Here's another good bit, from Eye's report:-
"DOJ Prosecutor Corey Ellis began his closing argument to the jury with the statement, "Every fraud has a fairy tale." Zeek's, he explained, was about the most popular and profitable online auction the world had ever seen, able to generate 1.5% profit for its participants every day, forever and ever, i.e., a goose that lays golden eggs.
Herbalife's, he could have also said, is about a magical powder that cures all manner of ailments while also providing eternal and "unlimited income" to all those who pay to become "Supervisors" and find others to follow in their footsteps, i.e., a magic beanstalk leading to a treasure in the sky.
To maintain the fairy tales, both Herbalife and Zeek have relied on an elaborate game of words, which the MLM "industry" has made into an art form. As the FTC Complaint against Herbalife documented, when investigators began examining its operations Herbalife started renaming its independent contractors "members" (which is the opposite of independent contractor) but it resulted in no actual change. Earlier, Herbalife changed the title of most distributors to "discount buyers" (which is the opposite of a distributor) but it resulted in no actual change. Both word changes were to fool regulators about the money transfer and to hide from them the reality of a massive income scheme disguised as "direct selling."
Question is, what is FL's "fairy tale"? Or Ariix's? Or JP's? More like a fucking nightmare tale
