Bringing a close to years of drama between rival billionaires, activist-investor Carl Icahn has sold his remaining shares in Herbalife. Icahn began purchasing Herbalife in 2013 in response to rival-investor Bill Ackman taking a $1 billion short position on the company and calling it a pyramid scheme. Icahn accumulated approximately one quarter of all Herbalife shares and gained a seat on the company’s board. After outlasting Ackman, Icahn tells the media that his activism on behalf of Herbalife is no longer needed.
