How did Uber go straight to zero without passing through sad yoga mat?

mlmingaheartbeat · 14/04/2020 15:44

Manbot gets his money from a downline in the Nordics so I understand. Another Big cheque regular - so if he got a big cheque, Manbot benefits massively.
I figure this year must be no different. He's in Bloodsucker team so he helps her too.

Manbot was at the right place at the right time all those years ago it appears as he is not so special.
The only reason Uber would request a private cheque is that the fall in money would be that great that it would be embarrassing for all to see - and no amount of explanation would cover it.
Most of her team have pulled a fat zero - her big hitters from years past no longer are raking in the cash - the UK has fallen another place down the pecking order and the world sees the true cost of being in a MLM.

Where is a list of all the CB cheques?

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 14/04/2020 16:01

I'm positive Uber qualified for CB. However as so many of her downline who previously qualified got nothing this year I'm guessing that she got about 1/4 of what she got last year.

Andpiglettoo · 14/04/2020 16:02

Did Welsh Rarebot get anything?

ticktock19 · 14/04/2020 16:06

@Andpiglettoo she got about $33,000 so about £25/26K

Norma27 · 14/04/2020 16:09

If Uber did receive anything, it definitely won't pay off that director's loan.

BangingOn · 14/04/2020 16:13

Running in late to this so a huge thank you for the commentary. I am really intrigued as to what is going on with Uber- can she really have fallen to nothing?! I can’t believe FL UK wouldn’t recut the bonuses or make some other manoeuvres behind the scenes to make sure their poster girl got something. I am also really surprised they let her receive it privately, very strange. I’m sure Castle wishes she had received hers privately too!

DownThePan · 14/04/2020 16:14

They made have made a special concession for Uber to get her cheque privately although that seems unlikely. I can't believe it's really gone from a big amount to zero though.

BSintolerant · 14/04/2020 16:16

Uber can’t have got much this year otherwise she’d be crowing about it. Has Yawn gone into hiding with her minions on virtual Spinalonga? Grin

ticktock19 · 14/04/2020 16:17

Taken from Ubers stories which she put up 30 mins ago...I'm guessing this is someone else's random amount..she must be gutted to have asked (if that's true) to be allowed to 'celebrate' with family and miss out on her online glory

@ticktock19 I think that's the total amount given in cheques.

fromdownwest · 14/04/2020 16:23

WOW - Just been for a run and come back to this!

Few thoughts:

  • Ha Ha Castle. The next set of accounts will be fun for her
  • Yawn - That giant directors loan is looking very scary now
  • Bruv - He is quite the simple one isn't he, whooping at EVERYONE else getting cheques and bigging up the company whilst he gets
nowt. JL Bot - She won't see much of that cheque after HMRC find out Uber - I think she has got a cheque, just massively dropped. I believe she still has some power in her ranks and probably sold the old 'if they see how low my cheque is, it will demoralize the masses' Castle does not have the above power anymore, she is a FL has been. Really not the poster girl she was.

All in all, its going to be a very very long year for these guys financially.

All these cheuqes will have to have income tax or dividend tax paid on them. Se even if it has been earmarked for other costs, they will have to find the tax from somewhere.

Taxation will be horrific over the coming years to pick up the tab for Corona expenses, I imagine rolling over directors loans indefinatley will be thing of the past. I can see the government giving HMRC a LOT of power and teeth to collect what is owed.

All in all, they are all on borrowed time. The music has stopped, and they are left holding their gigantic loans, and mortgages and flash cars.

ticktock19 · 14/04/2020 16:27

@dickiedavisthunderthighs 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ of course..i read it as £17K! Much appreciated

Bluewavescrashing · 14/04/2020 16:33

I read it as 17k too 😊

Spongebobette · 14/04/2020 16:37

Are you both Priti Patel 😂

ticktock19 · 14/04/2020 16:38

Hahaha @Spongebobette, no, thankfully I'm not 😂

9dartfinish2nd · 14/04/2020 16:46

Would it be too speculative to assume that hadn't FLP pulled the rug under from the mid/lower bots last year in Stockholm this would have probably have happened to Uber 12 months ago?

mlmingaheartbeat · 14/04/2020 17:00

That amount is the share of the pot this year. A couple of years ago it was at $32 million so the pot sharing has halved, which in turn shows that FL has lost money globally too in a short space of time.
If this is not a wake up call - considering HMRC will now be looking at Directors loans to recoup money - I would be shitting myself if I had a large company loan right about now...John Lewis Bot was just the start - you will be Forever Owing with no feasible way of paying it off save bankrupty...

BangingOn · 14/04/2020 17:02

One of Uber’s fan girls has posted a photo on Uber’s timeline that looks like a screenshot of the rally with Uber’s photo and 5848 in the corner- what does that refer to?

Ladiva1971 · 14/04/2020 17:04

That was the 60min countdown timer to the start of the rally and the video was showing different FBO's

BangingOn · 14/04/2020 17:22

Dammit, I was getting all excited that it was a clue. I will get a grip now Blush

Jonsey32 · 14/04/2020 17:32

I just don’t get how she could have gone down to zero?! I thought we’d worked out months ago that she has qualified for a cheque?

CompleteBarstool · 14/04/2020 17:43

Wow! Uber's cheque must have been embarrassingly low for FL to agree to a "private" reveal/celebration.

How old that have worked if the rally had gone ahead on stage?
What would happen if the others want a private reveal too?
Next year could be fun if nobody wants their pitiful cheques revealed!
