Harvard professor lobbied SEC on behalf of oil firm that pays her lavishly, emails show
Griffin’s companies held investments in gun and ammunition manufacturers worth more than $139m as of March 2022, according to Chicago NPR affiliate WBEZ. These included shares in US gun manufacturers Smith & Wesson and Sturm Ruger, as well as US ammunition makers Olin Corp, Vista Outdoor and Ammo Inc. As of 31 December 2022, the value of Citadel’s holdings in those five companies had increased to more than $200m, according to a Guardian review of SEC filings.”[/quote]

No doubt you have an opinion about everything.  Yawn.
