'Zija's' propaganda has fallen foul of all the conditions which the FTC has recently imposed on the 'Herbalife' racketeers and which senior FTC officials implied would be imposed on all other so-called 'MLM direct selling' companies.<br /><br />It remains to be seen what the FTC will actually do to tackle the wider 'MLM' phenomenon, or rather what it will be allowed to do under the administration of 'MLM' pitchman, Donald Trump.David Brearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122471861776758998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762286463497378104.post-66129944282859079442016-12-04T21:34:51.678+01:002016-12-04T21:34:51.678+01:00Here in Canada Veema and FHTM teams have moved ove...Here in Canada Veema and FHTM teams have moved over to Zija.

THAT'S when FHTM began to focus on recruiting rather than customers. Ruel and his organization bankrupted Excel Communications before they left there too.

They are always convinced that no one is controlling them and that their group cannot possibly be a cult instigated by manipulative criminals.<br /><br />For a long time, I have been saying that the techniques employed by cults, constitute a form of damaging psychological experiment forbidden by the Nuremberg Code. <br /><br />Please feel free to send me your contact details in another comment (these will not be posted).<br /><br />David Brearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122471861776758998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762286463497378104.post-69079319984327051552014-03-20T23:23:12.570+01:002014-03-20T23:23:12.570+01:00My ear was bent and twisted to fork over about $40...My ear was bent and twisted to fork over about $400.00 to get involved with this scheme.

All of the truth ...The memoir is finally available. All of the truth telling about the internal workings of FHTM as a corrupt and Ponzi type MLM is available. Whistle-blower Joseph Isaacs, who was made famous by exposing the Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing (FHTM) pyramid scheme and fraud back in 2010 has just released his memoir called, “Skapegoat – the FHTM Blame Game Story” via Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C43JKQG or in paperback via https://www.createspace.com/4227088 This compelling, true and personal, story is about a successful semi-retired 30+ year entrepreneur that turned whistle-blower after getting involved with an illegal Ponzi style MLM called Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing (FHTM) in 2009. Top FHTM leaders and its founder Paul Orberson tried to destroy his life after he developed a FREE Facebook style tool-set for the industry. Subsequent to FHTM receiving their 2nd cease and desist from Montana, he filed a complaint with the Kentucky BBB explaining their fraudulent ways, in an effort to get reimbursement for unwanted inventory. Shortly thereafter they make him the global scapegoat for everything bad happening to FHTM. Mr. Isaacs was hit with a frivolous lawsuit claiming trademark violation for marks they never owned. The “fortune mark” is owned by Time, Inc. and FHTM was under an order to stop using it themselves. This was a foolish attempt to gag him and stifle his "Freedom of Speech" rights to prevent FHTM from being further branded as an "Illegal Pyramid Scheme". The stress of the harassing litigation caused multiple life-threatening heart attacks. Mr. Isaacs almost died in 2011 from the heart issues caused by FHTM. This story will keep you mesmerized by the deceit, sexual harassment, lies, judicial manipulation, influence peddling and the drama that unfolds over the next couple of years.Skapegoathttp://www.joseph-isaacs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7762286463497378104.post-89131849934482821822013-04-04T14:01:21.254+02:002013-04-04T14:01:21.254+02:00Whistle-blower Joseph Isaacs (www.joseph-isaacs.co...Whistle-blower Joseph Isaacs (www.joseph-isaacs.com), who was made famous by exposing the Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing (FHTM) pyramid scheme and fraud back in 2010 has just released his memoir called, “Skapegoat – the FHTM Blame Game Story” via Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C43JKQG<br />This compelling, true and personal, story is about a successful semi-retired 30+ year entrepreneur that turned whistle-blower after getting involved with an illegal Ponzi style MLM called Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing (FHTM) in 2009.
