From WSJ so I can't read the article: Laird Landmann and Steve Kane, two of the firm's top bond investors, will leave. TCW Group, the big Los Angeles money manager, is gearing up for another wave of high-profile exits. Laird Landmann, one of the firm's three senior bond investors, will retire from the firm in December.14 hours ago
And Howard Marks & a group left TCW before that (1995; founded Oaktree)). In fact, Howard Marks helped Jeffrey Gundlach a LOT (2009) by providing most of the the initial costs to set up DoubleLine (new fund registrations, new office, some basic payments to 12+ people who also quit with Gundlach) - a check for around $20 million for 20% stake in something that may have gone nowhere. But it all turned out good and Marks became a lot more richer.

Gunlach later formed DoubleLine management that went on successfully.
