Picture 166.pngThat’s at least the story the dildo collector told Bloomberg so okay, sure. Other things “The Godfather” (also known as “The Pope“) got off his chest include:
* The fact that he is, as previously stated, a genius:

“I am amazingly brilliant analytically,” says Gundlach, a wiry man whose short brown hair hugs his skull like a helmet.

* That the drugs, paraphernalia (“bearing evidence of recent use”), 12 sexual “devices,” 34 “hardcore pornographic magazines,” and 36 “hardcore sexually explicit DVDs and videocassettes” found in his former offices at TCW were nothing, and that attempts to use them in order to make him look bad were cheap, since it’s not like he had them scattered about the place.

Gundlach says the drugs, porn and sex toys are relics from a closed chapter in his life and were stored in a crate. He says TCW disclosed their existence to damage his reputation with investors. “It’s ancient stuff, like a box in an attic,” he says. “But they figured, ‘Let’s try and destroy the guy and throw some slander and sleaze on him.’”

* And this:

“I’m the guy who makes it rain in the desert.”

    You can not make this stuff up. It’s too comical to be fiction.

    he tripped, all right, but it wasn’t a computer cable. But it is an innocent misinterpretation, and is not meant to debase his status or standing.

    he tripped over a cable cord and then it was conveniently used to tie his ankles together to restrain him while being taken from behind.

    Would anyone be surprised if he made an “appearance” on “To Catch a Predator”?

    He tripped over a computer cable? Must have been the power cord for the Dealbreaker web server…

    I like the part about the TCW lawyer chasing El Jefe down 17 flights of stairs as Gundlach fled the premises, no doubt proclaiming his genius in the echoing stairwell.
    Tripped over a cable? Hey, points for creativity. Ran into a guy’s fist is the version I heard. Then ran into it again. And again, etc.

    “tripped over a cable” .. hmm i’ll remember that excuse the next time my “partner” beats me up for not cooking the sandwich the proper way and I need to explain to the boss why i’m in a cast.

    @6, 14, considering it has to go somewhere, the T’s are one of your classier alternatives IMO.

    The cleaning crew left the contraband in his office desk. Both desks in both offices, two different buildings in two different locations with two independent cleaning crews. LIAR.
