re: #259 The Vicious Babushka

How do you know what he’s saying to the bankers? Maybe he is telling them to create more opportunities in the finance industry for women, minorities, and disadvantaged. (Which BTW is what Hillary allegedly talked about when she spoke at Goldman Sachs)

He’s speaking at Cantor Fitzgerald’s healthcare conference.

Cantor Fitzgerald, you know, the company everybody felt such compassion for after 9/11, and a company that puts at least some of its money where its mouth is.

The Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund provided $10 million to families affected by Hurricane Sandy. Howard Lutnick and the Relief Fund “adopted” 19 elementary schools in impacted areas, distributing $1,000 prepaid debit cards to each family from the schools. In total $10 million in funds were given to families affected by the storm.

Two days after the 2013 Moore tornado struck Moore, Oklahoma, killing 24 people and injuring hundreds, Howard Lutnick pledged to donate $2 million to families affected by the tornado. The donation was given out in the form of $1,000 debit cards given out to area families.

Each year, on September 11, Cantor Fitzgerald and its affiliate BGC Partners donate 100% of their revenue to charitable causes on their annual Charity Day which was originally established to raise money to assist the families of Cantor employees who died in the World Trade Center attacks. Since its inception, Charity Day has raised $110 million for charities globally.

I guess he should only speak at future unicorn and pony conventions.
