Video Demonstrates Aggressive and Deceptive Recruiting Practices Persist

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Pershing Square Capital Management, L.P. (“Pershing Square”) today released the sixth in a series of videos showing that Herbalife continues to make false and misleading claims about its fraudulent business opportunity to entice new recruits into its pyramid scheme. The videos are available at www.FactsAboutHerbalife.com.

Today’s video features Herbalife distributors making outrageous claims about the business in 2014 and 2015. In the video, Herbalife distributor Sarah Olguin claims:

"Herbalife allows you to make as much money as you want in a day, in a week, in a month, in a year, it’s all about ‘earn your worth.’ … It’s all done online, so you’re never taking a risk. It’s a very riskless business and I think that’s one of the best parts about Herbalife."

Herbalife GET team member Ari Campos Taalib-Din claims:

"You have the opportunity of a lifetime. … This company’s changing lives."

Herbalife’s compensation plan incentivizes recruiting which fosters misleading and fraudulent distributor behavior. Herbalife remains a pernicious pyramid scheme in which 99% of distributors earn less than minimum wage and 86% earn $0 from the company.
