What religion is Ken Griffin??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.98.153.59 ( talk) 12:36, 3 September 2014 (UTC)
Hi editors, there's a noticeable error in the introductory section on this page. The infobox reads that Griffin's net worth is $5.5 billion, while the first paragraph states $5.3 billion. It looks like the infobox was updated more recently, so I will reflect this change in text. Looking over the mentions of net worth, there are multiple inconsistencies. Frankly, the section is unreadable in its current state and jumps around instead of working chronologically. I think this section should be reworked as it shows Griffin's net worth and compensation at random points and not consistently. I will address the above change and look for editor feedback on cleaning up the "Net worth" subsection. Thanks for reading. Rog-Brackey18 ( talk) 12:37, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
Where is the reference to the time that Ken Griffin lied under oath? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.86.24.86 ( talk) 18:55, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
Currently there is a significant section on art purchases under the Philanthropy section. I think this should be moved elsewhere, perhaps to Personal Life, as it is not philanthropic.
Additionally, the total philanthropic giving mentioned in this article is around 7% of his net worth, and largely went to institutions like Harvard and art museums. Because the percentage he donates is little above that on average donated by households with an income below $20 000 (around 5% of income), and because the institutions are more aligned with Griffin's interests than with what could measurably be called a 'good cause', I think it is worth considering the removal of philanthropist from the description at the top of his article.

Griffin cemented his evolution from a Reagan Republican to a Trump Republican by donating $1 million to pro-Trump super PAC, Future45was omitted, as it states a point of view in Wikipedia's voice — namely — the point of view that donating money to Future45 indicates a person is "cementing an evolution" towards some sort of Trump Republicanism.

I work for Rubenstein. On behalf of Citadel and Ken Griffin, I would like to request revisions to the last paragraph in the Career section, which currently states:
Citadel LLC (an investment firm) and Citadel Securities (a market maker) are separate businesses, as referenced in these articles from Bloomberg [8] and WSJ [9]. It is factually inaccurate to refer to them as “the same entity.” In addition, neither of the citations used on the existing page for this section use the term “conflict of interest.” Finally, this paragraph addresses speculative criticism on social media, which was refuted by Robinhood in a blog post and public statements [10] and in an affidavit filed February 10th, 2021. [11] The blog post notes, “To be clear, this was a risk-management decision, and was not made on direction of the market makers we route to." [12]
It would be more accurate and in line with the existing supporting citations to state:

...with Citadel Securities handling more than a quarter of all U.S. equity volume in the first half of the year. The trading operation, which is separate from Griffin's hedge fund business...
Citadel Securities says it's separately managed from the hedge-fund side of Mr. Griffin's business.
"It was not because we wanted to stop people from buying these stocks," Robinhood said in a blog post on Friday night. Rather, the start-up said, it restricted buying in volatile stocks so that it could "comfortably" meet deposit requirements imposed by its clearinghouses, which it noted had increased tenfold during the week.
Robinhood said yesterday: "To be clear, this was a risk-management decision, and not made on direction of market makers we route to."
There were also statements after-hours on Thursday from market-making groups which process trades and were criticised on social media, including from Citadel Securities, the trading company owned by Ken Griffin, which pays Robinhood for orders. Citadel Securities said it had "not instructed or otherwise caused any brokerage firm to stop, suspend, or limit trading or otherwise refuse to do business".
I've undone the edit by Trader John1 that amounted to whitewashing, as it removed multiple critical sections. --- Possibly ( talk) 10:16, 19 May 2021 (UTC)
@ Possibly: Please rollback to the version before Trader John started making edits. He clearly is WP:COI. The images he added are not in the public domain and he removed a lot of DUE content. Bvcqszj ( talk) 13:59, 19 May 2021 (UTC)

The article should reflect the past tense eg: Kenneth C. Griffin was etc. To my knowledge, although I am not an experienced Wikipedia editor by any means, the semi-protected status only applies to living persons and does not extend protections to the deceased. I believe this should be fixed. If my current level of knowledge is incorrect please let me know. TheSussedOne ( talk) 03:32, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
