I mostly like to recline in my power

JackDelaney · 22/10/2020 21:09

I don't get how they link Covid, 5G and saving the children all in the same protest. It's a bizarre mix to try and get a coherent theme going.

I don't know what else can be done about someone like this.

He gets his supply from his degenerate facebook followers who give him enough positive validation to keep him doing this. To the point where it's now consuming his whole life.

Isn't it weird how he didn't give a shit about saving children while he was scamming people in his pyramid schemes and crypto scams. Now he's some kind of hero who only cares about the children.

He needs to be stopped but there's nothing that can be done.

Facebook is a sess pool for these types of people to grow in power and numbers.

I think the whole Wig and Sleaze thing is relevant to this thread even if it may have slid off on a bit of a tangent with the inclusion of their mate Coco.
It demonstrates the hold that the MLM "leaders" have on their downline. I recognise a lot of the people who have fallen down the rabbit hole with them from previous Crypto scams (remember GCC?) and the fact that Kate Winslet will be playing a woman who was a serial MLM scammer and portraying her as a hero is a bit 😳. There is a post about OneCoin on Behind MLM where she comments (the woman not Kate) and says how fantastic Wig and Sleaze are even though they went on to drag people into multiple further scams.
Other "leaders" like Messiah and Sacked are also pulling their followers into the whole conspiracy theory shit. Luckily Broke doesn't know his arse from his elbow, one minute he's partying, the next he's saying he's pulling his kids out of school due to the risk.

Sforsh49 · 23/10/2020 19:50

Broke has posted some photos on his new bizniz page, which he wants to promote by word of mouth not paid ads (probably because he can't afford them). One of the photos shows a table he has drawn in a notebook. He is tracking interaction on his FB posts with the column headings of Name, likes, reactions, comments, inbox. I'm guessing so he can message you if you interact with him.....

Hunbot · 23/10/2020 19:51

Coco is effectively rent a mob. There is a face book group called blocked by (name) and he is putting his personal bank details down 'to continue fighting to save our children'. Previously it was to fight against fracking, people paid him upfront to do a sky dive - it never happened. Someone posted a picture of a message where coco was literally hiring out himself and his group as a protest mob. He is a massive scammer

Twentytwentyhindsight · 23/10/2020 20:41

Coco is a serial conman who has spotted a niche in latching onto causes, blustering his way into a position of high visibility (the clown suit is a prop for this), then rattling the collection bucket for the 'fighting fund' (to be paid into his personal account, of course. Whether it's for a sponsored skydive, repairs to the 'battlevan' or whatever, it doesn't matter- it's how he makes his living.
Times must be tough in the Cryptoscam sphere if Wig'n'Sleaze have decided that their best 'opportunity' is to hitch their trailer to his wagon and tour the country living off his scraps...

Spongebobette · 23/10/2020 22:30

Ah. Live from WW in his ‘small flat’

That’s it then

BSintolerant · 23/10/2020 22:45

Is there enough room in his small flat to stand in his power?

You’d think someone who claims to coach people to make seven figures would themselves be making millions and living in a luxurious penthouse. Mmm ...

Norma27 · 23/10/2020 22:58

I also make seven figures and live in a studio flat and deliver groceries.
Nothing wrong at all with studio flats and being a delivery driver, but if I earned seven figures I would probably have a different lifestyle.
Sign me up dungaree willy!

BSintolerant · 23/10/2020 23:01

But do you stand (in your power) and deliver groceries in your dungarees?

ticktock19 · 23/10/2020 23:06

Very interesting live from WW...still wearing his wedding ring but that live sounded like he's only living with Basil right now

BSintolerant · 23/10/2020 23:09

I hope he doesn’t put him in the ratatouille.Wink

YouokHun · 23/10/2020 23:20

Nowt wrong with small flats and delivery driving for a supermarket, it only becomes worth commenting on when you’re telling everyone else that you know the secrets to a six figure income.

