What do you think - did Rothschild make the right call, or should the media fallout have been a dealbreaker?

I mean the Rotschilds are Jewish so makes complete sense. Am happy for him.
Ken Moelis is also jewish lmao
...and a public company.
Good for him. I was across from his junior team as a buyside advisor. Total Chad.
It’s crazy how this forum normalizes someone posting a dick riding comment like this lmaooo
Sorry, perhaps I’m just lacking context since I don’t know the guy or the situation, but what’s wrong with the OP saying that he respects a banker he’s worked with in the past?
Genuine question. Is this comment specifically because this specific guy in question is hated in particular, or are praises toward bankers just seen as cringe in general?
Confused.
The guy lost his job and had to sit on the sidelines for a while. He had lots of public shame. He paid his price. Anyone arguing against him working is ridiculous. He shouldn't be banned from working for the rest of his life. Get a grip.

Who are the bastards in this case?
Antisemites
Yup, just gotta keep moving forward!
What’s up with the jew shit? How does him being a Jew impact this at all? Dude punched someone, justified or not, and got a decent job offer after working at a decent bank previously.
How does this translate into Hebrew being on my screen in the IB forum?
Because the altercation that caused this incident was over him being Jewish.
I thought the video was of a random person throwing liquid over him.
How did they know he's Jewish?
At least someone is thinking clearly.
NO reason for Hebrew to be written on this forum. They are just playing victim.
The guy brutally assaulted a WOMAN. He's a criminal and shouldn't ever be in a front-office role again. Period.
The man was surrounded on a dark night in Brooklyn by aggressive protestors who threw a drink in his face (he had no clue what was in it). It was a fight or flight response; he acted in self defense.
I don't know the details of what happened or if his being Jewish impacted the matter. My only thoughts are that if he was singled out for being Jewish, and assaulted (liquid thrown at him), I can empathise with him.
But attacking a woman pretty much precludes you from being considered a real man. Period. I don't want to hear any of this, "equal rights, equal fights" or DEI nonsense either. A woman is a woman and should never be attacked by a man. If you do this, you weren't raised right.
Anyway, they're working on the sellside, and at Roth of all places, hardly being given the keys to the world.
This was an act of self defense, that is not assault even if against a woman. And even if this weren’t triggered anti-Semitic, it doesn’t change the fact that random people on a dark night assaulted him as a group, which throwing a drink does actually count as assault. I think anyone who watches the video and has common sense would realize this was self defense.
Good for him - I’m sure Moelis was sad to lose him (but their hands were tied).
Guy was found guilty by half the court of public opinion and “served his time”. Let’s move on.
Seems like every thread I come across has been either nuked or straight up deleted
Nobody should be punching people - period. I hope he does well at Rothchilds and learns from his mistakes.
