MLM: It's A Scam

"The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) should:

• initiate investigations of MLM structure, methods and consequences
• refer findings to the US Dept. of Justice.

What is MLM, and What To Do About it

"Are MLMs a cult? Multi-Level Marketing schemes like Lularoe, Young Living Essential Oils, Doterra, Kyani, Herbalife, and Amway are scams for sure, but are they cults? Here we cut past the success stories, the testimonies, and the how-to's in order to analyze these pyramid schemes in light of Steven Hassan's BITE model.
"The world of pseudoscience is closely tied to the MLM world, as essential oils, naturopathy, homeopathy, anti-vax/anti-vaxxers, cancer conspiracies, and all kinds of alternative medicine exist in both. Direct sales and network marketing are often little more than alt-med quackery."

Politics And Pyramid Schemes

For several decades, the US population has been actively duped by Multi-Level Marketing programs that present the appearance of legitimacy.  However, in actuality, many are just Pyramid schemes.  In spite of inadequate laws presently, now the US Congress has proposed H.R. 5230.  While giving the appearance of tightening up the law surrounding this activity, the Bill effectively eliminates prosecution of all but the most blatant forms of pyramids.  BTW, this was a bipartisan bill with the majority Republicans.
