Meet the man who murdered his rich dad for reducing his pocket money

30 year Thomas Gilbert Jr, (pictured left) shot his 70year old rich dad Thomas Gilbert (pictured right) at his Manhattan home on Sunday afternoon January 4th. Gilbert Sr was the founder of $200million hedge fund, Wainscott Capital.

Thomas Jr had gone to see his father at his home after the father threatened to stop paying his $2,400-a-month rent and also cut his weekly allowance to $300, according to New York Daily News. While father and son were reportedly arguing about their issues, Thomas Jr sent his mother out of the house to buy him a sandwich so she wouldn't witness what he was planning to do.

According to reports, Thomas, who attended $50,000-a-year school, then shot his father in the head and left the gun, said to belong to his father, on his chest.

 
The hedge fund founder's body was discovered by his wife who then called police and told them she'd left her son with his father before she left the house that afternoon. She then gave the police her son's address. The NYPD arrested Thomas Jr later at his own home and this morning charged him with his father's murder and criminal possession of a weapon.

New money Nigerians, take note well well. Buying everything for your child is not progressive. It is not even love. It is wickedness because you create dependency. Asking his mother to go and but him sandwich at his age!! Mtcheew. there is a reason God created work.

Mumu. Fighting over his fathers money shamelessly. I don't know why its too common amongst these rich men kids. They r so lazy that most of them are literally nothing, absolutely nothing without their father and their father in turn controls their lives cuz they know they r d ones with d cash. Moral lesson: try to be independent and u won't have to ask daddy for permission to take charge of Ï…̲̣̥r̲̅ life! RIP Thomas Snr.

Thought I was the only one that noticed that part. How can you send your mother out to go get a sandwich during an argument with your father? Nah, that's not their culture either. That story sounds somehow. If the mother was on her way out and the son asked her if she can grab her a sandwich on the way...now that would make more sense

Unknown said...

At dis age stil taking pocket money frm his dad.

Indeed, he is a liability and over grown baby in making.

Unknown said...

He should b locked up and d keys thrown into d river.

Never to b found again.

Unknown said...

There is always a lesson to learn from every story. The post earlier about the play boy talks on how he left home, fend and suported his poor family, while this talk about a rich family whose talks about a 30years old man who depends on his dad riches to survive. Just because his pocket money was reduced perhaps the father now see reasons to make the grown boy fend for himself, the boy saw it as punishment and killed the innocent dad. Life is a bitch.

PRETTY GIRL said...

The things we read on the Internet nowadays scares the Hell outta me,My God!And to think that he looks responsible ....I found it a lil awkward though that he actually 'sent' his mum on an errand and she went, because in naija here you don't do that to your mum or an older person ,except that person is your employee ofcourse(But I know they're not like us though)...It's really sad when the same person you show love and share your wealth with is the very person who takes your own life,and even more painful when that person is your blood,Your own child# May he RIP#His wife must be going through a lot ,May God comfort her at this very trying moments

Oyibo and their stupid thinking though. Now that the dad is dead. Who is going to make the money again since his still in school. I pity his mother who's life is not even safe knowing that she has a murderer as a son.

My point exactly. Over pampering




Human Being no be God

Damilola said...

As in ehn, he has bn a spoilt brat right frm time... Still collecting allowance 30yrs when some Nigerians re already feeding parents and siblings at that age while married sef

Unknown said...

At age 30? still waiting on his father to pay his house rent and give him pocket money? common!! He's clearly a spoiled brat. The scripture is clear on how a child is to be trained in such a way that the parents can have peace in their old age. The right grooming they neglected to give him when he was young has turned back to haunt them.
Clearly this young unfortunate chap had been over indulged and unnecessarily pampered all through his developmental years; and the mother; sent out to get sandwiches? what kind of disrespect is that? is that love? who should send who? maybe he's the only child perhaps? such indulgence! I trust Nigerians- A child who has denied his parents sleep, will himself see no sleep, rubbish! as our locals will say : ''Plantain dey spoil go, una say e dey ripe!''

Unknown said...

At his age??mtchew...this world nawa o!

kaycee said...

Young folks should understand that their dad's wealth isn't theirs except of course he wills it to them. That way they won't have to look at the wealth as both their dad's and them and won't get angry when they are not funded to their expectation.

Anu ofia.Has d money increased now?

Unknown said...

Mofucka!. Instead of either showing remorse so the father can revert the pay or start making his own damn money to at least prove he is man enough,he did this?. Now he not only lost out of the money,he did that of school,love(that pretty girl is gonna walk for sure),friends,connection,family etc. #dumbass!. If he isnt dished with a life imprisonment...it will be too soon.

Unknown said...

This is a real BASTARD!!! He even sent his Mum on errand sef, dts so absurd of him...
