NJ Gov. Christie cancels visit to hedge fund summit in Greenwich

A day after Dannel Malloy addressed the Global Alpha Forum, a hedge fund summit at the Hyatt Regency Greenwich, Malloy’s New Jersey nemesis Chris Christie was scheduled to give the same group an audience this morning.

Christie was a no show at the event, however.

The governor’s office says Christie is attending a private funeral in New Jersey.

Conspiracy theorists, eat your heart out.

A person familiar with the logistics of the hedgie event told Hearst Connecticut Newspapers that Christie’s camp projected a lukewarm vibe about accepting the group’s invitation from the outset, wondering what was in it for the New Jersey Republican.
