Whole Foods CEO gets caught using psuedonym on Yahoo Finance
Unbelievable. The New York Times has reported that the head of Whole Foods, John Mackey is being investigated by the FTC for creating a fictitious alias on Yahoo Finance, called Rahodeb. Under his alias the last seven years, he insulted the Wild Oats Market, a natural foods retailer that Whole Foods wants to acquire, and made other very strange comments. Check out what John Mackey wrote in Yahoo Finance. If this is true, there is potential that Whole Foods can get in a lot of trouble.

I don’t understand why he can’t do something like this? What’s illegal about it? I mean, I wouldn’t expect someone at his level to bother (vs. a lower level employee) but doesn’t he have the right to express his opinion or even insult the competition if he wants to?
