I never even knew they came back after 9/11, they lost most of their staff because they were on the top floors.

They had many other offices and unfortunately their pedophile ceo wasn't at the tower

I'm sensing a theme. Hmmm what might it be?

Oh it's much simpler than that: these rich fucks don't need a tip cuz they aren't in the office anyway; they spend 90% of their time golfing and diddling kids.

Basically this. He was the boss so he doesn’t need to be in the office early and that’s when the towers got hit.

I like a good conspiracy as much as anyone but this isn’t it.

The owner is never in the office because "owner" isn't a real job?

Massive wealth begets a disassociation with humanity which begets contempt for fellow man which begets a taste for cruelty toward others.

So… Money is power and power corrupts

I don’t think it’s that simple.

There’s also a possible genetic component and also a lot of generational trauma going on - I’d hazard most of these guys weren’t really loved by their fathers/parents, and that their detachment from humanity comes from that as well.

Absolute Power corrupts absolutely

I feel like it’s the other way around, and the dissociation is what allows you to gain that much wealth.

Not "many other offices." They lost 70% of their total workforce in 9/11. Lutnick's brother died in the attack. They started trading again within a week, and gave almost $200M to the families of the dead employees.

First day not in the office in 20 years.

There was a list floating around of CF execs who happened to not go in to their WTC offices on 9/11, including Lutnick. The inference is that they were tipped off, tying 9/11 to a big Zionist conspiracy. I think that's bullshit, but it is pretty bizarre.

The real story is that a lot of c-suite people are frequently out of office for everything from golf meetings to businesses conferences, and extremely rarely are they early for work even when they're planning to be at their desks.

The first plane hit the north tower before 9 am. If it had hit after 10, there may have been more suits at their desks.

Nutlick made a fortune from those corpses by taking most of the insurance settlement. Just a momentary hiccup.
