Betting On Zero

Betting on Zero, the acclaimed documentary by independent director Ted Braun that Herbalife doesn’t want you to see, is now in theaters and available on iTunes and Amazon. First shown at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2016 where it earned a special jury mention for investigative filmmaking, the film offers an in-depth examination of Herbalife. Though Herbalife wants the public to believe that it offers recruits an economic opportunity, the film reveals the bleak reality that the vast majority of Herbalife distributors will earn nothing or lose money. Herbalife is a deceptive pyramid scheme that has taken advantage of millions of people around the world and Betting on Zero offers a unique opportunity for viewers to hear directly from individuals who have been hurt by the company.

Neither Pershing Square nor anyone affiliated with Pershing Square had anything to do whatsoever with financing the film nor did Pershing Square have editorial control of the film in any way.

John Oliver Exposes Herbalife

HBO’s John Oliver is the latest to examine Herbalife and sound the alarm. In pointing out the hypocrisy and fraud inherent in Herbalife’s “business opportunity,” he shines a spotlight on how the company preys on millions of people every year.

To raise awareness about the dangers of MLMs, John Oliver is starting his own pyramid scheme.  #ThisIsAPyramidScheme asks its recruits to use the classic ‘find five friends who find five friends…’ MLM tactic to spread the segment itself far and wide.

When it comes to Herbalife, it’s clear: #ThisIsAPyramidScheme !
