NYC Medical Examiner Removes Body of Millionaire Father (below right) Allegedly Killed By Son (upper right)
[From article]
A 30-year-old man accused of killing his millionaire Manhattan father is a suspected arsonist and spoiled brat who may have murdered Daddy because the old man cut his allowance by a measly $200, sources said Monday.
Thomas Gilbert Jr. was already hiding a dark past — including his status as the current prime suspect in a Hamptons arson targeting a wealthy rival — before allegedly killing his respected Wall Street father, Thomas Gilbert Sr., 70, sources told The Post.
The pampered Princeton grad went on his alleged murderous rampage amid a months-long feud with his father over what he still thought was his rightful due — despite his parents giving him the best education money could buy and even subsidizing his surfer-dude, gym-rat lifestyle when he got older, sources said.

Gilbert Sr. “had been giving him $2,400 a month for rent and $600 for spending money, and he was cutting [the spending money] to $400,” a law enforcement source said. “They had argued about it before.”
Intent on reining in his son, Gilbert Sr., the Harvard-educated founder of Wainscott Capital, even planned to whittle down the $400 by another $100, a second source said.

The son may have been planning a getaway. An open suitcase filled with clothes and lying on the hallway floor of his first-floor apartment could be seen through the home’s peephole Monday.
At his arraignment Monday night — at which he was ordered held without bail on charges of second-degree murder and weapons possession — prosecutors said Gilbert was found with a skimming device and 21 blank credit cards.

Another source said the son suffered from severe obsessive-compulsive disorder and had been off his medication at the time of the slaying.
Gilbert Jr. spent most of his time hanging out in the Hamptons, Rothschild said.
“He surfed and went to the gym and went to yoga, he was very fit,’’ she said.

Gilbert Sr. ran a hedge fund with about $10 million in assets and owned a multimillion-dollar home in the Georgica Association, a gated community in East Hampton, records show.
