Kenneth Griffin, chief executive of Citadel Investment Group LLC, and his wife Anne each contributed $250,000 to Karl Rove’s American Crossroads fundraising group, new Federal Election Commission reports show.
Griffin, who runs the $12.5 billion hedge fund based in Chicago, called the U.S. government’s role in the financial system “frightening” at an April 2009 conference. His wife is managing partner of Aragon Global Management LLC, also based in Chicago.
