Bill Ackman, aside from his pharmaceutical hedge fund debacle, fell for a scheme same as any standard guy, but he has a lot of integrity and a moral compass.

This is the best answer I can give about what is going on with Herbalife. People still sponsor others, and expect the newbies to do the same, here's the problem. After 25 years, most people have heard, joined, used the products or have a family member who is offering Herbalife products. So they show no interest and tell you no. Newbies don' understand that your market is very small due to the amount of people who have been selling/using/recruiting Herbalife for years. So, the end result is angry people who are commenting on this post! However, show the same people a new and unique product, video or company and they are open to using or joining the company! The profession is extremely strong and viable for the average person to make a nice part time or full time income! Network marketing is NOT the issue, it's the TIMING, Ackman should know that franchises were once considered a pyramid scheme. How did that work out for those who chose to invest in one? Will I choose a 7-11 or a Subway franchise? No way, there's one on every corner. Show me something new and exciting, I'm all ears!

Herbalife is a very bad investment and a very unhealthy overpriced product. But at the same time this Bill guy is no rose either...why does henfight Herbalife so much? Well because of the options he has in the stock meaning the lower the Herbalife stock is the more money he makes...and he said he will pursue this to the end (of course there is a LOT of money to be gained)...but what he says about Herbalife is true jt sucks big time...but so does he. All about the money as always :) Peace
