Herbalife Hires Former FTC Commissioner For Compliance Department
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Herbalife Ltd. HLF has hired a former U.S. regulator to lead its compliance team, after the Federal Trade Commission opened an investigation into the embattled nutritional-supplement company in March.
Pamela Jones Harbour —who worked as an FTC commissioner from 2003 to 2010 and as a prosecutor for the New York State Attorney General’s office for 12 years—has been appointed senior vice president of global member compliance and privacy. She will lead a compliance team across 91 markets in the newly created role, Herbalife said Monday.
Ms. Harbour’s appointment comes as activist investors continue to face off over the company.
Herbalife, which sells weight-loss shakes and fitness supplements, has been pummeled by hedge fund manager William Ackman since December 2012, when he spent more than three hours in a Manhattan auditorium laying out his case for why he thinks the direct marketer is a pyramid scheme whose salespeople rely more on signing up new recruits than selling product. Mr. Ackman has repeatedly called for an FTC investigation into the company, and his firm, Pershing Square Capital Management, has bet about $1 billion that the company’s shares will fall.
The company has repeatedly defended its operations and has won the support of a number of Mr. Ackman’s hedge fund rivals, including Carl

90,000 Checks On The Way To Defrauded Zeek Rewards Investors
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
The receiver for ZeekRewards.com said last week that more than 90,000 checks are in the mail as part of his first distribution of refunds from the defunct Lexington Internet company.
Kenneth Bell said the value of the 90,297 checks is a combined $134.3 million. However, a combined $23 million was withheld for tax purpose.
Bell stated in August that the payout for most recipients is 40 percent of what they were owed “using the rising-tide method of calculation already approved by the federal court.” A rising-tide distribution is used by courts as a method to pay recovered assets to defrauded investors. The method serves to distribute money in a way that leaves as many investors as possible with the same percentage recovery of their total investment.
Each person receiving a check is owed at least $100.
In August 2012, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission accused Rex Venture Group LLC, Zeekler, ZeekRewards.comand Paul Burks, their principal owner, of raising $850 million through unregistered securities. The companies were shut down and their assets frozen.
The companies raised the money from at least 2.2 million customers, including more than 230,000 in the United States and 47,000 in North Carolina.
U.S. District Court Judge Graham Mullen approved in July the distribution request of Sept.
