Howard Lutnick, the famously sharp-elbowed chief of Wall Street trading firm Cantor Fitzgerald LP, has gotten sideways with the one person who may pose the greatest threat to him: his now-former personal assistant.
Taylor Shaw, who worked as an aide to Lutnick, left the firm earlier this month after just 15 weeks in the job. Since her departure, she has refused to return two company laptops that were issued to her to manage the business and personal affairs of Lutnick, his wife and their children, according to a lawsuit filed Monday by Cantor Fitzgerald in New York state court.
