Illinois’ richest man moving company to Florida

From The Washington Examiner

Billionaire hedge fund boss Ken Griffin, citing a better corporate environment, is moving his firm Citadel to Florida.

Griffin, the wealthiest resident of Illinois and a top GOP donor, announced the move to Miami in a letter to Citadel staff on Thursday. He said that he has already moved to the Sunshine State and that the hedge fund will begin the process, which is expected to take years, of relocating as well.

“If people aren’t safe here, they’re not going to live here,” he said in an interview. “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.”
