LOS ANGELES -- (Business Wire)
Global nutrition company Herbalife (NYSE: HLF) today announced the third
in its latest series of videos that showcase observations by the media
and other thought leaders about the motives, failed investment
strategies and questionable tactics of Bill Ackman. Observers have
questioned his scruples and ethics, arguing that he has put his personal
agenda ahead of the interests of his investors.
The third video in the series, “Strategies
Cost His Investors Millions,” posted today on TheRealBillAckman.com.
Many have criticized his imprudent investment strategy, noting, “To take
that big a bet for your fund and your investors, I think it’s foolish,”
and, “He’s failed to follow the No. 1 rule of investing: cut your
losses.”
“Like other investments, it seems as though Bill Ackman’s hubris might
be getting in the way of his judgment,” said Alan Hoffman, executive
vice president, global corporate affairs, Herbalife.
For close to four years, Bill Ackman has launched a well-funded,
aggressive market manipulation campaign, filled with false statements,
to support his reckless $1 billion bet against Herbalife. In addition to
the investment loss for his investors, Bill Ackman said his carrying
costs were approximately $100 million annually, which when combined with
the more than $75 million he has spent on lobbying and public relations,
adds up to real money.

unimpressive record and questionable tactics.
