Herbalife’s Motion To Dismiss Bostick Charges Denied

Herbalife Ltd. (NYSE:HLF)’s motion to dismiss a lawsuit against it has been denied by a U.S. District Court. Plaintiff Dana Bostick has accused Herbalife of being a pyramid scheme. Previous allegations of racketeering, so-called RICO charges, have been dismissed and Herbalife was hoping that it would be able to end the whole affair without having to go to trial.
