Whole Foods CEO May Be in (Bottled) Hot Water
According to the Wall Street Journal, the Securities and Exchange Commission has opened an informal investigation into the online postings of Whole Foods CEO John Mackey.
And my favorite part: Eddy Elfenbein of Crossing Wall Street has posted Rahodeb's (Mackey's handle) greatest hits, including this one: "Oh yes, 'the John Mackey identity theory'. I've heard it a few times before on this Board. Believe it if you wish since it enhances the value of what I write."

It is disturbing what the anonymity of the internet reveals about the human psyche. You can be sure I won't be frequenting whole foods anytime soon. not that I can afford it anyway.

So, people are upset because he lied about who he was, on that message board? Or, because he talked about company secrets, while pretending he wasn't someone who'd know them? I mean, I guess it's sketchy to go around telling people your company is awesome and other people's companies suck, but who listens to internet crackpots in chat rooms anyway? I guess I'm just not sure why this is such a big deal.
