Billionaires in the Hamptons are hiring armed guards to protect them from protesters
, Lapin reported. The protesters were asking for Gov. Andrew Cuomo to raise taxes on the billionaires in New York State, to help make up for the economic crisis the pandemic has plunged the nation into. Now, Gould reports that Hamptons residents are finding themselves increasingly uneasy after the demonstrations
Charlie McArdle, cofounder of CM Security Consulting, told Gould that his business has seen a massive uptick in interested clients since the protests, as wealthy people look to hire security guards to protect their families and property this Fourth of July weekend. "My clients range from the one-percenters to people who are concerned about the political climate and what's going on today," McArdle told the outlet.
CM Security Consulting is currently servicing 16 residential properties in the Hamptons, almost half of which are billionaire enclaves, according to McArdle. "The calls came in as soon as the shut down started, in March," he told Gould. "People started thinking ahead and added security. They were worried about burglaries as unemployment soared and then they started worrying about protecting their property from protesters.
