Executives at white collar crime syndicate Citadel Securities, founded by billionaire right wing donor Ken Griffin, is under federal criminal investigation for some market manipulation scam during the early 2021 Reddit day trader GameStop/AMC theaters stock revolt against short sellers, reports finance blogger Frank Nez. While this Nez fellow seems a bit hyperbolic and sensational like stereotypical “underground” blogger of yore, his article includes a clip of a Bloomberg TV anchor reporting there is indeed an active Department of Justice investigation into Citadel.
Last year Griffin invested heavily in right wing lifestyle brand DeSantis Inc to market the “Regeneron” COVID-19 treatment to the key unvaxed and infected with Delta demographic in Florida. Overall he’s personally spent over $107 million backing a wide portfolio of GOP ventures in the industry since 2009, seeing huge ROIs that contributed greatly to his personal wealth.
