Pro Asshole. Should be in jail.

Pro He’s a crook

Pro When does the SEC investigate his tantrum on CNBC?

Pro Irresponsible. (Talking about *CNBC* and the part they played in this whole charade — and the live crying game that helped to tank the market in March.)

Pro And you let him whine on your show about how scared he was for the market when he was short all along!! Do your disclosures!

Pro While he was telling viewers he was buying stocks. Waaaaa. My daddy

Pro Quit putting him on TV

Pro He should be in prison for market manipulation. He cheated millions of people out of hard earned money by tanking the market intentionally. HOW IS THAT LEGAL?

Pro No doubt about that after ScottWapnerCNBC let him cry doom and gloom on air. You guys will never learn will you.

Pro Hey aren't you the guys that aired this fellow saying 'WE ARE ENTERING HELL' as the markets began to rebound?

Pro If he has already bought, will he sell as we buy?

Pro DMB ! Doom Monger Billionaire !

Pro CNBC still pumping Ackman, who gives a s about him.

Pro Why would I want to even consider what he says, maybe tomorrow he changes his mind again.

Pro He shorted the market and then panicked the market with his “the world is dying interview “. He should be in jail!

Pro The short was a hedge, its amazing to me that people on CNBC dont know what that means.

Pro Jerk

Pro They’re all playing a game the super rich can only play. It’s awful. While we all struggle the billionaires thrive

Pro Ackman is a dirtbag!

Pro I'm shocked. He went on CNBC back in March bashing the crap out of the market and he had a big short position. I dont believe it. Pretty sure I even tweeted that that day that this is stock manipulation

Pro “HELL IS COMING” “My Dad, 😭” Joke. BillAckman

Pro Slimebag

Pro A lightening rod for losers.

Pro Click bait BS...you can read it for a $29.99 subscription

Pro Why? Forget this dude

Pro U see his face... and in 1 second you can tell he is a p. Of shi..

Pro The guy who went on TV screaming the sky was falling ? As he was short ? Then went long after the market fell more ?

Pro What happened to 'hell is coming?' 🙄🙄🙄

Pro IS HE STILL LONG JC PENNEY 😂😂

Pro F this guy

Pro This the guy crying on tv for grandma and grandpa?

Pro Why do I feel like anybody who reads this article is just gonna be triggered

Pro Charging to read an article about how ackman made billions shorting a market by coming on CNBC and crashing the market. Now that's rich

Pro Shorting ailing companies during a pandemic is the same as looting during wars. These companies have employees to pay. I bet these companies asked for a bailout, that means this guy looted our tax money indirectly. That’s what he’s doing, a cowardly act, nothing to brag about

Pro Should Bill Ackman be investigated by the SEC--

Pro Bill has one God - 💵

Pro After he used your network to do it. Shills.

Pro CNBC is so shameful!

Pro This guy dump and pump

Pro Time to give the honest people a chance and get people like Ackman more accountable for their self serving comments....transparency is a good thing CNBC!
