Herbalife Posts Third Video Showcasing Ackman’s Tactics and the Loss to His Investors

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.
