Bingo!! I’ve identified them all then

What a load of twaddle that woman talks, she’s a right knob.

Broke has split from his girlfriend again and is looking for a house of his own. He's shilling bounce life again the life insurance thing.

He also says he's on ESA, yet he's been saying repeatedly over a number of years how much money he makes from MLM. So basically, the various MLM's he's been a member of have profited from his sickness benefit.

He's having a rough time and I hope he gets healthy for those kids of his.

With most of them, educated or not, it's all words and no substance. They all make things sounds fancy and exciting but it is all smoke and mirrors, much like their perceived lifestyles.

BSintolerant · 14/10/2019 19:20

She might have a PhD but calling her educated is pushing it a bit.

Just what I was thinking @BSintolerant. As for her PhD. At this point I’d like to cite one Gillian McKeith. We know PhD’s not particularly educated from her bot output but do we know that she didn’t download her qualification from a Californian online university (or even one in Utah)? She certainly doesn’t come across as the sharpest knife in the drawer.

The anti mlm message seems to be spreading well

Her PhD is real. As with a lot of qualifications it shows someone has the financial means to study, knows how to do research and write it up with some degree of original thought.

The biggest thing I learnt at uni was how little I’ll ever know. One thing I am sure of is that MLMs are scammy cults.

Broke can piss off as far as I’m concerned. He’s fucked up his life and opportunities time after time after time and now he wants others to stick their hands in their pockets to raise £1200 for his rent and deposit because what he’s entitled to isn’t good enough for him. He’s also a liar. He’s been on benefits for years, despite saying he didn’t claim a penny. He has even commented that doing MLM isn’t “fast cash” to a bot who jokingly suggested he join her, which is the absolute opposite of what he was saying while he was tied up in it. He’s horribly entitled and there are single dads out there working their roe out to support their children while he thinks the world owes him a living.
Most of his health problems are related to the fact he got into a car crash when he was committing crime. He’s been accused of domestic violence many times plus he fucked off to stoke and left his ex with small children when he thought another bot was his key to an easy life. And we all know how that turned out. Picking his kids up in an untaxed, uninsured banger and getting the sack from an actual decent job for posting publicly on Facebook he was going to quit to sell Valentus.

No sympathy.

acatcalledjohn · 14/10/2019 22:21

Not to mention him doing a FB live in his car whilst driving around and actually reading out the responses to that video and admitting he was distracted by the live and had gone the wrong way. I hope someone reported him for it.

I had sympathy for him when he had been admitted to hospital the other week. Sadly, however, it's taken him less than a week to get back to MLM.

Did you see the 'joking' suggestion to his fast cash post "rob a bank" comment, responded to by him with a "don't tempt me"?

Bounce ain't boss and nor are you. Just a crook, and a bad one at that.

BSintolerant · 14/10/2019 22:32

It’s only a matter of time before we see Broke on The Six O’Clock News.

JasperRising · 14/10/2019 23:32

YouokHun These days, PhDs (certainly in the UK) are pretty much all made available online (sometimes you can get a delay of a couple of years). So if you know someone who has studied for a PhD and know the subject, it is pretty easy to go read at least their thesis abstract if you really want.

And any thesis will have been researched and written up over at least 3 years plus had a verbal examination - so quite an admirable achievement really.

MLMsuperfan · 15/10/2019 01:08

I have no doubt her PhD is legit. What irks me is the way she uses her Doctor title outside of the relevant context (academic).

I know someone with the highest ranked academic title you can obtain and he doesn't ever use it outside of an academic context. He tells me it is considered quite pretentious to do so. Marks you out as a poser.

YouokHun · 15/10/2019 08:32

Yep I’m sure it’s legit. I just find any kind of rigorous academic activity hard to square with the hunning activity. Agree @MLMsuperfan it’s considered pretentious and a bit silly to use an academic title out of context except for a medical doctor.

fromdownwest · 15/10/2019 10:02

I don't think anyone is questioning the genuine nature of her PHD.

What I do not like is that it is used to add validity to her MLM business and also her other business designed to milk more money out of the system.

She nay have a PHD, but it is quite apparent that she has spent 90% of her life in academia. The lack of self awareness, interpersonal skills, presentation skills etc are very much lacking. Not what one would expect from a 'business coach'

JasperRising · 15/10/2019 10:55

There was a definite suggestion that her certificate might have been purchased and I think it is only fair to clarify that that was not the case.

I do agree however that having a PhD shouldn't be taken as giving legitimacy to a business that numbers show will lose most people money.

I'm not sure that being in academia automatically means a lack of presentation skills these days! Presenting and lecturing is generally required at some point and most universities will offer presentation training (so that UK students can compete with American students who will have been doing teaching assistant roles throughout their course).

OMG yesterday Broke was too proud to set up a go fund me for rent and today he wants a go fund me to go to Indonesia!

MLMsuperfan · 15/10/2019 14:46

I think broke found the sketchiest job opportunity of all time.

ticktock19 · 15/10/2019 14:48

I was just coming to comment on Brokes latest money making mission 😩. That sounds so dodgy

CodenameVillanelle · 15/10/2019 14:50

I thought that indonesia was extremely strict on drugs! Surely selling cannabis there can't be a real thing?!

BSintolerant · 15/10/2019 15:01

... Six O’Clock News here we come.

SSDGM · 15/10/2019 15:02

Firstly he needs a GFM for his passport. He’s never been so broke in his life.

And there we have it.

I’ve been to Indonesia for work. I had to get a visa just to take part in a conference. Let alone work for a business.
