@Bluewavescrashing

What's Castle up to these days? 🏰 Wish I hadn't been blocked.

No idea as she blocked me too and I've never understood why as I don't remember ever interacting with her! Maybe it was from the Timeless Vie days.

Yawn's latest instastory is packed with exploitation . Exploiting new mothers, exploiting those worried about job security, exploiting those with money worries and those with health worries that fall for the overpriced products

Sleaze only has one brain cell so it’s not a stretch to think he only has one shirt.

Castle is still global. It would appear that the MLM Law of Reaction is still at work (would’ve thought 5G might’ve killed it off before it revived Shergar) as she recently mentioned her not so Wise Bots from the Middle East.

Is Sleaze’s shirt a shirt of many colours? He might find himself flung down a well by the authorities for uttering weird prophecies.

Castle's family are just proving that, unfortunately, the law of attraction doesn't work, and that MLM does not provide a care-free income.

castle's family member needs 50K for some treatment. It would appear that the income from FLP won't pay for this

There is so much to write about this but it's late and I've had a wine. I don't want Tess it up. 😉

Still no takers for nurse's Unlicensed lottery.

More twisted words from the DSA:

‘Avon lady’ jobs back in fashion

Be interesting to see how Sleaze and the merry band of sooth sayers he is currently fangirling are treated by the Welsh police tomorrow. AFAIK Cardiff is in a local lockdown and therefore not open for visitors. So they’re just breaking the law driving in

@spanfan I have just seen Bruv's insta post. I'm hands down horrified and like you don't know where to begin.

They want £50K for treatment for sis and are fucking crowdfunding it. The people who claim to earn 6 figs from FL, who have a 'lodge', sis herself has just bought her dream home and spent at least that furnishing it, and now they are asking for other people to pay for her treatment?!

They've already got a significant amount of money on gofundme and it almost all from the downlines who we know have got little to spare.

It's absolutely hands-down disgusting.

I think this subject is skating on very thin ice in its content. I really feel we should leave this topic alone.

Absolutely. I was mindful of posting anything.

The point I want to make is that everything they talk about in FLP about huge incomes is a lie.

If between them all they cannot make a dent on a large medical bill then it's clearly not providing the income they project all the time.

In wonderful timing, yawn talks about building a "nest egg" on her recent live. 😂

Going forward, it will be difficult to do the "I'm so rich" attraction marketing posts to followers that have donated to a hardship fund.

Castle got bonus cheques of over $400k two years running! Do they not have any of that left?

Clearly not.

Having said that, it's a horrible situation, I really feel for them. She's so young and she has two teenage sons too, I hope they raise the money and I hope the treatment works.

I wish nobody had to worry about paying for medical treatment.

I hope sister gets the treatment she needs and makes a full recovery.

Castle is a liar and must have bled her parents dry.

Nurse has blocked me 😭

@Bluewavescrashing

Nurse has blocked me 😭

Oh no!!! What did you do??

I may have called her out on effectiveness and safety of ingesting aloe,citing my biology degree and asking for peer reviewed studies as evidence

Couldn't help myself, damnit!

@Harrogate38 I have been given a sex change in the Telegraph article. I did say to that it’s important to note that incentives are paid on downlines’ purchases not sales so it’s a shame that was wrong. I knew the Direct Scamming Society had given the journalist a load of old bollocks, but to say that in 2020 there have been unscrupulous pyramid schemes set up that have behaved badly But are nothing to do with their members completely ignores the member companies who have been exploiting Covid to the absolute maximum: FL, Y, Valentus, Avon, BSatH and Usbourne to name but a few. It’s very dishonest.

I think the article is behind a paywall frustratingly.

@Bluewavescrashing mentioning peer reviewed studies is what did for me too. It seems to particularly upset Nurse though I’m not sure knows what they are.

Feel extremely sorry for Castle’s sister and very much hope her treatment is successful. However @Cacacoisfarraige, you’re saying what I’m thinking and your comment that you would never ask those less well off than you to fund your family especially if the wealth was effectively off the back of those same people is right and honourable and it’s hard to look at Castle’s fundraising page and not feel angry that she’s been so profligate.

I very much hope things improve for your brother and any further treatment goes well.

@YouokHun - Shame about the paywall on the Torygraph article, and a pisser on their misquotes and misgendering- all very frustrating- but thanks for your fabulous work nonetheless.

Regarding Castle & co, I honestly wish them all the best for the treatment, and believe it is a scandal that it is not available on the NHS, but if there was ever proof needed of their shamelessness, here it is. On the one hand 'look at the fabulous lifestyle we can afford', on the other 'please pay for our sister's treatment, as it won't happen otherwise' emotional blackmail...

@Cacacoisfarraige best wishes for your brother's treatment and recovery, I do hope it works out.

I’ve been following castle’s sisters story on insta and genuinely feel sorry for her. She seems quite a positive person and is going through a hell of a time (now has a colostomy and horrendous treatment). BUT this latest fund raising thing has really annoyed me. Between them all they should be able to raise the £50k and castles sister has just had a massive landscaping project done in her garden which would easily be £10k.
The total cynic in me is even wondering if the treatment is genuine (not the cancer as she looks really ill). Anyone know the people involved?

They have raised £20k already and it’s really winding me up now. They are living in a beautiful large new build

The crowdfunding for castles sis just proves that it’s all smoke and mirrors. That clan should be able to grab that 50k from down the back of the sofa if their posts were to be believed.

I can’t believe the cheekiness of them asking considering the money castles sis has spent on that house alone. I’m disgusted.
