It is commonly believed that the best forensic guys are the short sellers. You may know that Bill Ackman, the legendary hedge fund manager short sold Herbalife with a $ 1 billion position in 2012. It has not yet worked for him, even as he spends $ 100 million annually just to maintain his shorts.
Bill made a 2.5 hr, 524 slide presentation in 2012 and kept a dedicated website – http://www.factsaboutherbalife.com/
Fortune has a very instructive essay / article Bill’s attempted siege of Herbalife and Herbalife’s counter-attack. It is long but written in an engaging manner. It can be found here – BIll Ackman vs Herbalife. Unlike Bill’s earlier shorts, this one seems to be a longer battle; and with many fund managers taking a long position.
