Hello and welcome to the of course edition of Slate Money,

their weekly guide to the Business and Finance News of the Week.

I'm Felix Salmon of Fusion and I'm coming to you this week from Fusion's global

headquarters in Miami, Florida. On the show this week we are going to start with a segment idea from one of our

listeners. More on that in a minute, but Scott Means. Are you out there? Get ready. That

discussion will carry us nicely into a look at Herbelife and a quote unquote

death blow that a certain steely-eyed hedge fund manager was supposed to deal it this week and we'll also talk about

so-called inversion deals and whether we should just abolish the corporate

income tax already and like we do every week we'll close with our numbers lightning

round. But first let me introduce our regular guests who are still in New York City.

Kathy O'Neill, head of the lead program for

data journalism at Columbia University is the first. Hi Kathy,

what's your number this week?

Hi Felix, my number is 394,000. Hmm, I like that number.

Thank you.
