@pluralistic maybe worth noting that #Herbalife is also a huge money laundering vector for the #cartels... This is what #BillAckman missed with his famous short.
think about it: it's a cash business. you, a cartel member, have $10,000 you just got selling #fentanyal that you need to launder. you can order $3,000 of Herbalife shakes, dump them in the garbage, and claim you sold them for cash to your friends and family for $10,000.
voila: $7,000 in clean money.
(I suspect it's the same for Amway and others; just don't know as much about it.)
