Do you think that's possible? I don't know if it will happen, but it makes sense. He wants to be part of LBO's, so he needs a balance sheet and is unlikely to start his own advisory firm. DB is one of the leaders in LBO's (most fees from KKR) and is definitely not shy about using their sheet. Yhey are trying to improve their M&A franchise, which Moellis is really good at, so he would enjoy the challenge.

Why don't you think he will start a boutique like every other rainmaker that's tired of the bureaucracy? He's got the connections, and he's got like 5 other rockstar bankers who would follow him..
Correct me if I'm wrong, but he's not exclusively focused on LBOs (I thought Warren Woo was the guy at UBS LA that did only LevFin).
Highly unlikely he goes to DB. He'll start his own shop if he does leave.
Well, he is not all about LBO's, but he was embarassed by UBS' lack of desire to use their balance sheet. DB, on the other hand, is a specialist when it comes to using its balance sheet. As far as the advisory, if he is leaving because he couldn't use the balance sheet, then surely he won't find that in a start-up boutique
