We don’t call Penrod nimrod for nothing.

Ackman naming names.

Bill Ackman
@BillAckman

It has been the case since as far as I can remember in business and in media that family was off limits, unless of course the family is directly involved in the business.

The code of the road was that you can attack the protagonist as much as you want, but not his wife and not his kids.

The same is true in business dealings. You never go after someone’s family to get at a business person. This is a sacred code that I have never seen violated.

Business Insider broke this sacred code on Thursday and again on Friday when they went after my wife,
@NeriOxman. And they are working on another story about her. They are calling her former students as we speak.

Inspired by the code being broken, a journalist from Bloomberg reached out to my kids on their cell phones this weekend for a story she is working on. The reporter’s name is Kathy Burton. I had respected her until now.

Do we want to live in a world where journalists go after your life partner and your kids?

In that world, one would respond to an attack on one’s wife and family by going after the owner of the media company and his wife and family.

Ask yourself, who would want to advertise on a media property where they go after people’s families?

No one.

Because eventually they will go after your family.

The Editor of the Investigative group of Business Insider who is leading the attack on my wife is John Cook.

He is a known anti-Zionist. My wife is Israeli. That might explain why he was willing to lead this attack and others turned down the source when they were looking for a media outlet.

How would John feel if someone went after his life partner and kids?

How would Joe Bae and Scott Nuttall feel if it was their wives and kids rather than mine?

How would Henry Kravis and George Roberts react to this experience?

How would Mike Bloomberg?

We need to decide what kind of world we want to live in.

I want to know the answer to that question today because it is a really important question, and it affects society at large and our future.

Pressure goups have been going after corporate board member's kids for years. It's sick.

He's used to going toe to toe with Carl. Idiots.

To be fair having been in these sort of fights myself when it’s literally just u on a island against an entire organized cabal all out against u while simultaneously running your own businesses separately with all this shite going on u are forced onto defense out of spite They set the chess board over and over and over again with u always being on defense so it’s just like it’s really hard to flip it. With all their fake news u must play defense by challenging and elaborating in every last detail why they are liars and u are actually actually The righteous on but by playing relentless defense and being too irritating & just good enough to not be check mated to quite u eventually weed out the haters only 1/2 in on u and when their numbers thin out I get your fast break opportunities to just go fricking nuclear winning

Yep. Ackman doesn’t get intimidated, has no problem taking things public, and is a billionaire. They were nuts to go after his family.

Don't be fooled. This guy is still a piece of shite. Right when COVID started he got on TV begging the government to shut down the country. He even got emotional.

He was shorting the market the whole time.

It is generally a poor choice to piss in the cheerios of anyone who has the time and means to be petty. And not just kind of petty, enough time and money to be really really really petty

I was born in a sawmill-company-owned cabin in Alco La in the depths of the depression and raised on a farm out in the woods of Vernon Parish - going barefoot til I started to school.

And even I knew better than that.
