he is also trying to commission a documentary with connie chung was going to be the host and then it she backed out. he said some controversial things. stock manipulation very difficult to prove. the thing about the little guy is key. the little guy is going out trying to get connie chung to do something paying off whistle-blower, doing all this stuff, not saying it is illegal or even wrong, maybe this is a pyramid scheme but it looks at it and they say what a game is going on. stuart: here is what i would say would be wrong, a wrong thing to do, maybe unethical not illegal but the wrong thing to do. if you placed that big bet privately that that stock is going down, all private, all secret, then you go out in public and talk the stock down that to me is unethical. >> to play devil's advocate he's doing a circus to investors because it is a pyramid scheme meaning at some point they will run out of distributors and the stock will fall so he is alerting the public of a problem. i would say this to bill ackman and everybody else, this is a company that employs people. driving it to zero
