All Pyramids Eventually Collapse
Every pyramid or Ponzi scheme collapses
because it cannot expand beyond the size
of the earth's population. When the
scheme collapses, most investors find
themselves at the bottom, unable to
recoup their losses.
http://www.ftc.gov/public-
statements/1998/05/pyramid-schemes
Why Do Pyramid Schemes Always Fail?
Since there are only a limited number of people in a given community, all
pyramid schemes will ultimately collapse. The only people who make money
are those few who are on the top of the pyramid.
http://www.ag.ny.gov/consumer-frauds/pyramid-schemes
From the Securities and
Exchange Commission:
From the New York Attorney General:
From the Federal Trade Commission:
The fraudsters behind a
pyramid scheme may go to
great lengths to make the
program look like a legitimate
multi-level marketing program.
. . . But eventually the pyramid
will collapse.

From a 2008 Herbalife Internal Strategy Document
Herbalife Exported Nutrition Clubs From Mexico to the U.S.
34
When the new management team came in, they asked what's the
phenomenon going on in Mexico? Why is Mexico is very consistently growing
the business? We went down into Mexico and found that these nutrition
clubs were really the vibrant aspect of that business versus the traditional
retailing-oriented component. In early 2004, we validated the nutrition club
concept. And you can see that point of inflection where once that was
validated and we started to communicate that, put that message on stage,
if you will, and create a lot of visibility around the success distributors were
having, it really escalated the Mexican business. Similarly, that concept
started to migrate into the US in late 2004.

I get a call from a distributor, for example, who lives let's say in Southern
California and wants to move to Miami. So we have a program called
Geoscape that we can basically look up not only the -- let's say that they only
interested in working in the Latino market, okay. So it tells us what's the
Latino population, it actually breaks it down by the Cuban, Mexican, Puerto
Rican, and then also layers it by the distributors. So within that zip code
area, how many distributors do we have and what level are they. And this is
how they also have taken on that city-by-city concept, because they don't
want -- only want to just started working in their own backyard, they want to
start working in the different states.

Nutrition Clubs Lose Money
(1) Daily traffic based on average of the two days of traffic observed by Pershing Square. Assumes 75% of daily traffic are paying members.
(2) Based on analysis of recorded rents for comparable local retail properties performed by New York City real estate consultant
(3) New York City real estate consultant and Pershing Square estimates
(4) Based on estimated traffic for total servings and average cost per serving assuming a purchase price at a 50% discount to retail price. Amount per serving
based on Herbalife recommended recipes. Assumes each member consumes one Formula 1 shake, one herbal tea, and one aloe water per visit, as they are
entitled to under their membership fee.
(5) Assumes a three year amortization period for the $6,000 nutrition club start up costs as reported by Herbalife
We estimate that the average Nutrition Club loses more than $12,000
per year before accounting for the additional opportunity cost of the
operators time

Because when you buy the product once a month and you have to
come out the pocket $30, $40, $50 or $100, it's hard for people to
afford. If you could break it to a daily price point, you could have the
same price per serving, but now you break it to $2, $3, $4 per day, it
becomes very accessible to people. So it's not more affordable, but
it's more accessible.

Herbalife Tells Wall Street
Nutrition Clubs Attract Repeat Customers
In response to a survey of U.S. Nutrition Club members,

almost 80% attended more than 3 days a week, and more
than 40% have been attending the club for longer than
one year.

offers a way for distributors to reach the Presidents Team
Price is little when the promise is clear, as my teacher used to say,

Club 100: Another Pyramid to Climb
Distributors must faithfully record all consumers entering their clubs
123
And I'm going to clarify again
that these are not consumers, but
how many consumptions your club
had. Because if someone went
and consumed two or even three
times that day in your nutrition
club, that would be registered
here as three consumptions and
his or her name would be written
three times.
Source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9ve9LZcdpc&feature=youtu.be.
Club 100: Another Pyramid to Climb
The number of consumers, however, is not as important as the amount
of product they consume
124
Club 100: Another Pyramid to Climb
Now, you see, the objective we
want to achieve is that a club
with 25 [daily consumers]
moves, not 1,200 points [the
amount of volume required to
serve 25 people for 30 days],
but 2,500 points. That means
that there are still 1,300 to go.
Those 1,300 points, my friends,
are achieved with products, eh,
by selling closed products for
specific nutrition.
Finally, Club 100 requires that distributors place set volume point orders
every month to back up that they have the claimed 25, 50, 75 or 100
consumptions going on daily at their club
125
Club 100: Another Pyramid to Climb
Once you have reached 25 meals, you can become a daily school
club. Then, others will go to yours, to learn and pay for their
consumption.

The benefits of reaching these inventory loading targets are more
consumers
126
Club 100: Another Pyramid to Climb
We were told that clubs are permitted to train new recruits
only when they reach 50 or More consumers. We spoke with

that trainee work in her club because she not reached 50 and
More. As a result, the trainee was working in her uplines club.

Club 100 uses a record keeping system called the Engargolado

You place that amount in your green envelope, and that is

someplace else. What do you do with the green envelope that is
your salary? You pay for electricity, you start saving to pay for
electricity, you pay for water, your phone, your club, everything.

The Green Envelope is described as equivalent of a club operators
take-home pay, but theres a catch
133
The first of the binding is a clear
plastic sheet and it is super
important that it is like that, clear,
because in the end, eh, here is the
monthly summary of earnings.
The fact that it is see-through
turns it into a very effective
recruiting tool once your club
becomes successful.

