Exactly as in 'Scientology,' according to the closed-logic 'MLM' controlling narrative, any criminal, and/or unethical, act committed by any adherent(s) is entirely the responsibility of the individual adherent(s) and not that of the 'MLM' organisation or of its leadership. When criminal, and/or unethical, acts are exposed and cannot be denied, the 'MLM' bosses, and/or their apologists, systematically point to their smokescreen 'contracts', 'rules,' and 'codes of ethics,' and pretend that they cannot be expected to police every independent business owner/distributor at all times.
