Whole Foods CEO off the hook on message board posts

More

In a sign that you can't keep a good man down, the SEC has dropped its investigation into message board postings by Whole Foods (NASDAQ: WFMI) CEO John Mackey.

Reuters writes that the agency as "concluded a probe into its chief executive's anonymous Web chat room messages about then-rival Wild Oats Markets and recommended no action be taken."

Mackey can now go back to posting on other subjects but will have to come up with a new name to disguise his real identify. The old one, Rahodeb, has already been taken.
