Sense on Cents

Jeff Gundlach

It is not often that the top bond manager on Wall Street gets fired. What prompted the unceremonious departure of Jeff Gundlach from Trust Company of the West?

Stories of financial intrigue are always riveting. The real deal of authentic Wall Street financial conspiracies and resulting legal actions are much more riveting. Did Jeff Gundlach and other defendants steal a wealth of TCW proprietary information prior to being shown the door? Did Gundlach, et al commit fraud and a breach of fiduciary duty while at TCW? Did TCW plan to confiscate revenue generated by Gundlach and team?

What are we to make of TCW management’s allegation that they found inappropriate contraband in Gundlach’s office the day he was fired. What sort of contraband? Marijuana, drug paraphernalia, a collection of sexual devices, and hardcore pornographic magazines.

Wow. The gloves have come off very early. Here’s a link (hat tip to Deal Breaker) to the complaint filed in Superior Court of the State of California County of Los Angeles: Trust Company of the West vs Jeff Gundlach et al.

Real life is better than the movies. Get the large popcorn while reviewing the legal brief. This complaint is clearly the most interesting, high profile personnel case on Wall Street in a long time. ~ LD
