For billionaire Ken Griffin, being targeted by New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani is "triggering the trauma I experienced in Chicago." Griffin, the founder of Citadel and its sister market-making firm, Citadel Securities, ran both companies from Chicago before relocating to Miami following the pandemic due to frustrations with the leadership of the city and the state of Illinois.
Main Idea: Billionaire Ken Griffin said a tax-the-rich video shot outside his New York apartment by Mayor Zohran Mamdani was creepy and made him feel even more sure about keeping Citadel focused on Miami.
Key Points:
The clash may push Citadel to keep shifting jobs, investment, and tax revenue away from New York, which could hurt workers and city services.
The debate could also force voters to weigh fair taxes, business growth, and public safety more closely.
