回复@Ricky: Here’s the statement from KPMG that was released last night. The statement does not mention Herbalife. A KPMG spokesman also wasn’t immediately available for comment.

Late last week, we were informed that the partner in charge of KPMG’s audit practice in our Los Angeles business unit was involved in providing non-public client information to a third party, who then used that information in stock trades involving several West Coast companies. The partner was immediately separated from the firm.

KPMG’s 22,000 partners and employees unequivocally condemn this individual’s rogue actions. This individual violated the firm’s rigorous policies and protections, betrayed the trust of clients as well as colleagues, and acted with deliberate disregard for KPMG’s long-standing culture of professionalism and integrity.

KPMG is resigning two clients after concluding today that the firm’s independence has been impacted as a result of this individual’s behavior, and we have informed those companies it is necessary to withdraw our auditor reports.  We have no reason to believe that the financial statements of these companies have been materially misstated.

We regret the impact this individual’s actions have had on any of our clients.  KPMG remains committed to the highest standards of professionalism, integrity and quality, and we are dedicated to the capital markets we serve.//@Ricky:回复@坚信价值:看了KPMG的辞职信了，好像不是因为康宝莱的缘故：

Herbalife is poised to disclose on Tuesday that KPMG will have to resign as the company’s auditor, following the accounting firm’s firing of a senior partner, according to a person briefed on the matter….

KPMG disclosed late Monday that it had fired the partner, who was based in Los Angeles, for providing inside information to an unnamed individual who then traded in shares of several West Coast companies. The firm did not name the fired partner, but described the individual as having led accounts for some clients in the region.

The accountancy did not name the companies whose confidential information was disclosed as part of the scheme.
