Lets keep monitoring these pesky MLMs, shining a light on their nefarious activities, and supporting bots who realise the truth and need support.

Here's some information about crypto currencies from our MLM expert in exile. Eye know you will find it interesting.

If MN members would like a plain explanation of how crypto-currency closed-market swindles (aka pyramid scams) function, invite them on my behalf, to take a look at this tragicomic UK civil court case from 2006.

pyramidschemealert.org/PSAMain/news/TreasureTraders.UK.Case.pdf

In the case of 'Treasure Traders,' the crypto-currency had tangible specificity i.e. it comprised little bags of effectively-valueless gem-stone chips (bought for pennies) which the 'MLM' racketeers peddled for an outrageously-inflated controlled-price (thousands of pounds).

These latest crypto-currency 'MLM' rackets are virtually identical to 'Treasure Traders,' the only differences being you can't actually get your hands on the totally-valueless wampum which the 'MLM' racketeers are peddling for an outrageous price which they control.

In all cases, 'MLM' victims are deceived into regularly buying the effectively-unsaleable wampum at inflated controlled-prices, because they are led to believe that by doing so and recruiting others to do the same, they will eventually receive an unlimited reward. Almost anything (provided it is cheap, and/or easy, to procure) can be used as wampum to launder the unlawful losing-investment payments into closed-market swindles

See some of the FL bonus checks have been opened. As expected less than last year

cozietoesie · 06/04/2017 20:31

Ah. By much do you know?

Whatsaldigottodowithit · 06/04/2017 20:56

Some of them just under, seen one which is half

Bearbehind · 06/04/2017 21:19

PMSL about the lower amount FL cheques!

I think this is called karma.

If you insist on living your life in the eye of social media, you have to accept you look a prize wanker when your earnings publicly drop!

My bot has posted virtually nothing about Dubai, in stark contrast to last year.

Why don't people see through this and see it for the charade it is?

I'm eagerly awaiting the excuses.

cozietoesie · 06/04/2017 21:49

That's why the 'poster children' will still receive largeish cheques. Smile

(So that people will believe that it's down to them. Sad)

DoratheExplorer17 · 06/04/2017 23:36

The only person I've seen have anything more than last year is castle bots brother. He's doubled his! Most others are either the same as last year or have dropped up to between 20-50%

cozietoesie · 06/04/2017 23:58

These cheques always fascinate me - in particular, the spurious detail of the figures on the 'right hand side' of the decimal point. (As if they really had such a clear method of working it out. And had decided not to 'round them'. )

Spongebobette · 07/04/2017 09:09

These rallies seem to go on for days.

Spongebobette · 07/04/2017 09:14

Stokeflatbot is all over the place with his atttraction marketing
One minute buzzing with energy (due to magic coffee beans), the next 'falling asleep in the day'
If he's 'being the product' it's not very attractive

fitgirl26 · 07/04/2017 10:24

According to Stokeflatbot all you need to do to lose weight is drink a cup of the new magic coffee a day, get plenty of water and have a healthy balanced diet. So as with all the wampum you could remove the coffee and lose weight by getting plenty of water and having a healthy balanced diet. Also it's "pure caffeine" which is healthy. Ok then.....
In the meantime Stokeflatbot's previous business partner who he rather publically fell out with a couple of weeks ago is heavily pushing GCC Cryptocurrency. It's backed by 3D technology like Rolls Royce doncha know?

GrimDamnFanjo · 07/04/2017 10:27

The FL Livestream is currently, er, live foreverliving.com/page/livestream?clearDisclaimer=true

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 07/04/2017 10:37

In the whole scheme of things Castlebot's brother hasn't really been paid that much. It might be double last year but considering the size of his team and the family connections I think he'd have expected a lot more.
I've noticed that the poster children have all singled out one person on their team who've received a cheque rather than their own which is nowhere to be seen...stark contrast on last year!!

MrsGotobed · 07/04/2017 10:58

I'd noticed that too - it's the same few around 11K cheques that keep popping up on various fb pages.

One of those 11K ones being the sister of a big name who will have her hands full soon so I couldn't help but wonder if sister is stepping up her presence whilst big name takes a few minutes maternity leave here and there. What better way for her to take over the mantle and instill confidence than to be a "big cheque earner" Hmm

Spongebobette · 07/04/2017 10:59

Have the top bots received their cheques yet?

Spongebobette · 07/04/2017 11:02

I don't think they have yet.

Just watched a bit of that livestream.

Could not be more culty if they renamed the company Forever Cult

Spongebobette · 07/04/2017 11:06

YOU WILL ALL WEAR WHITE AND YOU WILL ALL SCREAM WHEN WE TELL YOU TO AND YOU WILL STAY CRAMMED TOGETHER FOR HOURS IN ONE PLACE WHILE WE INDOCTRINATE YOU FURTHER

THEN GO HOME AND BRING US MORE CULT MEMBERS

Spongebobette · 07/04/2017 11:11

PS I agree with Cozie that the famous shill bots will still receive huge cheques. They can't be seen to be slipping by all the minions, it would ruin the narrative.
I might be wrong but the headlines are very important so more people can be hooked in

And have been thinking: how much does it actually cost to produce this gloop they sell? If everyone gets a cut, the owner is a billionaire and they spend so much on these huge rallies I think it must be a few cents a pot

MrsGotobed · 07/04/2017 11:11

Scary isn't it?!

Anyone going to volunteer to watch it all and update everyone with the highlights (and cheques amounts of course) ?! Wink

PennyP87 · 07/04/2017 11:36

MrsGotobed
I only have coffee bots on my FB. The worrying thing is I did click on that FL livestream and find myself thinking I could watch until a UK bot appeared for me to follow...Confused

Spongebobette · 07/04/2017 12:14

It is morbidly fascinating MrsGotoBed

Penny if you search on a hashtag with the name of the company and Global Rally 17 it will lead you to lots of bots

Spongebobette · 07/04/2017 12:22

OMG it's still going on!

Where's Rex this year?

Spongebobette · 07/04/2017 12:25

Those poor kids being dragged up on stage. Yuk yuk yuk

Spongebobette · 07/04/2017 12:26

We are up to 100,000 dollar cheques now

This could go on a LONG time before they get to the real biggies

DoratheExplorer17 · 07/04/2017 12:32

The big cheques will probably be tomorrow actually
