Hey everyone, I’ve been hearing about emails going around regarding a Warburg and Apollo associate involved in something shady. Has anyone received more details on this? Just trying to confirm what’s legit. I’m at an MF (KKR, Carlyle, H&F). Thanks!

CVP/Gtown kid dropped receipts exposing abuse of power. Hard to ignore. Feels like this one won’t fade quietly.
u type in a very distinctive pattern, we can tell it’s u fam
In for the drama.
Email me than!
whats email
Can’t be Hellman and Friedman since the kid has confirmed all of his emails bounced today to people there. So you are either at KKR or Carlyle.
You cannot come back from this. Especially when 3000+ were bcced.
can someone please explain what happened?
The CVP kid exposed some MFPE associates for being corrupt while doing stints at Goldman and Evercore. NGL its juicy since there is receipts of things as well.
what does this mean? to who? And why?
what's going on?
The most elite black finance professionals have been exposed as bullies.
Have not seen the emails but sounds like the guy is going after the founders of BlackGen, would be wild if true
You can MS all day.That wont erase the fact you are a meme now.
Can someone please give me tdlr. This sounds interesting.
Bro, this kid cooked him: working 80-100 hours at Evercore and still finding time to destroy a college student’s life.' 😂😂 You can’t recover from that.
Yikes. Someone I’d like not to be around. Bullying Georgetown students while working 80-100 hours. This dude can do it all.
But the invisible hand realizes his name is on everything too right? And the first email is entirely unintelligible? I’m probably part of the problem.
Dont think it matters to him as much. He doenst seem to care.
Just say a barely plausible story about being hacked.
Who’s got the emails?
This thread doesn’t make any sense it just sounds like the Georgetown kid talking to himself across four different accounts about some bullshit
Yeah I think so man
Good joke. And key word you “think”. You cannot prove shit so stay gossiping boomer.
Nice try Diddy.
"Not Enough DEI or Minority Deaths" - WSO anon
Cant say something that like and hide behind a anon name. Go ahead show yourself, dont be scared!
Read from London. Seems those MFPE associates sure have a lot of free time to abuse power. One thing to remember, this isn’t gossip. There are receipts to back up every claim.
Their days are numbered
Is there a summary of this anywhere 😂.
This chain of Chinese whispers is so large, it’s become the Chinese wall. Something the FCA no longer deems ‘appropriate’ in the workplace.
Can someone share the email please?
Sent
Was expecting some juicy deal-related drama and this looks like some weird college bullshit lol.
anyone have a rundown on this?
Who the fuck cares? This is nonsense
The kid made a valid point. Why is someone who is a finance professional working 80-100 hours involved with college drama. The fact many people cannot see the problem with an evercore and Apollo associate abusing power to ruin college students life is ridiculous.
There's no one posting in this that makes any sense. Kid is probably on a coke bender with 10 different accounts responding to himself.
Lol the “kid” is the same nutcase from georgetown that was all over WSO when he didn’t get an RBC return offer and had his CVP offer rescinded when they found out how crazy he acted at rbc. He’s been sending ridiculous emails to half the street and cc’ing McDonough bizschool professors for a while now so nearly every firm knows he’s a lunatic. Not the best look for Georgetown alum unfortunately
Reading through this thread, it’s obvious that most people would rather protect the image than confront the ugly truth: these Apollo and Warburg associates committed unethical actions. Instead of addressing the receipts, the focus shifts to smearing the messenger calling him mentally unstable and falsely claiming he lost Centerview (which isn’t true). The repeated assumption that every account is his without proof (IP addresses, anyone?) speaks volumes. Unfortunately, it reveals where most people here truly stand: on the side of protecting power, not seeking truth.
Please go back on your meds
The truth hurts it seems for you frodo
Can somebody summarize what actually happened or post snips of the emails?
Why can't you post a snip here?
Read the emails and it took a little bit of digging into the evidence the kid compiled but here is what someone compiled and is backed by the evidence the kid brings.
After the kid completed his RBC internship before the meeting even started, he received a text saying they wanted him removed from BlackGen. The meeting was framed as a “discussion,” but the decision to remove him had already been made.
During the meeting, they kept referring to vague policies—nothing about WSO, no clear explanation—just random, unclear reasons to justify their actions. Adejoke, the person leading the meeting, even texted the kid earlier that summer saying how wrong he felt the kid had been treated. Despite knowing that, they still pushed for removal without giving him a chance to explain his side.
It wasn’t until after they removed him that the real reasons surfaced. They believed rumors—that he got fired from RBC and lost his Centerview offer—but none of this was brought up during the actual meeting. Instead, they leaned on vague rules to hide their true intentions.
Only after the Georgetown board members protested, saying “You never even heard his side of the story,” did they offer to listen—but by then, the damage was done. Who was a second-year analyst at Evercore at the time, only made time to hear his story after the fact. That shows a serious lapse in character and leadership.
Fast forward to last semester: sent cease-and-desist letters and threatened legal action, demanding the Georgetown chapter be shut down entirely and erased. He was doing this while working full-time as an associate at Apollo—a calculated move to silence people and make the problem disappear.
lmao so this tantrum is all due to getting kicked out of a finance club? god the shitposts on this site have really fell off
Sounds based af. Have always wondered why full Africans tend to be more professional than the African american variants. Any studies on this?
Can we get a copy/paste
of emails
Someone post snips
It’s the same Anon user posting things lol
That’s why you’ll always be an overworked W2 employee. No matter how many hours you grind, the same biweekly paycheck keeps showing up
Reach out to the email for drive link but here is what a source has complied

