Given that we are fully supportive of the Taking It Easy lifestyle, we relay the following without judgment, and perhaps even with a bit of “break me off a piece of that.”
One of AQR’s founding partners, Robert Krail, has been completely absent from the firm for almost three years now. He moved out to Hollywood and bought a $20mm house. Arguably, this is in violation of the key personnel provision in most of the firm’s investors’ offering memorandum. If anyone is trying to get out of the lockup they could use that.
Bob is the smartest of them all. Cashed out and rode off into the sunset. Good for the guy.
This is all well and good. But when do we start getting leakage about the stress tests?
Have Jamie, Ken, Vikram, etc., been summoned?
Have the final answers been given?
Who will be diluting the piss out of their shareholders first?
@2- no, no, and BAC/C.
any other questions?
Bob will be one of the main characters in the upcoming season of Californication
Go Bob!!!!!
The only “key personnel” mentioned in legal documents is Dr. Cliff Asness. Everyone knows AQR = Cliffy. The other guys are water boys.
@4 really?
Something seems funny about a guy cashing out and moving to the gay part of Los Angeles.
@7- you have not seen Bob’s wife. The other partners’ wives look like overweight, disease-ridden whores compared to Mrs. Robert Krail.
I thought I saw Bob in a recent episode of Entourage when the boys were hanging out at Hyde
Check out his digs – I’d move too:

How do I know if I am prestigious enough for GS?
-@11
You asked, so you are not.
Arsenal or Manchester United?
12 WON
@9 I was literally thrown out of Hyde once. Not easy to do as the stairs leading up to the back door are steep. Didn’t see Bob tho.
@10- that house is sweet
rebuttal from cliff in 3, 2, 1…
The real problem is that Bob is still taking his founding partner’s share of the income. This is a huge source of friction among the principals.
Is there a former or a current AQR employee that is not on the DealBreaker boards?
And 12 does win.
“The real problem is that Bob is still taking his founding partner’s share of the income. This is a huge source of friction among the principals.”
well, yeah.
@22 The $20m is in West Hollywood
I look at pictures of that house and then I visualize my apartment.
Then I look outside at the 50 degree rain in May.
After nailing your mother, I ask myself, why do I in fact live in New York?
@14 ManU = gay.
But the f*ckers will still win.
24,
Take everyone on the 4/5 in the morning, give them blow w/no alcohol, and you’re still not even close to achieving the full level of obnoxiousness which is Los Angeles. (Although the women kill this horse and pony show, so there’s that…)
For argument’s sake, I’d do Pasadena.
@26 Los Angeles story ->My girl and I were at a pool party (birthday party no less) and at this party was Eva Angelina just hanging out as a friend of a friend. It took me about 15 minutes of where do I know her from?
@27
I give up, were you like first year analyst training buddies at Jeffries or something?
…and who do you think it was? Emilio Estevez! The Mighty Duck man himself! And I was like “EMILIO!”
best birthday pool party EVAR
I fell into the LaBrea tar pits and had to be fished out with a crane
The Guy From Delaware
@TGFD you’re not dead? hurrah!
Not 31 here, but what is the real story with TGFD. Did he pass away or was that just some sort of joke?
apparently he suffered a “Cerebral Enema”
check closing bell from yesterday.
stfu about TGFD. this is about AQR.
Fuck AQR. Worst move of my career.
l8r b1tches!
Who cares what Clifford says. AQR is a sham built on bad theories and is down a zillion percent the last couple of years. Some “alpha”.
@7
Wow you sound like a 1st class douche bag.
