CHICAGO, Dec 30 (Reuters) - A shareholder of Archer-Daniels-Midland is pressing the company's CEO to resign for failing to clearly tell investors about
problems with its internal accounting practices that have sparked a
criminal investigation first reported by Reuters.

In a LinkedIn post entitled "Investor-misery has a name: ADM,"
Hartwig Fuchs said ADM was the worst stock in his portfolio
this year and blamed ADM Chief Executive Juan Luciano.


Fuchs was the board chairman of German trading firm Alfred C.

Toepfer International when ADM owned a majority stake in the firm.
Fuchs left Toepfer in 2009 and Chicago-based ADM acquired it in 2014.


"A German proverb says: The fish always stinks from the head," Fuchs wrote in his column, dated
Sunday.

ADM could not immediately be reached for comment on Monday afternoon.

ADM was forced to amend years of financial reporting in March and November after discovering sales between its nutrition business
and other core units were not recorded properly. The company cut its 2024 profit outlook last month, citing policy uncertainty,
slow demand and "internal operational challenges."

Federal prosecutors in recent months have expanded their inquiries into whether
ADM or its employees committed crimes including securities fraud and conspiracy,
according to subpoenas reviewed by Reuters and people familiar with the probe.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Manhattan on Monday declined to comment on the investigation.

ADM's stock price is down nearly 30% from a year ago, and ADM's shareholders, including Fuchs,
are asking questions and pointing fingers as to who is to blame.



"If a highly paid CEO of such an important company cannot manage to provide clarity within a few months - i.e. fully clear up the scandal, comunicate (sic) with full Transparency about what went wrong and what will be done in the future, regain investors trust and, above all, protect the company from long-term damage - then he has to go,"
Fuchs wrote in his post.

ADM is facing other headwinds including low crop prices,
uncertainty around biofuels regulations and a possible tariff battle
between the United States and China that could upend global trade flows as soon as January, after President-elect
Donald Trump takes office. (Reporting By P.J. Huffstutter in Chicago; Additional reporting by

It's going to be ending of mine day, but before
ending I am reading this great paragraph to
improve my knowledge.

constantly i used to read smaller articles that as well clear their motive, and that is also happening with this post which
I am reading at this time.

Hey there! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers?
My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing a few months of hard work due to no back
up. Do you have any solutions to prevent hackers?

I'm amаzed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a Ьlog that's equally educative and interesting, and withoᥙt a doubt, yoս've hit the nail on the head.
The problem is something too feԝ men and ᴡоmen are speaking intelligently about.
I'm ｖery happy tһat Ӏ came across this during my
hunt for something concerning this.
