CME CEO Terry Duffy Says Employees Too Scared To Return To Office Due
To Chicago's Crime Surge

The incredible crime fighting skills of Lori Lightfoot have already
driven Ken Griffin out of Chicago, as we noted last year. Now, it
looks like CME Group Inc.'s Terry Duffy could be next.

Duffy had already been outspoken to Chicago's mayor about fighting
crime - and, according to Bloomberg, that was before his wife was
carjacked.

Duffy told the ICE House Podcast this week: “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. 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.”

The CME head grew up on the Southwest side of Chicago, the report
notes, and currently works from a skyscraper downtown. But he says
that crime in the city is inciting fear amongst his employees, who no
longer want to return to the workplace.

He said after challenging Lori Lightfoot on crime, she responded by
saying the homicide rate was falling. “I said, ‘don’t go there. Please
don’t go there.’ One is too many," Duffy responded.

Lightfoot did not make it to a runoff after placing third in the
city's recent election for mayor. That's likely due to the fact that
crime was up 41% last year and has been up 33% since 2019, Bloomberg
reports.

“It was a tough time growing up in Chicago,” Duffy said, lamenting
some optimism that the city could eventually get better and that the
problem is wider spread than just Chicago. “So yes, we we’ve been on
our back foot a few times... But I think we try to move forward and
hopefully we can do it again.”

Others aren't as optimistic. Recall, last year we noted that Citadel's
Griffin said  "Chicago is like Afghanistan, on a good day, and that's
a problem." He also said that he saw "25 bullet shots in the glass
window of the retail space" in the building he lives in.

“It just tells you, like, how deep crime runs in this city. There is
nowhere, where you can feel safe today walking home at 9:30 at night
and you worry about your kids coming to and from school.”

“Chicago will continue to be important to the future of Citadel, as
many of our colleagues have deep ties to Illinois,” Griffin wrote,
before explaining that the ties will not be that deep. “Over the past
year, however, many of our Chicago teams have asked to relocate to
Miami, New York and our other offices around the world," he concluded.
