CME CEO Says Wife’s Carjacking Highlights ‘Insane’ Chicago Crime – Bloomberg

“Three o’clock in the afternoon, my wife got carjacked right in the city of Chicago and it’s absolutely insane what’s going on here,” Terry Duffy said. “Ninety percent of the carjackings in Chicago are done by juveniles. So the juveniles go in and they come right back out literally an hour later." Duffy said fears over crime are preventing employees from returning to the workplace, a situation that he blames for holding back the city’s recovery from the pandemic.

Ken Griffen solved the problem. He and thousands of his high paid employees are now living the good life in sunny Florida. The CME can move anywhere as it is now mostly online trading.

Duffy’s car was insured, of course, so what’s the big deal? He probably has seven cars, he’s a rich guy. And its just a gun in your wife’s face. All she has to do is just give them the car. Even better, take the bus like everyone else instead. It’s like the tamale cart vendors being robbed of their cash. They should stop using cash for transactions. Problem solved!

That’s the price you pay for living in and doing business within Chicago.
