Yawn will have done what castle done …
because their businesses were registered as Mrs and Mr xyz they deregister themselves so they can do what they want because what they are doing risks flp deregistering them both = no money .By taking their name off the registration the business is then only in mr yawns name , she can carry on doing her silly gemstone ponzu scheme and flp supposedly can’t do anything about it = “mr yawn” can still collect bonus every month

If the rumours are true - well actually it's fact now - but breaking news..... FLP to close it's USA offices !!!

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN ??

Effectively FLP are pulling out of Network Marketing! They were up against the regulatory FTC commission and decided that they didn't have the appetite to fight it so they close the US office because the son of the founder and heir to the throne is spineless!!

To close the office - The company headquarters and in a country that is home to network marketing is a bombshell - basically if I was a distributor now I would be bricking it as new filters through around the globe.

What trust would I have that my business was safe?

It is predicted that many will start to leave FLP globally in line to try and save their downlines - big hitters will see monthly incomes plummet as people lose faith in the company leaders steering the ship forwards.

There has been news of infighting amongst the leadership, mainly about inheritance and the billions left by the original founder - the existing leadership realised that after year on year, sales have flatlined the business is not growing and steering a multibillion operation required strong leadership and someone with the same passion the original founder displayed is lacking.

What does this mean for FLP UK?

From Bloodsucker, Uber, Exbff (bpt) Yawn, et al - incomes will dwindle or stop - how long this will take is hard to tell - pivoting to something new will be hard for most - but essentially many can see FLP closing shop shortly as you don't close you business headquarters for no reason - and expect your other global offices not be spooked. Remember the head office organises the trips, admin and finances most of the operation - plus pays the money to the FBO's.

To say you are about to witness the destruction and death of FLP is an understatement... remember where you saw it first sports

thebottingrambler · 04/04/2026 12:58

More news no doubt will filter through as the MLM industry wake up to the news, because FLP is a sizable business - but it will definitely cause concern among FBO's leaders around the world!

has Castle still got the puppy or has it disappeared like the pony

I often wonder what happened to the pony. Not seen anything about it for months. Another impulse buy because smallest turret showed an interest for all of five minutes.

YouOKHun · 03/04/2026 22:51

@Crwysmam I wish I could see that post as I’d be really interested to see what qualifications she has too. I am not confident that anyone taken in by Yawn has enough about them to be able to do the necessary training (or have the right core profession).

She has no website which to me is suspicious. She only has a FB and Instagram presence. I can find no qualifications attached to either site. She appears to travel around organising pop up “clinics” around the country selling autism and ADHD assessments, frequently discounting the fee. She styles herself as a parenting coach/councillor. So another “coaching” scam by the look of it.

The depths these people will go to is terrible. A private diagnosis is pretty worthless and it is possible that this sort of business is the reason why.

YouOKHun · 04/04/2026 13:39

Wow, that is massive news re Forever Living. I wonder if the likes of Uber will try and style it out as a little local difficulty in the US? It’s news that needs to reach bots at the lowest level or those about to sign up. They’re the ones who will lose out if the shutters suddenly come down in the UK.

Spongebobette · 04/04/2026 13:46

The FBO page is being flooded with individual videos of bots holding up gloop and saying ‘Week 1, I’m in’

This is some sort of engagement campaign by Mr Scamopoloulis I assume

His last video was typically overexcited and slightly desperate. I wonder if he’ll inform the UK downlines about what’s happened in the US?

ticktock19 · 04/04/2026 13:48

Wow, that’s a decision and a half by the FL exec team.

thebottingrambler · 04/04/2026 14:42

Many country managers will not have been told of the decision initially as it could cause chaos among the ranks, but the news will soon filter down as you don't close your US operation lightly.

Being in the land of the free etc... it's really a seismic shift as some MLM commentators and watchers are starting to report. It would not fill any new prospects with any confidence - not seeing a US led operation without a US base or office. Why would you join?

I'm sure they will put a positive spin on it to calm the nerves - but I can imagine - there will be some anxious people around wondering which office will close next!

YouOKHun · 04/04/2026 14:45

@SpongebobetteI was looking at that “I’m in” campaign to get the bots buying and drinking as much aloe Vera as they can. Not a hint of the news from the US, just the usual pressure to be their own best customer and recruit others to be the same. I wonder how many potential bots would actually think again if they were made aware of what is going on in the US? Scamaloupolis must be aware.

YouOKHun · 04/04/2026 14:48

@thebottingrambler it has to be the kiss of death surely?! I hope so.

Spongebobette · 04/04/2026 14:49

Tbh (and a bit cruel) the calibre of the bots who are posting does not exactly seem to be ‘I do due diligence and thoroughly research what I am getting into’

New information is emerging regarding Forever Living Products (FLP), though these reports remain unverified. It appears FLP may have been facing potential litigation or scrutiny from the FTC, similar to the case involving AdvoCare. To avoid a protracted legal battle, the company reportedly chose to discontinue its multi-level marketing model within the United States.

To combat the morale drop, FLP is likely to lean heavily into a "Product-First" message.

  • The Argument: They will tell global distributors: "We are so confident in our aloe products that they can stand alone as a retail business in the U.S. without the MLM help."
  • Shift in Training: You will likely see global training move away from "financial freedom" and "recruiting" and toward "product benefits" and "customer retail." This is a safer legal path, though often less "exciting" for those looking for fast MLM growth.

The powers that be mustn’t have given enough of a bung to the Trump administration, or convinced RKJ that their snake oil has positive health benefits and his bar is very low for shit like this

oh Thank you so much @thebottingrambler for this fantastic news! I can't wait to see how this is spun. Do you have a link to the closure of USA Offices please.

Slw1984 · 04/04/2026 19:13

Meanwhile … yawn is closing the fb builda bear groups in may and it will ALL be on the app ( website that is slow AF and rubbish ) and whats app groups… probably so she can lie and say they’ve got hundreds of members and no one can check or see the fact they have 17 in body once you take her, techie, mum yawn, and mr yawn and 20 in the other group after them as well 🙄🫠

You’re right. The lowly bots think it’s all about the product anyway so any “product first” emphasis as mentioned by @thebottingrambler will feel like business as usual and they will believe what they’re told.

The real panic is surely going to be at the top of the pyramid where recruitment has always been the focus and compliance something to be dodged. The bots at the top of the pyramid must feel like they’ve been shafted by the family who have seen the writing on the wall and decided to gather all the money in before killing the main engine of their business in the most important country for their business. How long has this been seriously in the pipeline? Three years?

I wonder if they’ve had other things to cash in before they shut up shop altogether - no wonder they wanted to get shot of the Manor and move to what could end up being a very temporary office space.

I asked the new gold star UK bot (former nurse whose name will be impossible to give clues for, initials SS) what she thought about it and was she worried? She responded so very quickly and so very definitely that she wasn’t worried at all and knew all about it, that I just knew it was the first she’d heard of it and she wasn’t nearly as relaxed about as she claimed, especially as she asked for proof. I sent her the BehindMLM version of events. No harm in the unspun information reaching a few bots.
