April 23 (Reuters) – Ken Griffin’s Citadel has pushed back against ​Zohran Mamdani ‌after the New York Mayor recently filmed a video in front ‌of ​the billionaire ⁠investor’s penthouse, titled “Happy ⁠Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.”

“We understand that ​our hard work and success ⁠will, on ⁠occasion, make us ​targets for political ​rhetoric. But it should not ‌diminish the pride we take in building firms ⁠that will continue to help New York City thrive ⁠for ‌decades ahead,” ⁠Citadel Chief Operating ​Officer ‌Gerald Beeson said ​in an ⁠internal memo seen by Reuters.
