Bill Ackman is not backing down. The hedge fund manager, fresh from toppling Harvard’s president, now appears to be readying for the biggest media v billionaire brawl since Peter Thiel waged war on Gawker. An internal review at Business Insider found that its claims of plagiarism about his wife Neri Oxman, a former MIT professor, were “accurate” and “well documented”. Oxman admits to missing some quote marks in her doctoral dissertation but says she credited sources. Ackman responded on X that the couple will “respond in a formal complaint which will take a few weeks to prepare”, later clarifying: “by complaint I mean lawsuit”. Axel Springer declined to comment.
