What's happening is exactly what happened to my in-laws.
These companies need people to operate. Without people, they don't make money. Body by Vi, for instance requires their "workforce" to pay $39/month for a website and propaganda magazine (called "Success") and buy $125 worth of products. You have to sell $500 worth of products just to break even, and the average distributor sells under $450.
In order to get people, they need people to react. People react to success. Big houses, flashy cars, etc. Ever wonder why Mary Kay "gives" a pink Cadillac and Body by Vi "gives" a black BMW 5 series to their top people? Its because people look at the BMW and they want it.
Technically, both places do not give the cars, they give the people a bonus as long as they hit certain numbers that will cover a lease payment that you have to secure personally.
My only expertise is the research and time that I had to spend bailing my in-laws out. They lost their jobs, home, cars, and friends because people just got tired of them always pushing crap on them.
Just be careful. Like I said, if a company profits from its employees more than its products, then something is afoot.

guess I just don't see why so many people give the industry a bad reputation. Its pretty black and white to me - talk to people about your product, if they like it, great, if not, thats fine as well; just don't go bashing the industry because someone you know had a bad experience.

The company that I joined is relatively new by industry standards (2 years old) and not many people have heard about it.
Ya, Nerium still seems to be growing quite a bit. If you get in early you can make good money for a while, just not forever. Hard to say what part of the growth curve they are on though.
