shares of GameStop higher and squeeze the hedge funds shorting the stock.More broadly, Griffin — worth an estimated $35 billion, according to Forbes — was concerned last month that the movie “revives and amplifies this many times debunked collusion narrative” that Citadel and Robinhood worked together to briefly halt trading of GameStop shares, Griffin’s lawyers wrote.At issue: a scene that depicted Griffin speaking with Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev after trading was halted on the Robinhood platform.In response, sources close to the “Dumb Money” producers – whose movie starring Seth Rogen, Pete Davison, Paul Dano and Shailene Woodley is slated to hit theaters Friday — note that Griffin’s lawyers last month appeared to be working off a script that was more than a year old.

In 2022, the suburb was home to Miami’s priciest residential real estate transaction when entrepreneur and Citadel CEO Ken Griffin paid $106 million for two mansions on a combined lot with expansive bayfront frontage and unobstructed views. Jill Hertzberg of the Jills Zeder Group at Coldwell Banker Realty, who represented Griffin, describes the 4-acre estate as akin to a Picasso and “priceless.”  The pandemic accelerated the Grove’s popularity, attracting transplants from New York, Chicago (such as Griffin) and California due to its proximity to all things great about Miami — including well-regarded private schools, a relatively quick drive to downtown, sophisticated dining, bayside parks and the revitalized Dinner Key pleasure boat marina. According to One Sotheby’s Intl. Realty’s February Florida East Coast Market Report, median single-family-home prices in Coconut Grove were up 43.5% year-over-year.
