Michael LebowitzGUEST
They blew up, but on the other side, there was...
Michael LebowitzGUEST
Who bought it all? Citadel? Citadel bought all their securities at a discount.
Michael LebowitzGUEST
My guess is that there were hedge funds... that knew that there were hedge funds offsides and were purposely shorting or selling or pushing some of those stocks down.
Michael LebowitzGUEST
And it kind of created more of an avalanche than just one firm relenting.
Bobby CapucciHOST
Let's introduce Minority Exhibit D. Bates number EFTA A-0239-5303.
Bobby CapucciHOST
This is a June 2016 email exchange between you and Mr. Epstein regarding a possible opportunity for you with a hedge fund called Citadel.
Bobby CapucciHOST
In this exchange, Mr. Epstein suggested that Citadel CEO Ken Griffin, quote, might just be interested in a woman.
Bobby CapucciHOST
You responded, quote, Oh, Jesus, meaning you're going to trade one of your Russians for my comp, end quote.
Bobby CapucciHOST
What did you mean by, quote, one of your Russians? Answer, I think I'm looking at a different email exchange.
Bobby CapucciHOST
"'Do you mind if she reads the entire chain?' Question, absolutely.
Bobby CapucciHOST
Rumler, okay.
Bobby CapucciHOST
The context of this is that I received outreach from the soon-to-be retiring chief legal officer of Citadel about whether I'd be willing to take a meeting about potentially accepting that job.
Jason YanowitzHOST
And you had stock perps coming on chain.
Jason YanowitzHOST
You had Citadel introducing this lawsuit.
Jason YanowitzHOST
You had...
Jason YanowitzHOST
Obviously, last week or two weeks ago, you had ICE investing in TradeXYZ, which we already talked about.
Drew Van der WerffGUEST
And so if you boil it down to that, then you layer it on top, there is definitely a human capital aspect to this.
Drew Van der WerffGUEST
So just using names here, don't know if Citadel actually did try to build blocks, but if Citadel sat down with its high-frequency trading team or sophisticated traders and they tried to block build, there are similarities in the type of networking, the fibers, the nuances of moving data packets around the globe very quickly.
Drew Van der WerffGUEST
But there's an additional layer of not only driven by the market structure nuances of Ethereum itself, but also just the nuances of blockchains that require a certain history and degree of knowledge that you have to layer on top of these traditional finance high frequency type stuff.
Drew Van der WerffGUEST
And so that is another big part of it that people probably underestimate quite a bit on.
Frank ChaparroHOST
think
Simran SinghGUEST
one of the things that I always loved about DeFi is, candidly, I think the centralized exchange market-making business has become so commoditized that when people hear the name Citadel or Jump or Tower, they immediately are like, oh, fuck, like any amount of margin that we would have captured has eroded, right? And all these big players that I just mentioned also now have digital asset arms.
Simran SinghGUEST
And so where I think the last vestige of idiosyncratic margin lies or the relative competitive advantage lies for crypto native market makers is really more and more of these things on chain where each chain might have its own mechanism for reaching consensus or it might have other unique idiosyncrasies around precompiled transaction times, you know, privacy versus not privacy.
Simran SinghGUEST
And so all of these things, I think, are much more unique.
6 MINS LATER
Frank ChaparroHOST
But this woman was so long ago.
Frank ChaparroHOST
So I think I can say where she worked.
Frank ChaparroHOST
She was at Citadel.
Frank ChaparroHOST
And I was like, I was kind of pretending like I didn't know what was going on.
Rohan GuptaHOST
know you go to secondary cities on a global scale
David N. FongHOST
So billionaire Ken Griffin, we talked a lot about Citadel and his investments in Miami.
David N. FongHOST
Recently, you know, there was a question whether he would continue forward with 350 Park Avenue, which was a big building that's being developed in Manhattan.
David N. FongHOST
But they announced this weekend that Griffin, Fernando Realty, and Rudin Family, which is a big New York family, have secured a $3.3 billion construction loan led by a syndicate of banks from Wells Fargo and J.P. Morgan.
David N. FongHOST
And this building, Griffin will own a 60% stake.
David N. FongHOST
We're out of 36% and rooted 4%.
David N. FongHOST
And Citadel, Griffin's hedge fund, Citadel Securities, will lease 1.05 million square feet of the entire building.
David N. FongHOST
We have a 1.9 million square foot building.
Chris PerkinsHOST
So I'm surprised.
Ram AhluwaliaHOST
Did Citadel, sorry, where did Citadel net out
Chris PerkinsHOST
on this? I think Citadel is pushing back against it.
Chris PerkinsHOST
They were, but I haven't heard much from them recently.
Chris PerkinsHOST
I could have missed it, but I do think that they came out against it in my own conversations with them.
Wren WoodsonHOST
And same with Ken Griffin.
Wren WoodsonHOST
He's the CEO of the huge hedge fund Citadel.
Wren WoodsonHOST
And he gave $10 million to Super PAC supporting the Republican gubernatorial candidate in Florida, Byron Donald.
Wren WoodsonHOST
Because one of Griffin's big things is he wants charter schools, school choice.
Ken GriffinGUEST
We will do better when our friends and allies succeed.
Christiane AmanpourHOST
Citadel CEO Ken Griffin speaks to Walter Isaacson about the US-Canada relationship, the future of AI, and why he gifted a record-breaking $3 billion to the Carnegie Mellon University.
Christiane AmanpourHOST
Welcome to the program, everyone.
Christiane AmanpourHOST
I'm Christiane Amanpour in London.
Kevin SlatenHOST
And let's use Ken Griffin, for instance.
Kevin SlatenHOST
He's the CEO of the Citadel Corporation.
Ken GriffinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You cannot imagine how painful it was each and every day under the Biden administration to look at what new crazy proposal was being put into place to solve a problem that didn't even exist.
Ken GriffinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I mean, our constant friction at Citadel with the government was across umpteen different aspects of our business was exhausting.
Ken GriffinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And to have that literally end on one day, election day, just gives you so much energy as an offshore to go back and build your damn business.
Ken GriffinSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So the biggest sea change I've seen across American executives has been just like the giant sigh of relief.
