Ken Griffin, the Chicago billionaire who runs hedge fund giant Citadel and owns the enormous market-making firm Citadel Securities, says he’s "all-in" to back a candidate to try and defeat fellow billionaire and Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker of Illinois.

"I’m going to make sure that if he runs again, that I am all-in to support the candidate who will beat him," Griffin said Wednesday during comments he made at the DealBook Online Summit hosted by The New York Times. "He doesn’t deserve to be the governor of our state."

Donut boy has a 15 point lead over generic R candidate right now. Tall task.

Too bad we don’t have a Republican Party in Illinois.

Kenny griffin it’s the man behind naked shorting AMC and GME stocks. He is worse than evil.

[Maine Mariner]

Yes but he gave something like 125 million dollars to the economics department at the University of Chicago!

With all the anti Pritzker signs I see, I find that hard to believe.

Citadel is despised by millions of young men who bought everythuing from Gamestop to AMC to Dogecoin.

“Kenny griffin it’s the man behind naked shorting AMC and GME stocks. He is worse than evil.”

Where did he do this? It is illegal in our country but not in many others. The same goes for insider trading. Illegal here but perfectly legal in most of the world as it should be.

Please be rational.

As long as the polls, as crooked as they are, have the "D" leading by an amount this high, the "R" doesn't have a chance.

Especially in a state where all of the state politics are controlled by the "D"s.

Unless, and until, the polls get close to even, the "D"s know they can cheat their way in.

He could be encouraging more primary challenges as well.

Party affiliation not written.

*back a candidate to try and defeat fellow billionaire and Democratic Gov. J.B. Pritzker of Illinois.* Makes me think he’s a democrat.

All GOP contenders are lightweights and he’s 53 years YOUNG. Do you really think he has anyone but himself in mind? Anyone with a $21 billion net worth really needs something to do. Just look at Pritkin. Trump even.

53 years young. Just what do you think he has in mind 10 years down the road-even sooner? He gave big bucks to everyone, mostly Republicans. Doesn’t like Trump. Suburban housewives. Think Youngkin-get it? Here’s to him catching lightning in a bottle when the’22 wave election arrives. Hedge fund means he’s in bed with the Chicoms but if he want’s to blow his money on an otherwise lost election we should run with him. Just don’t ask for money.

Not just shorting but naked shorting, using dark pools and ETFs to hide their shorts. Illegal and SEC turns a blind eye to it. Do some research on this evil man.

[billyboy15]

L read the post and know what naked shorting is. My question was where did it take place. It may be illegal here but it is not illegal in other parts of the world just as insider trading is illegal here but not elsewhere.

[aynrandfreak]

That makes sense.
