Executives at Societe Generale, Trust Company of the West's (TCW [see profile]) parent, talked about ousting TCW chief investment officer Jeff Gundlach six months in advance.

Pensions & Investments' Randy Diamond reported on yesterday's testimony in the trial.

The revelations came out thanks to e-mails displayed in court yesterday. SocGen's Jean-Pierre Mustier wrote on June 13, 2009 that Gundlach "should be removed". On June 6, Mustier wrote "they're looking at our options to force him out." Yet in testimony read into the record yesterday, SocGen deputy CEO Severin Cabannes said SocGen left the decision of what to do about Gundlach to TCW.
