Ken Griffin on the rise of DSA, Paris riots and looting in Chicago I'm not so worried about it. It's a New York, Illinois, Michigan, California bit of a bubble. If you want to see where socialism leads to, look at France last weekend. It's the socialist dream. The country spends 60% of GDP at the government level. BTW Paris looked pretty damn similar to Chicago in 2021-22. It’s a people… (that) are very willing to riot and protest anything. Is that really the future that the US might be looking at? It’s the future. I lived in Chicago. I could look out my window at the Dior store. They were very efficient. We may be more efficient than the French, even at looting.

Totally! The SPV market is scam central. Lots more headlines like this to come. wsj.com/finance/stocks/space…

The Investors Whose SpaceX Shares Vanished Before They Could Cash In

One bought in to an SPV fund touting pre-IPO “exposure” to the rocket company. He was told later the shares were sold before trading began.

I know of 3 such SPVs who are currently in litigation for not holding the underlying shares they claimed in SpaceX. Secret service involved. At sequel we have only invested direct on the cap table. I would never invest with our LPs in someone else’s vehicle unless it was with a GP who is directly on the cap table and I know where they live.

Following the ongoing situation in Iran, I am convening a special Security College on Monday. For regional security and stability, it is of the utmost importance that there is no further escalation through Iran’s unjustified attacks on partners in the region.
