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.

questionable tactics.
