There they go, Zo! Hedge fund titan Ken Griffin revealed this week he’s scaling back jobs in the Big Apple as a “direct consequence” of Zohran Mamdani’s “tax the rich” antics — stoking fears that the well-to-do are starting to flee the socialist mayor and taking their cash with them. Mamdani poked the bearish billionaire in a recent social media video that used Griffin’s record-breaking $238 million Midtown penthouse as a backdrop to drum up support for a proposed tax on luxury second homes in the city. An appalled Griffin first threatened to scrap a $6 billion Park Avenue development for his Citadel hedge fund, then told CNBC on Tuesday that the “creepy” video spurred him to expand his firm’s hub in Florida.
