Annie65 What is both frightening and laughable, is that (due to the unpaid determined efforts of persons such as myself) UK regulators and law enforcement agents have been aware of 'MLM income opportunity' cultic racketeering (and how it spreads like a cancer preying on the ill-informed and vulnerable) for many years. Yet these same regulators and law enforcement agents, have done effectively-nothing to warn their employers, the UK public, let alone try to stop this type of highly-organized, unlawful enterprise, or hold the racketeers behind it, to account.
The near total absence of well-informed and determined civil regulation, and criminal law enforcement, around the world, has been used by a syndicate 'MLM' racketeers to make it appear to their victims, and to casual observers, that so-called 'MLM income opportunities' can't possibly be unlawful.
I personally feel that, in respect of 'MLM' racketeering, the terms 'regulators' and 'law enforcement agents,' have long since become a grotesque inversion of reality.
Indeed, it took the efforts of a $19 billions hedge fund manager (along with a staff of attorneys, researchers and analysts) to get an investigation of the 'Herbalife' racket launched in the USA, and almost two years later, the 'Herbalife' racket is still operating in plain sight - complete with former senior US federal (so-called) 'law enforcement agents' on the payroll.
