DSA President Joseph Mariano’s New York Times Letter To The Editor

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
To the Editor:
Re “Riddle of the Pyramids,” by Joe Nocera (column, Jan. 10):
There is no riddle. Federal law and statutes in a majority of the states clearly define a pyramid as an operation that pays salespeople primarily for recruiting additional members into a network instead of selling products. The Federal Trade Commission further warns that pyramids may require members to buy large amounts of inventory, meaning you couldn’t consume it yourself, or unwanted items.
“Multilevel marketing” is not synonymous with pyramid scheme. The former is an accepted, lawful method of marketing consumer goods and services. The latter is an illegal business operation that should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Hundreds of direct selling firms in the United States (sometimes referred to as multilevel marketers) that are members of the Direct Selling Association are progressive companies with sound business practices that provide opportunities to millions around the globe. These companies, including Herbalife, have committed themselves to the highest level of marketplace ethics and a rigorous self-regulatory code.
We should consider the consequences to the individuals who sell and consume their products — and the communities their parent companies serve — before placing scarlet letters upon their legitimate businesses.
JOSEPH N. MARIANO
President

Herbalife’s Biggest Individual Shareholder Has Added To His Position

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
Myles Udland at BusinessInsider.com Reports:
Post Holdings executive chairman Bill Stiritz has added to his stake in Herbalife.
Stiritz, who is Herbalife’s biggest individual shareholder, has added to his 8.2% position in Herbalife during the stock’s recent pullback, according to a report from CNBC’s Scott Wapner.
Wapner, citing sources, also reported that Stiritz had not sold a share of his stake in the company.
Earlier this month, Business Insider’s Julia La Roche reported that Stiritz had most likely suffered paper losses upward of $200 million on his position in the multilevel marketing company, which fell about 50% during 2014. 
Stiritz is on the same side of the Herbalife trade as noted activist investor Carl Icahn, who is the company’s largest shareholder. Hedge fund manager Bill Ackman is well known for being short shares of Herbalife, and in a December 2012 presentation, Ackman called the company a pyramid scheme. 
The FTC opened an investigation into Herbalife in March. 
In September 2013, when Stiritz first initiated his position in Herbalife, the stock was trading just below $60 per share. On Friday, shares of Herbalife were just below $32. 
Following Wapner’s report, shares of Herbalife, which had been lower Friday, were up as much as 3%.

Solavei Sues Stream Energy For Stealing Trade Secrets After Merger Talks

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
A Dallas District Court judge today blocked Stream Energy from using proprietary technology and information to launch a new mobile phone service after social commerce leader Solavei sued Stream for stealing trade secrets gathered during extensive merger talks.
Seattle-based Solavei sought the injunction to halt Stream and its marketing arm, Ignite, from using trade secrets and other intellectual property in launching a mobile phone service sold through an online direct-marketing platform – exactly the type of social commerce business pioneered and continuously innovated upon by Solavei. Stream’s mobile business was set to launch on Saturday, Jan. 24, 2015, at an event in Las Vegas.
“Without benefit of Solavei’s confidential information and the guidance and explanation provided during due diligence, Defendants could not launch this new business – particularly not in a matter of months,” the lawsuit states.
Solavei provides high-quality, low-cost and contract-free mobile phone service in the United States. The company’s core business strategy combines social media, referral marketing and mobile service.
Stream is a Texas company involved in the direct marketing of retail electric service. Senior Stream executives named in the lawsuit are Chairman Rob Snyder, CEO Mark “Bouncer” Schiro and CFO Renee Hornbaker along with top Stream associates who were bound by specific confidentiality agreements.
