They were madly trying to sell the MLM plan and now will not listen to criticism? They're certain Herbalife can make you rich and can't be a pyramid scheme because it sponsors Ospreys rugby. I can give my name and e-mail but don't post them.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762286463497378104.post-6915783769935705662013-08-24T14:04:48.031+02:002013-08-24T14:04:48.031+02:00Thanks Joe - Another important point to consider, ...Thanks Joe - Another important point to consider, is the fact that if the 'Herbalife' lie was to be fully-investigated by independent law enforcement agents and closed-down, then the wider 'MLM income opportunity' lie would almost certainly collapse. That means that suddenly, numerous wealthy 'MLM' racketeers have become not only dependent on maintaining the 'Herbalife' lie, but also dependent on Carl Icahn. As you have rightly observed, no matter what they might steadfastly pretend, men like Carl Icahn have not the slightest interest in what is right or what is wrong. Their sole motivation is financial. <br /><br />Some things never change, for numerous other amoral American tycoons made fortunes out of the 'Nazi' regime, and they too were never held fully to account. <br /><br />David Brearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122471861776758998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762286463497378104.post-61813850004266535382013-08-24T09:49:48.623+02:002013-08-24T09:49:48.623+02:00David thank you - excellent.

It beats me that the PR, salesmanship, and lies of these organizations manage to survive in face of the truth for so many years.<br /><br />Madoff was said to operate a Ponzi scheme - but in fact he operated more of an MLM pyramid scheme. The reason why he survived was that his 'downline', the financiers, got almighty huge commissions, and so would never want to question, or cut off their 'success' with Madoff.<br /><br />And now some of those financiers are putting their houses to support Herbalife - ie of course those 'short squeezing' Ackman.<br /><br />And who will get burned (fingers crossed)? Those same idiotic, greedy, corrupt, unethical financiers, along with, unfortunately, their clients (at least it wont be just their clients this time).Joehttp://justanordinaryjoe.comnoreply@blogger.com
