Thomas Gilbert Sr., a founding managing partner of the hedge fund Wainscott Capital, was found dead in his apartment in January 2015 with a gunshot wound to the head.
Gilbert's attorneys did not dispute that he killed his father but said he was not guilty by reason of insanity. Jurors dismissed the insanity defense; they also found him guilty on two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree.
Gilbert, 34, played football at Princeton and graduated with a degree in economics. At the time of the shooting, he was 30 and unemployed, receiving up to $1,000 a week from his parents.
Hours before Thomas Sr. was killed, he cut his son's weekly allowance to $300, prosecutors said.

The guy was this plane typical liberal Behavior. What an idiot.
My guess is drugs and/or alcohol. Pity.
If it bleeds it leads. I agree with you, but FR is no different. And the beat clicks on. La de la de la ...
The allowance was for whatever the son cared to spend it on.
The late Lou Reed:)
His parents lived in a POSH apartment and had a summer house in the Hamptons. The father paid for the son's own apartment, which was in a different section of Manhattan.
Thanks, you got me. I have the cola I’m sipping, streaming out of my nostrils, cause I’m laughing so hard at your description of the young prince.
Wrong. Half went to drugs and the other half to prostitutes.
I would have put that money to better use. I’d finish college, buy a home, better insurance, maybe a couple of classic cars to restore..
I’d quite possibly foster a kid, too. Not enough truly good people are available or willing to do that.
And what was this guy doing that as a Princeton grad, he had to take that money from his parents? I won’t even let mine pay for my education.
An unemployed 30-y/o Princeton graduate kills his father over allowance? That is pathetic. I’m not sure it was worth buying that loser’s admission to Princeton if that’s how he turned out.
The FED employees 18000 of these morons so why didn’t he have a job...
