Ken Griffin is a hedge fund manager and he is thinking of getting his company out of Chicago<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Billionaire Ken Griffin, founder and CEO of the hedge fund Citadel, hinted Monday that he might move his company\u2019s headquarters from Chicago, saying the crime makes the city more akin to a war-torn country.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s becoming ever more difficult to have this as our global headquarters, a city which has so much violence,\u201d Griffin said. \u201cI mean Chicago is like Afghanistan, on a good day, and that\u2019s a problem.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Griffin said he personally saw \u201c25 bullet shots in the glass window of the retail space\u201d in the building he lives in, adding that someone \u201ctried to carjack the security detail\u201d that sits outside his house.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

My favorite quotes,<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just tells you like how deep crime runs in this city,\u201d Griffin said. \u201cThere is nowhere, where you can feel safe today walking home at 9:30 at night and you worry about your kids coming to and from school.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u201cThat\u2019s no way for our city to exist,\u201d Griffin said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The perception of crime has started making it difficult to recruit talent to Citadel\u2019s Chicago campus, he said, and he can\u2019t in good faith tell people the city is a good place to raise a family anymore.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Griffin didn\u2019t say where he might consider moving his global headquarters to, but he was asked if New York City could serve as an \u201cantidote to the dysfunction\u201d of Chicago.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cYou guys need some new medicine, too, because some of the same problems that we have faced is now unfolding in New York,\u201d Griffin said. \u201cThe path New York is on is a scary path.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s about time that these cloud people got their heads wrapped around what they’ve signed on for.\u00a0 What did they think would happen when they bent the knee to BLM and allowed the police to be vilified?\u00a0 Maybe if it were their children being terrified at school and their businesses being burned out they might not be so matter of fact about unleashing antifa on us.\u00a0 Too bad a few of those bullets didn’t come a little closer to his face.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
