The Supreme Court decision striking down Donald Trump's many tariffs may prove to be a windfall for the family of Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, a key architect of Trump's signature economic policy.
In July, Wired reported that Cantor Fitzgerald, which Lutnick chaired until he was appointed to Trump's Cabinet, was allowing its traders to purchase the rights to hundreds of millions of dollars of refunds in the event the tariffs were struck down in court. The firm now happens to be headed by Lutnick's sons Kyle and Brandon.
