- It's a pyramid scheme
No its not, it's a reverse funnel system

My wife's friend sold this and she let me use some kind of shaving paste that smelled like weed. It was the most amazing shave I have ever had.

They don't make money at all, actually. Over 99% lose money, with some really losing their asses.

What ultimately happens is the top of the top bleed a company dry, then move their downlines with them to the next miracle cure company.

Google "Chapter 7: MLM's ABYSMAL NUMBERS - Federal Trade Commission" and read the paper.

The MLM's you speak of have an actual product, and they sell that product to the general public. That pretty much makes it NOT a pyramid scheme.



That's their way of not getting shite down by the feds, dumbass. Otherwise, it's illegal. So they offer miracle cures instead. Still not sure how that's legal. Cure all pill!

Ok...? I was only explaining why it wasn't a pyramid scheme. I don't see why that makes me a dumbass, but whatever.

I'm not condoning/promoting the business model. I'm rather indifferent to it.
