Lime's Gorton Trades Fast, Seeks Car-Free Utopia (Update1)
March 23 (Bloomberg) -- Step off the elevator into Lime Group's offices atop an 11-story brick building in New York's Chinatown into a crowd of more than 60 stone Buddhas and Asian lions, all handpicked by the company's founder, Mark Gorton. To the right, down a staircase, is a metal door that leads to Lime Brokerage LLC, which Gorton says trades stocks faster than any other company on Wall Street -- as many as 6,000 orders a second. At the end of a long hall is LimeWire LLC, maker of the world's most-popular Internet file-sharing software, with 50 million monthly users. The U.S. recording industry says the product is designed for infringing music copyrights -- an accusation Gorton denies -- and is suing for damages of at least $450 million. Gorton himself sits at a corner desk with a group of math geeks writing algorithms for Tower Research Capital LLC, Lime Group's in-house quantitative hedge fund, a firm with $117 million in assets.
Some mobile home residents are still waiting to return
The sun has been out and the floods are gone, but some residents of the Shady Brook mobile home park in the Town of Poughkeepsie still arent sure if they will be able to return home.
Michelle Casiano and her neighbors had little time to pack Monday as floodwaters flowed into the park and the mandatory evacuation was called.
We only had 10 minutes to get out, not enough time to grab much. Everyone has pretty much been in the same clothes since Monday, she said.
Residents of 60 homes were allowed to return Thursday, said Michael Zelie, senior public health sanitarian with the county Department of Health. Those from another 19 units spent Thursday afternoon near the entrance to Old Manchester Road, waiting for permission to return.
As of the late afternoon, the only inhabitants of those 19 units allowed back were those whose homes were red tagged.
