TheBadPlaceyahoo news | Big money titans rally to back Bill Ackman against $2M ‘shakedown’ demand by ex-...
Billionaire hedge‑fund manager Bill Ackman says he is being subjected to a $2 million “shakedown” by a former employee who is demanding a severance payment after alleging an unsafe workplace. Ackman explained in a viral X post that he founded his family office, Table, about 15 years ago and placed it in the hands of a trusted friend, allowing it to grow massively in headcount and costs despite its largely administrative role. He described his involvement as mostly hands‑off, conducting only an annual review, and noted that as expenses and turnover ballooned he brought in his Harvard‑educated nephew to turn around operations, which resulted in layoffs affecting roughly a third of the staff.
The dispute centers on an in‑house lawyer, “Ronda,” who rejected a three‑month severance offer and instead demanded two years’ pay for a tenure of just two and a half years. Ronda sent a threatening letter accusing Ackman’s firm of harassment, gender discrimination, and an unsafe work environment, alleging that Ackman’s nephew made inappropriate, gender‑based remarks toward a female employee. Ackman countered that the allegations were “interesting” but unsubstantiated, saying internal reviews showed no evidence of broader problems, that workplace sensitivity training had already been implemented, and that the $2 million demand seemed opportunistic, especially given his daughter’s medical crisis and the firm’s pending IPO.
The post resonated online, prompting a wave of support from high‑profile figures in tech and finance. Bryan Johnson, Chamath Palihapitiya, Joe Lonsdale, Donald Trump Jr., and even former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes publicly urged Ackman to fight the claim, labeling it an extortionate “tax” on wealthy executives. Ackman later noted it was “reassuring that there appears to be a consensus” backing his decision to contest the demand rather than settle, framing the matter as a fight against baseless accusations and a defense of truth.

@lily unless you have a fully setup cleanroom lab and the expensive, calibrated equipment to measure, this is unfeasible.
- Mind you there's a big difference between "detecting compounds in the blood" and "measuring precisely how many ng/l are in the blood stream".
There's a reason besides the two hospitals in my 200k hometown there's only 1 lab that processes blood samples 8/5 with only the hospitals having staff on rotation 24/7 to do any analysis as needed in emergencies.
- For context: It'll be cheaper and easier for you to buy a house and an X-ray scanner as an individual than to even DIY hormone level tests with used & surplus'd machines you'd have to refurbish yourself.
That's why #Theranos was such a well-funded #scam: They promised to do all that with tiny mounts of blood in a machine the size of an inkjet desktop printer instead of dozens of spechalized machines the size of an industrial-grade offset print machine that cost 6-8 digits each.

- If it was easy and cheap then the entire medical lab industry would collapse and my GP wouldn't let a courier transport multiple crates of blood vials each week to said lab, but do it inhouse. And they certainly have enough patients and vacant space to have made that calculation themselves.
