HLF<>Two charged with insider trading on Herbalife

According to the SEC, Filip Szymik learned in advance from his roommate - then a Pershing Square analyst - about Bill Ackman's public announcement of a short in Herbalife (HLF +0.4%) in late 2012.
Szymik then tipped off Jordan Peixoto, who purchased put options on HLF a day ahead of Ackman's Dec. 20, 2012 presentation. Peixoto reaped $47.1K in illicit profits from the deal, says the SEC.
