According to the beeb they've been summoned to court rather than just getting the minimum fine and investigations are continuing

Sleaze has just commented on FB:

“Police were amazing today so thank you, yes it was us with fines, police really know this is nonsense and were so good with us to be honest, we are on your side two successful Rallies in both capitals with no drama and no arrests...

Lets continue so proud of last two days....”

What a load of cock!

Sleaze was probably disappointed there wasn't a bit of police brutality involved, lending a bit of drama and kudos to his crusade, making him look like some sort of hero instead of the clueless knob he is

Well Wig and Sleaze have made so much money with their Bitcoin scams MLMs that £10,000 will be just a drop in the ocean for them.

The Anti MLM now not Anti MLM bot has seen a 275% reduction in subscribers in the last 30 days. 2.8k people unsubscribed.

Dont bite the hand that feeds you!

Why did the anti MLM bot decide to self-identify as not so anti? Has she been got at? Threatened with legal action? Or was she some sort of double agent bot placed there in a weird attempt to lure ex cult members back in? I just don’t get it.

Perhaps she intends to take her new online business down at network marketing route and needs to distance herself from anti MLM? It will be interesting to hear her business podcasts to see who the business people she now follows are. Might be a load of “coach” type people who aren’t obviously MLM but are feeding off its carcass. I just suspect she is wavering and could easily be pulled back in.

I find all this talk of the anti MLM “community” slightly culty and dangerously close to MLM Think. I think it’s asking too much of a group of people who may only have a dislike of MLM in common and nothing else. I understand why people seek validation in MLM and then when they get burned seek some kind of validation from other anti MLMers but it seems unwise to me. Some of these youtubers reveal too much. I think that if I was running FLP or the like all these squabbles among vocal ex MLM people are exactly what I’d want.

Nurse is on a recruitment drive
She’s looking to work with 10 new people
Good luck with that 🙄

Oh nurse. Read the elle beau blog. You say you only have 3 spaces left to try to create the impression of scarcity so people jump in without thinking to hard about it.

But do read the elle beau blog.

The Wig & Sleaze tour continues this week even though Swansea has restrictions and they've been told not to travel.

Remember you just need to shout "i do not consent" and "maybe join my bitcoin mlm officer" and you will be immune from the law, paying taxes and doing a proper job.

“Edinborough” 😂

@Powerchewings

“Edinborough” 😂

Have you seen the replies to the comment under it? Mummy Sleaze is not happy 😂

Beautiful

That deserved a screenshot before it's deleted.

Urgh, Sleaze and his ego on a road trip to try and find his 15 minutes of fame. He really makes my flesh crawl. There’s a post where he’s giving the typical MLM sob story of how he has grown his confidance (sic) and really the whole tinfoil hat crusade is about him and his quest for attention. I assume his shitcoin empire is running itself and making millions even while he’s delivering incoherent word salad on the Edinbororororough leg of his world tour?

Wig shared this little beauty.

She really is as thick as the nest on her head.

Has Sleaze gone private?

Not a great move if you want to be a public figure and influencer ..

Sleaze has two profiles and one is private - he set the second one up because the Zuch personally banned him from posting lives for a while 😂

Let me tell you the latest on my bot. I’ll call her

She was quite high up in FL, in homeschool’s downline. Had a couple of decent sized cheques a few years ago. Anyway, she decided a couple of years ago to emigrate to Spain and ditch her fancy rented shill house and car for a more ‘simple’ (cheaper) life in a flat in Spain with her four kids and husband.

It doesn’t seem to have gone well for her. Her downline has basically collapsed and she had a spell as a ‘business coach’ which, again, hasn’t gone as well as she expected it to.

She returned to live in her mum’s caravan (with her four kids) last week. She’s a Covid-denying mask-refuser and has been out and about in her home town (also my hometown )completely disregarding any compulsion to self-isolate for 14 days despite people on her Facebook page telling her to do so.

Today she’s announced she’s ditched FL and has joined a new MLM called TS Life, in her little sister’s downline.

Not sure how she’s going to sell that dream lifestyle from a caravan on her mum’s driveway.

I’ll call her CaravanBot

Sleeze is so desperate to be someone, to be relevant. Before it was his MLM/crypto scams, him being an entrepreneur, being successful, wealthy, travelling. Not being part of the rat race.

Now it's very similar rhetoric. About him coming from nothing and now being full of confidence and being a leader. But instead of online scams it's this #sAvEtHeChIlDrEn conspiract theory activism.

The end result is the same though. Loads of facebook posts, loads of approval seeking, loads of passive aggressive put downs to those he wants to feel he's better than. Before it was those with 9-5s, now it's against the sheep who believe in the government's lies.

The guy is so thirsty for attention, so desperate to stand out. He's the most pathetic moron I think I've ever seen.

All this "I feel so blessed to have you all around me" stuff. "love you all so much guys, we can do this".... All these idiots enabling him "You're doing so amazing sleeze" - "keep up the good fight!"

It's all just an ego / attention / reward thing for a very shallow individual.

His whole life and everyone involved in it, is just a train wreck.

She rings a bell @JaniceBattersby, or have quite a few of FLP people gone off to Spain in search of the [cheaper life] sunshine? TS Life is surely the mark of true desperation. How is Mr M still getting away with that particular scam?? How I wish I had access to the Companies House equivalent for Dublin based businesses.

Homeschool’s only got 3 weeks until she can really Smash It without the rather unbeady eye of the Insolvency Agency watching her.

Having been no stranger to allegations of plagiarism it probably won't have come as much of a shock to MLM motivational guru Rachel Hollis that she is now facing a lawsuit filed by a company called Manna for Life, they accuse her of infringing the trademark phrase "Made For More"

The former Lularoe consultant turned Anti-MLM campaigner Roberta Blevins has incredibly detailed information on her FB page should anyone like to review further.

I’m doing some testing for a company and one of the products is a foundation for an MLM.

I can’t tell you how disappointed I am that a company who champions women would include this company in their profile.

A large part of my feedback will centre around this.

TS Life is the proper bargain bin of MLM, without the bargain bit. I went down a rabbit hole of some of its reps recently, and I'd saying living in a caravan is pretty aspirational for a lot of them.

Homeschool has been alluding to 'challenges we're going through as a family' recently, which definitely coincides with Daddy and his dungarees being mysteriously absent from her FB lives.

@JaniceBattersby could you give some clues for caravan bot please. I'm curious to know who that is?

Mmm, I haven’t been looking too much at Homeschool so didn’t spot that @dickiedavisthunderthighs. I see WW has now come out as “Helping people in Network Marketing break-through the 6-figure barrier” so is no longer hiding his agenda behind his special brand of therapy. Perhaps it’s all change on the homeschool front?
