Here’s your hint: the question came from someone not only known by colleagues as a dick, but a lover of dick as well. Chrome, rubber, glass, whatever. Okay, guess.
If you answered Jeffrey Gundlach, you win the prize (a title of your choice from this collection).
Former colleagues recall Gundlach as brilliant but arrogant. One recalls shortly after he joined TCW having lunch with Gundlach and being asked: “What’s it like having lunch with a genius?”
Here’s a little bit more about the genius who brought his 6 inch brown rubber penis, weed, pink and black strap restraining device, and copy of Ass Traffic Volume 2 to the office:
* He’s a B-lo Boy (and presumed lover of Kan-Jam)
* Dartmouth grad
* Former drummer
* Got into finance because of Robin Leach (“he was inspired to work in financial services in the 1980s by an episode of the TV show “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” hosted by Robin Leach and featuring the 10 top-paying careers.”)
* Followed out the door by a bunch of clients and colleagues (“Small investors have jumped ship as well, and the $12 billion TCW Total Return Bond Fund Gundlach used to manage has shriveled to $5.9 billion.”
* This: “Gundlach acknowledges that he frequently refers to himself in email as “The Godfather” or “The Pope” and occasionally sends reprimands to those who fail to use the monikers in addressing him.”

Bess, a Kan-Jam reference? Marry me.
Maestro??!!!
Isn't "MENSA" latin for "dildo" anyway? Anyone?

this guy is awesome
did he have nicknames for his dildos too?
Bassness who else could it be?
@10 basness?
@9/10 he played drums not bass
@10 – Bessness?
@13 bess *is* a genius.
Oh, we're not talking about cliffy???
FWIW. prefer my cliffy with twice as much a$$ in the name.

@15: A = 2A ?
Robin Leach, holla at me sometime.
-Biggie
Dartmouth……perhaps should've learned not to Dart his Mouth off quite so much
@16 That's my understanding. Which is why you should always switch.
-another former Lehman quant
anyone know what fraternity he was in at dartmouth?
I dunno – never had lunch with myself…
(slapping a pink dildo on forehead).
@21/22:
We don't care about your shitty performance art.
Maestro??!!!
Bess: it seems as you are focused a tad bit too much on the alleged facts in this story. TCW is a big company with lots of down side and no upside from Jeff's departure.
You may want to be a little more skeptical about what you are hearing.
@24
I agree with you, but the facts are The Pope is a little nuts. And all the performance excellence? We are talking about high grade bonds. And we are comparing him against funds that invest in all kinds of bonds. So he is crazy, selfish, seedy and only knows one small asset class. Seems like the end of the road for this little big man.
Bassness who else could it be?
Heard JG has a hard on for Oaktree brass from early TCW and brags about fleecing them in this one. He is laughing to the bank.

I'll take Lenny D for $1000, Alex

Doubleline is a moot point. They will be out of business as soon as the lawsuit begins. Quinn, Emanuel(TCW's lawyers) are the number one business litigation firm in the US with the most 9 figure settlements of any firm around. Their trial record is 92% WIN. With all the forensic evidence already in the bag, Doubleline is fucked. You can't start a company with stolen material. Have fun in jail/and or pushing brooms.
TCW/SocGen should have fired JC et al immediately after the "stick up" on 9/3. At the very least they should have been monitoring the phone/computer records of JG and the Gang of 7 (hey, good name for a rock band!) and canned them as soon as they had any evidence of any illicit activity. On 2nd thought, perhaps they did start monitoring right away and the Feds and/or their civil attys didn't recommend termination until they had enough evidence to sink them for good. The complaint sure was filed extraordinarily quickly after the termination. Appreciate Bess's obvious righteous indignation at this and hope she will continue to follow.
Whatever happened to Howard Marks investment in Doubleine? I thought $1 billion! no way, right?

At last! Someone with the insight to solve the proeblm!
