mobiousgeek - In answer to your question - I haven't seen my brother for more than 20 years. As far as I know, he stopped being an Ambot around 15 years ago, but he's almost certainly still in complete denial. At one time, he even pretended (in a deposition to French court) that he had 'never been involved with Amway' and that 'he believed I had.' Amazingly, this was when my brother was still an Ambot and I was deeply-involved in complaining to the UK government about 'Amway'.
Fortunately, at that time, I'd obtained a recent 'Amagram' magazine with my brother's picture in it (and an explanation of his pathetic rank in the hierarchy). Without that evidence, I could not have proved that my brother was lying.
I think my brother has told so many lies, over all these years, about his 'Amway' involvement and about me, that he now believes them all to be the truth. Even before 'Amway,' my brother was a shallow character with narcissistic tendencies; so he probably will never voluntarily face up to the destruction he inflicted on his family and friends.
Although it seems too absurd to be true, 20 years ago, I was told by my own mother that I would no longer exist in her eyes if I went to the UK government to complain about 'Amway', because I was 'trying to destroy my brother's business out of jealously' and that I 'needed psychiatric treament.'
Sbsequently, I went to the government to complain, and was effectively murdered.
Prior to my mother's death in 2004, the hold which my brother, and his 'Amway' handlers, retained over her mind and property, was absolute. This hold depended entirely on cutting my mother off from external reality and character-assassinating me.
