad" don't you mean allegedly?

Or has he confessed or are Americans now guilty until proven innocent in a court of law like the Limeys

Mom and dad in apartment.  Son shows up.  Son asks mom to go shopping for him.  Mom leaves.  Mom comes back with stuff for son.  Son is not there to get stuff mom bought for him.  Dad is dead.  Gun in left hand, backwards, Vince Foster style.  Definitely suicided himself and son was so distraught he left before mom came back with munchies.

Without any witnesses or a confession that certainly could be one of any number of possibilities. It seems to be the Americans that are the fastest to rush to judgement. The MSM and their criminal overseers have brainwashed them but good

Tommy Gilbert Jr's ex-girlfriend, Anna Rothschild, revealed details of alleged killer's troubled life on the day he was charged with the murder of his 70-year-old multimillionaire father.

'He's very much a loner. His phone never rang. No one texted him or called him. The one time it rang in four months while we were together it was his mother,' the 49-year-old told the Post on Monday.

The Manhattan socialite dated Gilbert Jr, who is 19 years her junior, for four months in early 2014 and last saw him at Christmas.

It's not the first time Ms Rothschild's colorful love life has drawn her into the public eye.

In October 2003, the former London-based interior designer claimed she was dating actor Alec Baldwin, WENN reported, but he laughed off rumors saying at the time that he was enamored with a 25-year-old trainee lawyer.

Several years before, Ms Rothschild, who gave her age as 31 but would have been 35, spoke of her love for large diamond rings to The New York Times as she divorced her second husband.  

She told The Times that her first, stockbroker husband had given her a five-carat diamond ring from Harry Winston while the second, an English businessman, had trumped up a six-carat piece.'Personally, I would have preferred ten carats,' she said.

She's been married at least twice and her registered address is a small rental on the Upper East Side.  

The 49-year-old is the founder of A. Rothschild & Co. PR company. On the firm's Facebook page, she describes herself as 'an MBA Columbia University graduate and one of the most sought after socialites on the Upper East Side, Ms. Rothschild owns one of the most reputable and successful Public Relations and Marketing firms in New York City'.

The website for the venture appeared to be now defunct. The last event posted to the firm's social media pages was on July 30.

According to court records, Ms Rothschild filed for bankruptcy in 2011 and 2013. 

In 2012, Ms Rothschild was praising the benefits of taking a car service to Greenwich, Connecticut because of the hot dating scene in the suburbanite clubs.

She told The Post at the time: 'There’s so many guys! I don’t know which way to look.'

In winter 2012, she was rumored to be dating Prince Lorenzo Borghese, made famous by season nine of reality show The Bachelor.

The Italian royal, who actually hails from New Jersey and runs a pet-care company, threw a lavish New Year's Eve party with the socialite at a Park Avenue penthouse.

Time for a joke:

Mid thirties young man is in a bar and spots a very stunning almost 50 year old at the other end of the bar.

As he is ogling her she notices him and goes over to him.

Woman: I noticed you looking at me

Man: I admit I was.

Woman: Do you find me attractive?

Man: More than you can imagine.

Woman: Would you like to make love to me?

Man: Without question

Woman: Have you ever made love to mother and daughter at the same time?

Man: No I haven't but would love to.

Woman: OK then let's go to my place

 

So they hop in a taxi and get to the woman's place. She unlocks the front door and they both go in.

She goes over to the balustrade of the staircase and calls out:

"Mum, come on down, we've got a paying customer."

But as 'meds' are considered 'common place' in Murica no one bats an eyelid.

Sick people are usually medicated. A society that takes being medicated as common practice is sick.

This whole scenario makes me sick.....

There is a Ben Bernanke angle here or I'm not bid the soldier.

Did Bernanke tell a few of his favorite students to look for the Dow at 6600 and then jump in with both feet?  200% long. 

The old man only gave him 10k.  The Dow went to 18000.  Tommy could have been worth medium 8 figures.

I'd be pissed too.

It's easy to make derogatory remarks but the reality is that there is a society full of problem kids at all points of the spectrum regardless of wealth etc.
