Did TCW Set Up Jeffrey Gundlach To Look Like A Sex-Crazed Maniac?
Yesterday we discussed the matter of Jeffrey Gundlach, who is being sued by his former employer, TCW Group. The Los Angeles-based asset manager is claiming, among other things, that Gundlach and a bunch of ex-employees stole TWC proprietary information to be used in a new company launched last month, DoubleLine LLC. The other "things" being alleged are that on the day JG was fired, a search of his office turned up drugs, paraphernalia ("bearing evidence of recent use"), 12 sexual "devices," 34 "hardcore pornographic magazines," and 36 "hardcore sexually explicit DVDs and videocassettes."
Now, on the one hand, maybe all of this is legit. Maybe Gundlach just loves his drugs and porn, and needed them close to him at all hours of the day. On the other hand: the sheer volume of stuff just seems really suspect, and as though perhaps someone was maybe tasked with stashing some stuff around the office to make Gundlach look bad, except that whoever was put on the job failed to exercise a little restraint, making the whole thing slightly unbelievable.
Let's just say Gundlach does feel the need to jerk it at the office, and, being blocked from XTube, has no other choice but to bring in his own materials. Fine. Would he seriously need thirty-six different DVDs??? One, okay. Two, fine. Everyone needs variety. THIRTY-SIX? To say nothing of him apparently having every single issue of Honcho? And twelve different devices? So, basically, what TCW is trying to tells us, is that either a) Gundlach essentially spent every single minute of the working day looking at porn, in a sex swing, with a ball gag in his mouth or b) he was operating a online wholesale sex shop distributor and kept the inventory at his office. And not that there's anything wrong with either, but it just seems a bit suspect. And forces me to ask:
