The Ackman-aniacs
Added 2023-12-18 14:56:58 +0000 UTCWe revisit our old pal Bill Ackman, who was one of Wall Street's most notorious activist investors, to become the SPAC king, to finally settling into his new role as a billionaire culture warrior. Also, we discuss the suspension of a delightfully moronic Tory MP, and check out how Neom is finally building some stuff that's not just different shaped hotels.
CHRISTMAS ANNOUNCEMENT: The TF team will be taking some time off, so instead of a free episode in the week of the 25th we will be unlocking a paid episode for free listeners and releasing a Q&A for paid listeners, and then normal service will resume the first week of Jan.

Briefly misheard Utamo as Utumno, the first and greatest fortress of Morgoth, delved deep beneath the Iron Mountains in the far north of Arda during the First Age, home to hosts of fallen Ainur and to monsters which were corrupted and bred therein, and I thought "yeah, seems par for the course"

Flash boys era. If you fund startups you aren’t a hedge fund, you’re an angel/vc, maybe pe with wide mandate.
