影/問曹興誠還告嗎？謝寒冰：照片若法庭公布「旁聽變旁觀」
資深媒體人謝寒冰日前爆料聯電前董事長曹興誠有陸籍嫩三，並公布兩人多張親密照片，原本曹興誠稱說是AI合成，但今（19）日傍晚臉書發文認了照片是真的。對此，謝寒冰問曹董還要告嗎？到時候照片在法庭上公布，一旦開放給民眾旁聽，屆時恐怕「旁聽變旁觀」。
曹興誠在臉書發文痛批，「謝寒冰不知道從哪裡弄來了我以前的一些私人照片，對外散布，侵犯了我的隱私權，已經犯法。將照片變造，讓我看起來不雅，當然罪加一等；他的目的，是為了妨礙罷免，更違犯了《選罷法》104條，最高可處7年的重罪。謝寒冰不知道自己已經嚴重觸法，還得意洋洋，說他的照片都是真的。真的又怎樣？你是誰？你有什麼身分資格任意散布我的隱私？如果別人也這樣對你，或對你的家人，你還會得意洋洋嗎？」
對於曹興誠的發文，謝寒冰今日上中天新聞政論節目《林嘉源辣晚報》，他提出質疑，「曹董你剛開始不是說是AI合成，現在又說是私人照片，那代表我沒有亂爆料和變造照片，這些就是你的照片」。謝寒冰再次重申，自己對於曹興誠有無小三完全沒興趣，他所關心的是，「你們兩人究竟是什麼關係？」畢竟這位單忠華女士跟中共國營企業非常有關，請問你有無被中共收買？你態度180度大轉變回到台灣，到底是不是受到中共驅使？
謝寒冰不客氣地說，你們每次指責別人賣國賊，那你在幹什麼？這是10年前的事情，你當時和大陸女性過從甚密，你有無被洗腦？還是有啥把柄被人掌握？自己想問的是這個，不要在那邊給我扯什麼個人隱私，「你是公眾人物，你是『全社會防衛韌性』顧問，你還當選文化總會執行委員，還是罷免領銜人，你有這麼多政治地位和關係，若是被中共滲透，會不會危害到國家安全，當然會啊！這是公眾利益啊，曹董！」
謝寒冰續指，「如果曹董還是要對我提告，沒關係那就去告，屆時我們真的可以在法庭驗證一下，看看是你講的對還是我講的對」。
謝寒冰直言，我們還是有基本操守，不該公諸於社會大眾的，當然不會公開給人家看，我說的就是曹董你私密部位的部分。前幾天他們還在吵照片被變造過，我是刻意幫你馬賽克，你希望直接登出來嗎？登出在哪個媒體那個媒體就倒楣，唯一能登出來的地方就是法庭，「你希望去法庭看嗎？要不要開放讓民眾旁聽？」這時一旁的來賓帥化民突然笑問，「旁聽還是旁觀？」謝寒冰笑說，「都可以啊！」事情會搞成現在這樣，就是曹董你造成的。
Bill Ackman Is Betting $900 Million He Could Become The Next Warren Buffett
The hedge fund manager is waging his own money in a bid to build a diversified financial conglomerate that can rival the life’s work of Warren Buffett.

February 19, 2025
The 94 year-old Oracle of Omaha bought into a dying textile producer 60 years ago, transforming it into the $1 trillion behemoth it is today. Billionaire Bill Ackman may be one of the best-known hedge fund managers on Wall Street, but he’s no Warren Buffett.
He hopes to change that now as the investor behind Pershing Square is willing to stake $900 million on a bet he can become the 94 year-old Oracle of Omaha’s spiritual successor by forging what Ackman pitches as a “modern-day Berkshire Hathaway.”
Instead of the textile producer Buffett bought into in 1965, Ackman’s vessel is real estate company Howard Hughes Holdings. After spinning off a collection of loosely affiliated assets into the exchange-listed Seaport Entertainment Group last July, it now focuses on large condominium developments like the 60-acre Ward Village on Hawaii’s Waikiki Beach. Under Ackman’s plan, HHH would issue 10 million shares of newly minted stock at $90 apiece, a tidy 12% premium to Tuesday’s closing price.
This equity would then be purchased by Ackman and his team, collectively raising their overall direct and indirect stake to 48% of the company. HHH would then function as a “long-term platform” for acquiring and managing controlling interests in public and private operating companies. Ackman himself would serve as its CEO and chairman, while two of his chief lieutenants would assume senior roles.
“I first learned about Warren Buffett from a college classmate when I was 20 years old. Four years later, I read my first Berkshire Hathaway shareholder letter and I was inspired to become an investor. …” Bill Ackman (@BillAckman) February 18, 2025
“The $900 million cash infusion will enable HHH to immediately begin to pursue the acquisition of controlling interests in public and private companies as part of its new strategy of becoming a diversified holding company,” Pershing Square Holdco, LP, said in a statement on Tuesday. Howard Hughes Holding confirmed the offer, adding a special committee comprised of independent directors will now evaluate the proposal and determine the appropriate course of action.
Ackman’s Own Skin in the Game This Time
Ackman’s gambit isn’t just another Chipotle, Herbalife or MBIA, where he marshals investor cash to buy a stake big enough to agitate for a breakup, management reshuffle or asset strip before liquidating his interest for a profit and moving on to the next undervalued corporation.
HHH would represent a deeply personal wager as the speculator, worth roughly $9.5 billion, would have his own skin in the game. The cash would come entirely from Pershing Square HoldCo, which he and his management team own 90% of following a recent stock sale.
Ackman’s better-known hedge fund Pershing Square Capital Management, LP, in which his team have a 28% interest by comparison, would not be involved beyond retaining their existing 18.9 million shares.
In fact, his investors — known in the business as limited partners or LPs — will even be diluted if the transaction proceeds, as their stake would shrink from nearly 38% to just 31% under the deal. Yet the planned acquisition would represent an elegant solution to Ackman’s problems. He’s been trying to crystalize value from HHH for months now, only to see the share price fail to ignite.
In total the stock has shed over a third of its value during the past 10 years. By risking his own cash, Howard Hughes Holding might finally provide a potential return on that initial investment for Pershing Square’s LPs that might typically be ultra-high net worth individuals as well as pension funds, charitable trusts and university endowments.
‘A Lot Better than a Dying Textile Company’
In the process, Ackman could pitch to Buffett’s devoted following of retail investors that HHH is the next Berkshire Hathaway, the world’s 11th largest company by market cap and the most valuable financial institute, worth $1 trillion.
Omaha’s most famous son famously didn’t found the investment holding he has controlled for the past 60 years, either, but rather bought into Berkshire Hathaway when it still manufactured textiles.
From the ashes of that business, he transformed it into a financial vehicle that actively manages stakes in corporations as diverse as Coca-Cola, General Re and Dairy Queen — and more recently Apple. “A big part of the appeal of Berkshire is that anyone who could afford one share, about $20 back in the early 1960s, could participate in the compounding of that value over time,” Ackman posted to social media on Tuesday.
The core property development operations of HHH would meanwhile continue under current CEO David O’Reilly with the same strategic direction. In fact, Ackman even went so far as to claim its strategy of focusing on miniature cities like Ward Village, which the real estate sector calls master-planned communities, is healthier than Berkshire Hathaway was when Buffett first took control.
“It’s a lot better than a dying textile company,” Ackman wrote.