That catch doesnt stop Club 100 from telling distributors to include the
profits they earn in their clubs on forms shared with potential recruits
134
Club 100: False Earnings Claims
These earnings statements provide proof to potential recruits that
Club 100 operators are steadily advancing toward the promised
Presidents Team level. There are frequent opportunities to present this
proof at classes where club operators provide earnings claims as well as
health claims
135
Club 100: The Requalification Treadmill
Qualification is a never-ending process. Distributors must constantly
re-qualify in order to stay in the game. Those who dont re-qualify have
their clubs taken off the tour list, arent permitted to bring potential
recruits to classes and arent welcome to bring their potential recruits
on Presentation Tours of qualified clubs. In other words, they lose
access to Club 100s (deceptive) marketing techniques.
137
Club 100 requires Club operators to take 10% out of the GREEN
envelope every week and place it in the RED envelope to purchase
additional products. Unless the Club operator reports increased
inventory, he will not re-qualify to remain on the tour list.

Club 100: The Requalification Treadmill
Specifically here from the green
envelope, from your profit, you are
going to take 10% and you are going
to put it here in 'increase.' What for?
Because what we want to achieve
with this is that your inventory,
independently of what you start
withif it was 500 or 1,000 points
with that, my friends, you can get to
what we saw in those nutrition clubs
with weekly inventories of 3, 4, 5
thousand volume points with this,
with this principle of the 10%.

Club 100: The Requalification Treadmill

Promotions are used to keep the volume moving
through clubs:

Distributor birthday parties
Mothers Day giveaways
Product raffles
Free facials
Other creative promotions, such as

141
Three hours of free babysitting with purchase
of a shake
142
Recall that distributors cover the cost of promotions and
must assure that the money needed to replace products are
placed in the RED envelope.

As long as distributors keep ordering more product, ignoring
other expenses and funding the RED envelope, distributors
will see their earnings continue to grow.

Whats Wrong with Club 100?
Relies on deceptive income claims
Deceives trainees into believing they are investing
in an education with a valuable pay-off at substantial cost in
time and money for the trainee
Demands DUPLICATION for success
Creates fake Club traffic consisting of trainees
and their family members and friends
Promotes inventory loading
Violates Federal labor laws applicable to unpaid employees

Trainees are told they are on the road to the
Presidents Team or higher

Through Club 100s pentagonal growth, they can
earn $657,000

With Herbalife, they can pay the rent, buy shoes for
their children, leave money to their grandchildren
But, according to Club 100:

9 out of 10 Clubs that were closed were attended by
distributors who are not trained

So recruits need Training.

Herbalifes Continued Support for
Club 100 and Other Training Programs

Herbalife touts its new 90-day waiting period,
as if it prevents recruits from committing to the
business opportunity too quickly.

In fact, Herbalife uses the 90-day period to
encourage recruits to become committed to a
training program which promises success in
the business

180
Herbalife Club 100 Worksheet Notice (emphasis added):

The Worksheet for Nutrition Club Training will help to ensure that new Nutrition
Club operators receive adequate training for their own successful Nutrition
Club. Use this worksheet in your system to keep track of your attendance at
each stage of the theoretical and practical training. This training will take 30
days to complete or can progress at a pace that is most comfortable for you.
Before signing a tenancy agreement for the purpose of opening a
nonresidential Nutrition Club you must complete the first 90 days since
Herbalife accepted your Application and Membership Agreement.

Translation of Legend in Spanish at the
bottom of Lo Mejor de Lo Mejor Training Worksheet
Herbalifes own Best of the Best (Lo Mejor de Lo Mejor) instructs
new recruits to keep track of their training over 30 days

And one of the reasons we want to get this out of the way our
Chairman's Club who are the real, real go-getters, the real leaders,
the people who take the stage, who lead the parade in this company,
who are the heavily inspiring, motivating people we have highly
aspirational folks. We will be on the phone with them in two hours
to go through this in more depth with more discussions this years as
we have got to do. They will give us a ton of input and say, here is
what you need to do and here is the support we need to integrate
the market. Yeah, and together and this will also be because these
are global leaders.

(deceased)
Herbalife's most celebrated Latino
distributor, Eduardo Salazar was
murdered in Mexico by a double-crossing
hit man whom Salazar had hired to kill a
rival bar owner.
Salazar was an early user of the
"Universidad del Exito" concept, which
is now used across the U.S. and Latin
America, and requires distributors to
undergo "training" in order to participate
in the Herbalife business opportunity.

South Korea
Herbalife President Des Walsh responded
to an analyst's question about Club 100
and training systems by saying that the
company didn't track the retention rate of
trainees but added: "What we do see is
that the systemized training approaches
have a higher level of duplication earlier
and the greatest example of that is Korea.
So when the Koreans recognized the
potential that the nutrition model had
for Korea, they instituted a systemized
training approach rapidly."

this point.

of its Compliance with Laws covenant

(1) Based on EBITDA adjusted to exclude $20mm of expenses for reaudit and $29mm of expenses related to criticism of the companys business model
(2) As of Q1 14
We estimate that the contribution margin from Nutrition Clubs
to Herbalifes EBITDA is more than 80%. Without the significant
contribution from Nutrition Clubs, Herbalife would be in breach of the
3.5x Maximum Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio covenant
in its Credit Agreement

How Could Herbalife Have Gotten Away
with Running a Pyramid Scheme for
More than 30 Years?
The Power of the Big Lie
236

With Pershing Square's limited accountability, in
light of the historical regulatory scrutiny placed on
Herbalife, it has made the astonishing claim that it
is a "provable certainty" Herbalife is a massive,
sprawling fraud that had gone undetected for more
than 30 years. Pershing Square is claiming that
decades of Herbalife management, and a material
number of members had all kept this secret.
