Menu Foods CFO Mark Wiens Doesn't Want to Talk About It

Filed under Pet Food

Menu Foods CFO Mark Wiens says the fact that he sold half his shares in the company two weeks before the pet food recall had nothing to do with the recall. Indeed! Even though the company knew that animals were getting sick from the food before he sold his shares, the company says Mark Wiens was not aware of the fact. They say it was a "horrible coincidence."

Wiens called it a "horrible coincidence" in Canada's Globe and Mail newspaper. He did not immediately return phone calls yesterday and Bornstein said Wiens didn't want to talk about his shares any more.

Doesn't want to talk about his shares anymore? That's too bad, because a lot of pet owners are going to want to talk to him about those shares and the timing of their sale. Good luck with that, Mr. Wiens.
