In his July 29 decision, Carney ruled partly in Visa’s favor. He wrote in the opinion that Fleites “simply has no basis for claiming Visa directly participated in the sex trafficking ventures that harmed her.” In addition, he ordered Fleites to provide “a more definite statement with respect to her common law civil conspiracy cause of action against Visa.”
On Saturday, activist investor Bill Ackman of Pershing Square Holdings, who has previously called out the role of Visa and Mastercard in enabling MindGeek’s ability to make money from child pornography, posted a“Visa’s conduct here is inexcusable, likely to cause the company incalculable financial and reputational damage” as well as “create serious… personal liability and potential criminal liability for the board,” Ackman wrote in part.
Ackman wrote that Visa CEO Alfred Kelly “should know that the majority of child trafficking victims are from lower-income families including Black and Brown families. I would recommend that Visa’s board, and separately Mr. Kelly, should hire independent white collar and criminal counsel.” He concluded the thread with, “Et tu, @Mastercard?”