Do any of you stand in your power, delivering groceries whilst wearing dungarees AND saluting AND gaslighting your female followers ALL AT THE SAME TIME?! I know I couldn’t manage it.

I still think it will come to light that he’s been leaving his dungarees on a bedroom floor that is the bedroom floor of someone other than the Choc Chicken Cartilage magnate, and that is why he’s got to stand in his power in a small flat with his basil plant.

acatscauldron · 23/10/2020 23:31

Homeschool will be starfishing in the kingsize bed tonight I'm guessing.

Could only manage just over half of WW's live. Gaslighting is exactly it, he wouldn't know six figures if it hit him in the face, let alone seven.

I love fresh basil but you know how we attach meaning to certain things...?

Yeah.

BSintolerant · 24/10/2020 00:07

Whenever I think of Basil I think of Basil Brush, Basil Fawlty, or Manuel’s pet rat (also called Basil) which he thought was a Syrian hamster.

I know a Basil from Syria. He’s definitely not a rodent although he’s a bit of a pest. Grin

ticktock19 · 24/10/2020 00:15

Lol...we must be around the same age @BSintolerant as those are my exact Basil references too 😂. My friend had a cat called Basil and I could never call him without impersonating Sybil Fawlty...

Be mindful of the meaning you talk absolute shite 🌿

SSDGM · 24/10/2020 09:28

The Business Bombshells are proving themselves as verrr verrr profesh businesswomen once again with their interactions with Ms Sponlie. One of their top bots claimed to earn £13k in the first three weeks and ITS NOT A PYRAMID SCHEME.

Interesting stuff last night from the ex top Poonique bot who played some frankly astounding voice notes send from a welsh Younique upline to someone who joined the business as a “kidnapper” they were almost sinister.

Cruel World Happy Mind has also directly dealt with the anti MLM drama and put a certain other YouTuber right in her place by saying what we had all been thinking for a while.

Just a few things to watch/ listen to while we stand in our power cleaning our small flats and delivering groceries 😃

CompleteBarstool · 24/10/2020 10:01

That's the first Live of WW's that I've managed to watch in it's entirety.

He's all over the place isn't he.

Spongebobette · 24/10/2020 10:33

He has the same vibe as a lot of bots who jump ship to another MLM and suddenly disclose how miserable they were/ had no income/ were in a toxic downline/ were faking everything but have now SUDDENLY DISCOVERED THE TRUTH AND A GUARANTEED WAY TO MAKE 6 FIGURES.
Until the next time.

BSintolerant · 24/10/2020 10:59

On Weird Willy’s website (which is all very “Me! Me! Me!” rather than what he can do for potential clients) he boasts about becoming “a Specialist in this field - often helping Counselors [sic], Psychotherapists, Psychologists, Judges, Detectives ALL discover that they too were in Emotionally Abusive Marriages and UNDERSTAND that their Low Self-Esteem was the CORE ISSUE. The POINT I'm making is that not many people know this stuff - even the 'Professionals' in their fields 😳”

From what I’ve seen of his lives (especially the creepy, controlling ones with Homeschool) he’s the one who needs help from a professional therapist.

The way he puts the word professional in quotes suggests that he doesn’t think they’re professional. Professional therapists have to undergo years of therapy themselves before they can practise. I doubt Weird Willy has undergone therapy. Is he even qualified?

Some of the things he talks about on his website serve as a dire warning as to how much damage network marketing / MLMs / Direct sales (or whatever the DSA wants to call pyramid schemes these days) does to people’s lives.

Spongebobette · 24/10/2020 11:08

Who needs fully trained experts or professionals who are accredited if you stumble upon WW who has a ‘system’

Changedname32 · 24/10/2020 11:42

He talked a lot but actually said nothing. It was supposed to be deep and meaningful but just made no sense!

Spongebobette · 24/10/2020 11:56

I confidently expect an emotional live by Homeschool at some point when she’s worked out how to spin a marriage breakup into an inspirational ‘join my team’ story
