Bill Ackman of Pershing Square tried really hard to publicize their shittiness for his massive short bet on Herbalife. There's even a documentary about it. Never seemed to work. Not sure how much he lost in the trade, but a tidy sum, to say the least.

Of course it didn't help that Carl Icahn was on the other side of the trade. Herbalife's stock has done really well for a company that sells no real product and has no real value.
