LAS VEGAS — Anthony Scaramucci quickly addressed the burning question in the room at the start of the SALT Conference Wednesday.

“I didn’t expect to be here, to be honest,” Scaramucci — known as “The Mooch” — said to open the conference.

Scaramucci had been poised to take a White House gig earlier this year but that job did not materialize. Nevertheless, The Mooch said he is ready to serve and that he remains loyal to the president.

Attendees arrived at a lunch session expecting to rub shoulders with Doubleline Capital’s Jeffrey Gundlach were instead greeted by his hologram.

Gundlach, who is also known as the “Bond King,” runs Doubleline from Los Angeles and had a scheduling conflict. In true Hollywood fashion, he was beamed up live from an LA studio as his hologram walked around the Las Vegas stage.

Amid a sharp market sell-off Wednesday, Gundlach used his time to criticize passive investing and praise investments overseas.

“Non-US investing is already starting to win. Time to ride that train,” Gundlach said.
