Griffin says Mamdani's wealth-tax campaign video endangered him

Billionaire Ken Griffin says NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani's video portraying him as a poster child for taxing the rich — including showing where he lives — put him in harm's way, citing the murder of a CEO to argue risk to investors as he weighs a reported $6 billion NYC project. Mamdani did not publicly address the safety claim, while a mayoral spokesperson defended tax reform that includes the wealthy and pledged to help business growth; Griffin's project future remains undetermined.
