Myron W. Wentz is the founder, chairman emeritus and former CEO of USANA Health Sciences, a Utah-based direct selling company that produces nutritional products and dietary supplements.
[1] In 1974, Wentz launched Gull Laboratories as a one-man operation and developed a test for diagnosing Epstein-Barr virus infection.
[4][5] Wentz and his family are the sole owners of Gull Holdings, Ltd., an Isle of Man company,[6] which in turn, is controlled by an entity registered in Liechtenstein, both well known tax haven countries.
The suit alleged that USANA presented materially false and misleading information about the company’s financial situation and business practices.
Former USANA CFO, Gilbert Fuller, responded to this criticism by stating that Wentz's decision to renounce his US citizenship had nothing to do with the company.
