Ken Griffin Doesn’t Need You, Ken Griffin Doesn’t Need Any Of You!

Yeah, it looks kinda bad that Misha Malyshev, the Citadel trader who was instrumental in two of the firm’s funds gaining 40 percent last year, as opposed to losing nearly 50, has up and peaced, and taken two members of his team with him, but that’s because you’re thinking about it in the completely wrong way. This isn’t a sign of sinking, this is a sign of soaring, and an opportunity for KG to roll up his sleeves and get back into the scrum of things, like he was planning on doing anyway (answering phones, makin’ calls, just getting dirty in general, like the old days). As for where traitor-boy is headed, that’s unclear, though, like they always say, follow the cookie crumbs. (Or just shoot us a line and say definitively.)

      Citadel had a town hall tonight – and among other things, KG actaully gave Dealbreaker a compliment. He is obviouly visiting this site every now and then, and apparently it gives him a good chuckle. So be a little nicer!
