Has China awoken? “Carl Icahn’s wealth has plunged by $15 billion since a short-seller targeted him – but the activist investor says he’s ready to fight back”

 

• Carl Icahn’s wealth has fallen by $15 billion since Hindenburg targeted him last month.
• The 87-year-old activist investor said in a recent interview that he’s ready to fight the short-seller.
• “If you’re going to be bothered by this, you shouldn’t be in this business,” Icahn told Bloomberg.

Carl Icahn said in a recent interview that he’s bracing for a fight against Hindenburg Research after its report last month cratered his personal fortune.

The 87-year-old activist investor told Bloomberg that while he didn’t expect the short-seller to target him, he’s relishing the battle to defend his business empire.

“People come and ask me, ‘How do you feel?’ Maybe it sounds strange, but it doesn’t really affect me a whole lot. It’s my nature,” Icahn said in the interview, published Monday evening.
