Multibillionaire Ken Griffin filed a lawsuit against the IRS Tuesday alleging the agency violated his right to privacy after investigative journalism outlet ProPublica reported in April on the tax records of the Republican megadonor and former Chicagoan. Griffin’s income and taxes were reported by ProPublica alongside similar information for hundreds of America’s wealthiest people. The outlet has said it does not know who shared the tax information with them and did not solicit the documents it received.Griffin, who founded the hedge fund Citadel, demanded a jury trial in his lawsuit.
“The IRS is and has for some time been well aware of these issues,” Griffin’s court filing said. “Despite these warnings, however, the IRS continues to willfully and intentionally fail to establish adequate safeguards to protect Mr. Griffin and other taxpayers’ confidential tax return information.”Griffin called for the IRS to pay for his legal fees, $1,000 for each unauthorized disclosure as according to law and an unspecified amount for damages.
