Billionaire Bill Ackman is facing intense criticism after contributing a hefty sum to the legal defense fund for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer involved in the fatal shooting of Renee Good last week. Ackman, a major hedge fund manager, decided to weigh in on the controversial case by donating $10,000 to the GoFundMe set up for officer Jonathan Ross’s legal expenses.
That $10,000 donation was tied for the single largest contribution to the fund, which has already ballooned past $704,000, inching closer to its $800,000 goal, per The Hill. It’s clear that this case has struck a nerve, and Ackman’s involvement certainly amplified the already heated debate.
