Usana's Asia Pacific vice president resigns -- why?
Why did he resign? Usana says that it was to "pursue another career opportunity" and sent him off with a "Brownie you're doing a heck of a job" pat on the back: "We thank Bradford for his many contributions to USANA and wish him well with his new career opportunity. His leadership and direction over the past 10 years has solidified the Asia Pacific region as a strong and vibrant business."
And maybe that's all there is to it. But maybe not. Back in October of 2007, ex-con turned short-selling gumshoe Barry Minkow accused the company of illegal business practices in China. He said that an investigation had turned up evidence that the company uses its Hong Kong business to recruit Chinese citizens into the company's network marketing business. For more detail, read this New York Post story.
Usana denied the allegations, and maybe it's all unrelated. But the fact is that there have been accusations of bad conduct in China and Hong Kong and now the vice president in charge of that region has resigned. It makes you wonder.

Zac, why are you a shill for Minkow and hedge funds? Can you honestly say you don't receive some sort of money from them???
You have ZERO journalistic integrity....I mean from the getgo, you're a BLOGGER, not a real journalist. You seem to NEVER verify source, or facts, but just present them as "what's really happening" qualified that its just your "guess" or "opinion" of what's going on.
You're a shill, a manipulator, and are in bed with people that are breaking the law. You can rail on USANA ALL YOU WANT, but the fact remains that laws have been broken and you're naivety doesn't save you.
BTW, Bradford is taking a position with a competitor in the same industry. He left, was not fired. He's chasing dollars right now, and more freedom (power). That's it, nothing more, nothing less. BTW, the new company he's at is doing more business in China than USANA, much more. So that throws a wrench in your "theory"...

To the above poster, what MLM company is Bradford moving too?
Lets not forget that Minkow released his report and Bradford started selling all his shares in USANA. While that proves nothing, it certainly doesn't look too promising.
There are a number of odd co-incidences occurring with USANA and I don't think Minkow and Hedge Funds explain them away.
