"Dov Charney's luck has finally run out — and American Apparel is likely headed for the sales block. The controversial founder and CEO of American Apparel was ousted Wednesday by the retailer's board, paving the way for a potential sale of the company, insiders said. The board of directors cited "an ongoing investigation into alleged misconduct" that it initiated earlier this year, announcing that it had voted unanimously after its annual meeting Wednesday to fire Charney for cause. While the board didn't elaborate, sources said Charney's personal conduct with women, which had been the subject of a string of sex-harassment suits by former female employees, was among the longstanding issues. The issues didn't appear to be criminal or related to troubles with the company's operations, sources said." * Cenk Uygur (www.twitter.com/cenkuygur), Ben Mankiewicz (www.twitter.com/BenMank77.
