@27 Good Questions. I updated the story-so now you know everything I do.
On another note to all Dealbreaker readers: I rarely comment on a story but if I do… I always use my full name.
Thanks for reading,
TB

@27 = Kouwe
BTW – every breaking news reporters job is to be first. They can always update latter.
Dealbreaker nailed this scoop!

@26 Um, hello there are no terms of severance in this post either. Just saying employees will get bonuses based on the performance of the fund means nothing. What are the terms? Are they different from the ones the PMs agreed on before the firm shut down. These are important questions and I wish the author could have taken a bit more time to dig into the details instead of just throwing something up to be first of the mark.

@24 Right, that was in the investor letter they sent last week.
The letter said they were trying to outplace employees.
You know what’s not in the letter and what’s not in the dealbook post? Anything about bonuses and terms of severance.
FAIL.

No one cares about this. It is part of the severance package that was reported last week.

Anyone want to bet who will steal Dealbreaker’s scoop first? Pulliam at WSJ or Kouwe at NYT.
I’m betting WSJ.

Yeah, you need to be generous in order to get everybody to sign those severance papers that say you will forever keep your mouth shut.

Not saying Raj hasn’t a heart of gold, but dollars have been known to buy silence too. Supborn perjury even.
