You wish Brett Favre had thrown his reputation down the drain on a stupid ponzi scheme, rather than stealing taxpayer money to fund a Group of Five volleyball center

Didn't hear about this what'd the AHole do?

Ken Griffin, a hedge fund manager worth almost $29 billion, has already moved himself and his family to Florida. And recently, he released a memo to employees that his $22 billion firm, Citadel Securities, would also move its headquarters there.

While the trend of companies moving from high-tax states like California, Illinois, and New York to lower-tax, business-friendly states like Texas and Florida is nothing new, one factor in the decision is potentially concerning for the future of Chicago's business climate.

Citadel officials cited crime as one critical reason for the move. According to a report, over the last few years, there have been multiple incidents involving Citadel employees. Ken Griffin himself experienced an attempted carjacking, a Citadel employee was stabbed while walking to work, and there have been numerous reports of shootings, riots, and looting near some employees' homes.

Ken Griffin has been outspoken about how crime has affected his employees. In a recent interview, he said, “if people aren't safe here, they're not going to live here. I've had multiple colleagues mugged at gunpoint. I've had a colleague stabbed on the way to work, countless issues of burglary. I mean, that's a really difficult backdrop with which to draw talent to your city from.”

Ken Griffin is a good man. We had the pleasure of meeting him at a dinner in support of the previous governor, Bruce Rauner.

Speaking of... he also sold his Chicago homes and moved to Florida. Mostly a philanthropist now, and we're glad he's here.

That City and the State it's in has a very bleak future. Rauner was its last chance.

On Griffin...

There is a very worthy cause going on in Chicago right now call Project Hood. Look it up when you find time. We recently contributed to it, but not like Mr. Griffin.

We gave $1000.00. He gave $5 MILLION.

No doubt the picture on the left is altered, but still…

Saw a blurb on the national news this morning about the immigrants being bussed to Chicago, DC, and other non-traditional immigrant states. You want sanctuary cities, you got it.

Cry me a River.

Nah. His home is about 20 feet above sea level, and he's behind a barrier island too. Should be fine.
