"Griffin stated that after Mamdani filmed a 'tax-the-rich' video outside his penthouse apartment, it made his decision to choose Miami over New York 'unquestionably' the right one."
"He called the video, which he watched three times, 'creepy and weird' on first watch, and said it was 'frightening' after subsequent views, citing extremists targeting politicians and business leaders."
"Griffin mentioned that Citadel was set to redevelop an office building on Park Avenue, but the project's future is 'still a point of discussion' at his firm."
"He told the audience he is doubling down on the city, where he believes state leadership is more supportive of the business and education policies he believes in."
Ken Griffin, founder of Citadel, expressed that being targeted by New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has triggered past trauma from his time in Chicago. After relocating to Miami due to frustrations with Chicago's leadership, Griffin stated that Mamdani's actions confirmed his choice to leave New York. He described a video filmed by Mamdani as 'creepy and weird,' citing concerns over safety for business leaders. Citadel is now focusing on expanding its Miami headquarters while the future of a New York project remains uncertain.
