CFO of Menu Foods dumps shares before recall


The chief financial officer of Menu Foods Income Fund says it's a "horrible coincidence" that he sold nearly half his units in the troubled pet food maker less than three weeks before a massive recall of tainted pet food.

Insider trading reports show that Mark Wiens sold 14,000 units for $102,900 on Feb. 26 and Feb. 27. Those shares would be worth $62,440 today, based on yesterday's close of $4.46 a unit.

That represented 45 per cent of Mr. Wiens's units. After the sale, he still owned 17,193 units and options to purchase 101,812 units, according to insider trading reports.
"It's a horrible coincidence, yes . . ." Mr. Wiens said yesterday.

Menu Foods knew as early as February 20th that their pet food was POISONED, but delayed the recall until March 16th. I guess now we know the reason for the delay in the recall. How many other precious pets died so a CFO could dump shares?
