2013商界7大口水仗

    卡尔•伊坎 vs. 比尔•阿克曼

    一月份，卡尔•伊坎与比尔•阿克曼本应该在美国全国广播公司财经频道（CNBC）就康宝莱公司（Herbalife）进行辩论。可结果，伊坎有半个小时的时间在辱骂阿克曼，说他是“爱哭鬼”，是一个“彻头彻尾的失败者”，要么是“我毕生见过最道貌岸然的家伙，要么就是傲慢自大。”阿克曼则说伊坎不诚实。

    两人这次在电视节目上的斗嘴主要跟他们几年前参与的一笔交易有关，两人曾为了这笔交易闹上法庭，最终以阿克曼胜诉收场。不过之后的时间，两人仍在就康宝莱公司争执不休。阿克曼称这家营养品公司存在欺诈。伊坎则表示，康宝莱很有前途，但他也承认他之所以购买这家公司的股票很大程度上只是为了报复阿克曼，而且他的报复也收到了成效。康宝莱公司的股价在今年大幅上涨，让阿克曼和他的投资者为此付出了5亿美元的代价。

    Carl Icahn vs. Bill Ackman

    In January, Carl Icahn and Bill Ackman went on CNBC supposedly to debate Herbalife(HLF). Instead, Icahn spent half an hour calling Ackman a "crybaby," a "major loser," and either "the most sanctimonious guy I met in my life or just arrogant." Ackman said Icahn was dishonest.

    Much of the TV smackdown was about a deal the two did together a few years ago that ended up going to court with Ackman winning. But the two continued to fight over Herbalife for the rest of the year. Ackman says the nutritional supplements company is a fraud. Icahn says it has a future, but admits he bought shares in the company in part just to get back at Ackman, which has worked. Herbalife's shares have soared this year, costing Ackman and his investors $500 million.