Does anyone actually know what happened during his RBC internship? So confused
No one really knows thats the thing. People only got hearsay. They go off what this website says. Shows you how smart finance professionals are.
We schitzoposting on wso now?
I mean if you want to say exposing people hiding behind fancy titles and abusing power to silence or maintain an image over the truth.
Take a second and think about how this thread looks to the 99% of people who have no clue what you are yapping about. Schitzoposting.
You can tell this because of the bolding phrases. Same bolding phrases from his schizo emails. You need help bro; or just focus on ur business like u claim to do.
Just to confirm what we're all fussed about here since this thread has zero information: a DEI MF PE associate abused his 'power' as a DEI hire when he was an analyst in banking....?
From what I gather, this is the gist of it. Founder of a school club (who graduated 2 years ago) decided to bully a student of said club unjustly. Sounds like the equivalent of a college student strongarming a high school club he was in. I wonder if the student ended up having serious reputational risk or somehow denied a job opportunity. It wasn't explained why he went scorched earth.
As a black man, I'm ashamed this is happening. We tear each other down all the time. Drake and Kendrick. Africans and American blacks. Why can't we lift each other up and all win?
Champ - none of that is true. Personally know individuals at Georgetown and the kid that’s making these claims is well known on campus to be an absolute psychopath. He’s been kicked out of the school for cheating, lost his internship, etc. and is now taking it out on a random pe asso. Half of the posts in this thread are his own spam accounts. He’s mentally off his rocker. What could’ve been funny lore is unfortunately mid-IQ bait.
Read the RBC/CVP Gtown thread, trust me his reputation was not ruined by some random black club founder, that thread was enough damage in itself.
Meh, i dont know about calling this one a DEI hire. Fits the MFPE bill To be honest. Ivy (Albeit Low) -> National Finance Club Founder -> Top BB SA -> Top HF SA -> Top EB Analyst Stint. Lets not dilute the meaning of DEI hires - at that point you are just contributing to the woke agenda of us being racists.
.
changing stuff now eh. Mad lame. Facts>Gossip. These spaces run on gossip and illusions. The fact everyone wants to belive a kid lost his offer to centerview they will. That is the narrative. When there is evidence proving other wise. Jesus these elite spaces are fucked. No one has any critical thinking skills. They just believe whatever someone says because of the prestigious credentials and never vet them.
Get a life, kid.

You are clearly ss. Stop trying to ruin someone’s life. Grow up you lost CVP and you are a bum you got expelled from Georgetown too
.
Reached out to the burner email before the comment got taken down and got the receipts, so I can provide a brief summary. Emails don’t actually show anything substantive to back up OP’s claims, just a bunch of back and forth.
(1) OP is definitely the Georgetown RBC / CVP guy who was infamous on WSO a few months ago
(2) Sometime around summer 2023, OP got kicked out of BlackGen Capital and had a hearing with the founders.
(3) Late January OP apparently got caught in an academic dishonesty case at Georgetown. After a hearing / appeal with the dean or something like that, his defense was denied.
I’m guessing that OP started spiraling after the events of (3) and decided to lash out at the BlackGen founders and Georgetown faculty with this thread.
This definitively dint mean shit on an anonymous website. You are jumping to conclusions not facts
Anything about his startup? Is that real?
He’s hiding out in Singapore last I heard
He is a fraud! I close to one of his best friends and he told me his grand master plan but in reality I think he’s just schizophrenic. He told me he was going to do this and is a believer that he has extreme power because Gtown faculty just began to ignore therefore claiming that they surrendered.
He should be institutionalized. If you see this, as I know you will, I ask you to stop before I expose you for everything and all the shady sh*t you do both legal and illegal. I am a Gtown student and have access to his paper which he submitted, am willing to post here and let the audience see the utter dishonesty he submitted which got us here in the first place.
STOP TRYING TO RUIN PEOPLE
You cannot prove it was ai generated. stop smearing.
Is he expelled? Last I heard he got in trouble with the academic board for using AI on a paper..
Post
Read through all the pages of comments to learn that this is his*notes* a fucking diversity finance club? OP getting kicked out of this STUDENT RUN CLUB did not “ruin your life”. *YOU* ruined your life by being a fucking spazz. Jeez at least when the GS13 drama came out it was about something interesting, the kids nowadays are bitching about unfair treatment by alumni from student clubs now?? Lmao this has no impact or reflection on Apollo/Warburg. I hope OP finds peace
Wtf, this is gibberish. Someone got kicked out of the Barbi Club House? And it had something to do with Apollo and Warburg founders? Huh?
Seems like it was a DEI Mojo Dojo Casa House.
After wasting 10 minutes of my life reading this post, the wise words from Billy Madison entered my mind... "OP, What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone [on WSO] is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
Good luck, Sir.
DEI initiatives that removed this schizo guy are to blame for the schizo guy's existence?
You mad bro?
Ngl I was expecting something more juicy…
like literally wasted 10minutes for what??
got really excited that this was going to be something about apollo / warburg doing sketchy stuff related to deals or something when i saw the post on the wso instagram - this thread was a huge and extremely weird
just when I thought there was some real drama
Legit worst kind of clickbait
I read the emails and I literally had no idea what was going on it was so incoherent.
Tell me more, this is a big WTF moment
this guy has been schizoposting all over X and Linkedin bro please get some professional help
Under his name? I thought he closed down his account. Where can I read this lol
his @ is 1nvisibl3hand on x. he got banned of linkedin apparently but i was connected w him and his first like 50 tweets were on his linkedin
well if this finance thing doesnt work out - maybe he can get a job at the DOGE
This is one of the greatest crashouts of all time

Yeah for real shit is ridiculous
