Bill Ackman

That's story one. Neri admits to plagiarism. She admits to plagiarism. She admitted to making a few clerical errors. That's the only thing she admitted to. And she graciously apologized. So they said, Neri admits to plagiarism, apologizes for plagiarism. That's incredibly damning. And by the way, we're doing an investigation, because we're concerned that there might've been inappropriate process.

But the facts of the story have not been disputed by Neri Oxman or Bill Ackman. And that was totally false. I had done it privately. I had done it publicly on Twitter, on X. I laid out, I have a whole tech stream, a WhatsApp stream with the CEO of the company. And they doubled down and they doubled down again. And so I don't sue people lightly. And stay tuned.

It's a certainty we're moving forward. There's a step we can take prior to suing them where we basically send them a letter demanding they make a series of corrections. That if they don't make those corrections, the next step is litigation. I hope we can avoid the next step. And I'm just making sure that when we present the demand to Business Insider and ultimately to Axel Springer,

No, look, we're going to surface all this stuff publicly, ultimately. The email was not to Nary saying there was plagiarism in her work. The email came from a reporter named Catherine Long. And the headline was, your wife committed plagiarism. Shouldn't she be fired from MIT? Just like you caused Claudine Gay to be fired from Harvard. Yeah. It was a political... Agenda, she doesn't like me.

And if you're going to be an activist short sell you better because they're going to find out dirt on you if it exists. And so they're like, how can we really hurt Bill? By the way, Nary had left MIT years earlier. Yes. When the reporter found out she was no longer a member of the MIT faculty, they were enraged. They didn't believe us.

They made us like, you know, prove to us she's no longer on the MIT faculty because they wanted to get her fired. And by the way, malice is one of the, you know, important factors in determining whether defamation has taken place. And this was a malice driven, this was not about news. And the unfortunate thing about journalism Business Insider made a fortune from this.
