I should also add if she does not file her accounts and her LTD company becomes the subject of a compulsory strike off then she will be the third person who was filmed in that documentary to have their company struck off for non filing, of accounts. Two of the Nu Skin people who were filmed undercover (1 male & 1 female) have already been the subject of compulsory strikes offs.

So the MLM world seems to be buzzing with the Go-Pro challenge. Broke has joined in with "three things you think of when you think of him".

Pathetic
Broke
Pothead

Surprisingly none of them appear in the comments from his adoring fan club.

Does anyone remember a Bot who came to prominence in FL and then did a big move to Ariiiiiix and claimed she was bullied and trolled when she moved? Anyway for some reason I decided to look at her FB page and she’s selling something else but I can’t work out what it is. Also she’s making big health claims about people’s IBS disappearing and halving their fibromyalgia medication. Is that legal?

Sforsh49 · 12/11/2020 21:56

Brokes bossing it with his £43.20 order this week. The side hustle is clearly the new job security at that rate!!

acatcalledjohn · 12/11/2020 22:02

@Tupperwarelid Do you mean smoked rasher bot?

She's with B-Epic now https://www.bepic.com/0

fitgirl26 · 12/11/2020 22:20

Aren't Rasher Bot and Sacked sworn mortal enemies? And what happened to that shouty bloke that ran Ariiiiiiiiiiiiix?

Tupperwarelid · 12/11/2020 22:23

She’s the one yes. Does Ariiiiiix still exist?

9dartfinish2nd · 13/11/2020 09:35

Rasher's accounts were last published in August 2020 and don't appear to be anything life changing either.

Looking at the bigger picture you really wonder how much longer the top bots who were around during the boom years of 2015/16 can justify the involvement in this shit any longer, goodness knows what all the "retired" husbands who had to go back to work must be thinking now.

watnochequeagain · 13/11/2020 09:42

It's turned into a shambles for a lot of them I would have thought, Castle's DH is driving a van, Yawn's is back to work, Homeschool's is living alone driving a van, BFF's is working .. the list goes on ...

BSintolerant · 13/11/2020 10:15

What does Mr Yawn do for a living?

BSintolerant · 13/11/2020 10:39

No shade meant but both yawn and nurse seem to have gained a fair bit of weight over the past year. They aren't the only ones god knows but just as you wouldn't ask a man who delivers groceries for a living how to make a 6 figure income, why would you ask a woman who is chubbier than you how to lose weight??

Exactly! @CodenameVillanelle - it’s like the Emperor’s New Clothes isn’t it? Yawn’s downlines must be so desperate and brainwashed if they haven’t asked themselves why Yawn doesn’t look like she’s benefited from repeatedly doing C9s. The only benefit Yawn is gaining out of this scam is that her downlines are making her pockets heavier. I think FL bots are supposed to tell people that C9s are a “cleanse” even though this is a load of tripe because your liver takes care of that sort of thing.

I doubt if Weird Willy Wanker has ever made a penny from his coaching. Why would anyone ask a delivery driver to coach them to make a six figure income?

First rule of advertising: sell the sizzle, not the steak.

Some bots look like they’ve eaten the entire cow and the six-figure coach has delivered it to their door.

fromdownwest · 13/11/2020 12:08

I see that the castle clan are having an online 'fund raiser' where they will talk all things weight loss, health and beauty. They will stop at nohting to flog a bit of their overpriced tat.

Spongebobette · 13/11/2020 12:27

Is boiled mince a Thing in some parts of the country?

TwinsetAndPearlss · 13/11/2020 12:49

@BSintolerant this is at the heart of the problem

Why would anyone ask a delivery driver to coach them to make a six figure income?

But also why would a delivery driver see themselves as on a position to coach somebody on earning a 6 figure income?

fromdownwest · 13/11/2020 12:52

@twinsetandpearlss - This always crosses my mind when I see them.

Is it just out righ narcacissim, that they believe that they are better than those around them, and have blocked out the reality?

Or are they just opportunists, knowing full well that they offer no value, just do it to fleece unsuspecting folk.

I think that the glory years of MLM have programmed them to believe that they are truly worth, what they were once paid.

BSintolerant · 13/11/2020 13:57

@Spongebobette One of my relatives (who was from the North West of England) used to boil mince because her little Jack Russell was a very fussy eater. They both enjoyed tripe too. You’d never catch either of them doing a C9 though! Grin

@TwinsetAndPearlss I suspect Weird Willy was subjected to brainwashing when he was a Forever Fibbing bot and he saw a cynical way of exploiting vulnerable folk when he got his feet under the table with Homeschool - I think he viewed her downline as easy prey. When your six figure cash cow ends up bankrupt, your relationship goes tits up and you have to move into a small flat (with Basil) it’s a case of needs must.

My grandpa sells condoms to sailors
He pierces them all with a pin
My grandma does backstreet abortions
My God - how the money rolls in!

... until it doesn’t and you have to get a job.

Sforsh49 · 13/11/2020 14:35

@Spongebobette I can honestly say in the North West that boiling mince isn't a thing. Can't speak for the midlands though......

Spongebobette · 13/11/2020 14:52

It is extraordinary that a delivery driver in a small rented flat is broadcasting to the world that he has the answers to how to create a 7 figure income

AND that people take him and his ‘programme’ seriously

Sleaze is going to get Matt Hancock arrested.

I'm assuming he was personally responsible for Dominic Cummings' resignation?

spanfan · 13/11/2020 21:38

SSDGM · 13/11/2020 22:09

Is Yawn still a gluten free vegan or did she get bored of that?

CompleteBarstool · 13/11/2020 22:34

I'm not sure which worries me more .....the overweight bots pushing fat burners for weight loss or the super slim ones who are runners, go to the gym, run around after 4 kids and seem to live on nothing but coffee and fat burners (yes, looking at you Castle's BFF)
