Epicure Registered $50 Million In Retail Sales For 2014

 
Epicure, Canada’s fastest-growing party plan company just might be Vancouver Island’s best-kept secret — well, until now. Epicure CEO Amelia Warren, in Vancouver last week to promote her burgeoning women-led clean food company, was all smiles sharing the “overnight success story” that actually began in the 1990s with lots of elbow grease and little fanfare.
Last year, the self-proclaimed “ambassadors of good food” registered $50 million in retail sales thanks, in part, to a trending back-to-the-kitchen movement, social media and a national sales force of 15,000-plus.
“My mother has always promoted healthy living. She insists if you want to eat healthy you have to cook so you’ll know exactly what’s in your food … and cutting out the liberal amounts of fat, sugar and salt you see in the convenience food industry,” said Warren.

Medifast Profits Fall 45%, Overhauls Board

 
Weight-loss company Medifast Inc. announced Monday that it would overhaul its board of directors under pressure from an activist investment firm, removing eight directors and adding five.
Medifast, is seeking to break into international markets and expand its national reach as it copes with growing competition from technology-driven diet programs on smartphones and other gadgets. CEO Michael MacDonald, who will continue as chairman, said the new board would help the company reach those goals.

The board members who are being replaced “were good board members but didn’t have the national experience or exposure that these guys were looking for,” MacDonald said. “What we’re doing now is putting in what we feel will be people who have very good skill sets to take us to that next level.”

LEOCoin Founders Linked to Pyramid Scheme in Pakistan

 
The latest alternative currency hype launch, LEOCoin, has received quite a bit of attention, following a series of outlandish claims. The developer team behind LEOCoin, in a recent CNBC article, claimed that several thousand merchants were willing to accept the digital currency.

“The company therefore claims it has 131,176 registered businesses ready to use LEOCoin, potentially making it the “second largest digital currency” in the world.”

Several media outlets have requested the founders of LEOCoin to provide some evidence to back up the claims made in that particular CNBC article. However, no commentary has been so far by LEOCoin representatives. As of today, nobody seems to have any idea as to who the 131,175 merchants really are. LEOCoin’s developers, Dan Anderson and Atif Kamran, have a somewhat checkered past.
In 2012, Anderson and Kamran were warned by
