Betting on Zero directed by Ted Braun is a thrilling documentary that exposes the economic scam behind US corporate health giant Herbalife, the nutrition supplement company that’s been widely condemned as a massive pyramid scheme.
Braun tells the story of controversial hedge fund titan Bill Ackman, an activist investor on a crusade to expose Herbalife as the largest pyramid scheme in history. Meanwhile, Herbalife executives claim Ackman is a market manipulator out to bankrupt them and make a killing off his billion dollar bet against them to collapse.
