BOTWATCH 91!!! Yes there have been that many threads! MLM is dying but we are still watching and sadly there are still many victims. 99.6% of participants in these “legal” schemes lose money but they are STILL being promised the world by MLM. And

Welcome to the latest fred!

So they are expecting people to pay them for ‘access’ to Yawn and Techie and be satisfied with an AI bot with their voices??

Looks like it, Yawns obviously too busy with her PT course to run buildahun now

@ticktock19I see there is a whole method behind naming chatbots which is not something I’ve thought about. Having a think about what to call the AI Bot Bots …

AI suggests Coach Connie which is along the right lines.

Or Yawn is too busy looking for the easy route and a chatbot looks like it will do all the work for her if Techie is flagging. I reckon that the PT course won’t be easy or instant enough, she may already have parked it.

I am hopeful she will finish the PT course and deliver it using Spannish sign language!

It’s a happy day when the Fat Controller and his deputy are called Defendants.

Delcious! This is very damming and very detailed. Bust my Buffers as Thomas would say end of the line for the Fat Controller and his assistant.

Castle gets AI to do all her work heavy lifting, and her parents to do home heavy lifting

her dad also seems to be doing her husbands heavy lifting too.

She’s doing a big push with her latest wheeze. She seems to have pivoted away from corporate offerings and is now moving to cheap high volume with free tasters to pull in suckers.

Nice to see in that injunction document from the FTC a photograph of Uber, mini Uber plus mother and sister Uber. Ha Ha Ha!

Ha! “Photos taken from the Defendants’ website”. It is good to see Uber there if only to demonstrate that this isn’t just a US problem. I really hope that FLP is fatally wounded by this and that they shut down operations everywhere. Why should they be allowed to keep damaging people outside the US by continuing to operate in a way that gets them called defendants in the US?

Brilliant

Oh Italian name bot seems to be at a conference in Barcelona run by that absolute charlatan Frazer Brookes

I struggle to look at that man’s face without wanting to kick him up and down the street until I got bored. If MLMs worked, he wouldn’t have a job

And if Daddy hadn’t shafted lots of people with his pyramid scheme he’d have to get a proper job. I agree @dickiedavisthunderthighs he is one of the most punchable people in the MLM circus (but he has stiff competition on that front).

Talking of being punched, Castle has a fat lip. I try to refrain from comments about physical appearance but her face looks uncomfortably pillowy and static. It’s just another contradiction of her insistence that she is authentic. I’ve lost track about what she is offering but it’s mainly word salad and rows of digits ending in the obligatory 7 while her elderly parents graft in the background.

I sense an influx of Tropical Huns on this old thread …

Oh dear, invasion of the hunbots!!!

Yawn announces she is skint

Wow she’s burned through all her millions very quickly!!

Do you reckon that she thinks her MLM past is what is stopping people from joining? As a PP said, there’s no audience for what she does.
I thought it was an interesting choice to post the ‘couples photoshoot’ photo directly after her selfie on her feed. Same outfit, same day, very different photographs.

Very different photos!

Fabric of the curtains seems to be hanging in an interesting way ... 🤔

I cannot see a logical way out for FLP going forward as news of the FTC verdict and the transcript of the case is there for all to see.

As a team builder / Manager or whatever they are called finds out the truth behind their company leaders - and when news trickles through from Google searches and memes, FLP will become a toxic place to hitch your wagon to and many will decide either to leave because they have made no money - difficult to push the product onto anyone - let alone recruit people to buy their starter kits in order to generate sales.

The FTC has labelled FLP as a pyramid scheme in black and white letters - they cannot uphold their marketing model in the US - why do they think outside of the US - "the home of the free and brave" they can survive?
Those getting any income at all will watch and see this dry up over time - until either their local office will close or merge with another country office as staff are downsized.

The beginning of the end...

Interesting post from Bloodsucker...

Methinks "retirement" is on the cards...

Especially given that she’s done nothing that would have cost vast amounts of up front cash -

I can’t bear to read her posts - they are such trite little homilies trying to seem deep and philosophical

this one seems to be getting ahead of any upcoming bad news

Interestingly the FTC targeted posts and social media from the "big hitters" within FLP - Bloodsucker was not one of them but she is on the Senior Leadership Team Globally - so those will be hit the hardest as their empires crumbles away at the bottom and works it's way up.
This the "true" definition of the pyramid - because without a stable base or new entrants feeding in - there's nothing left to prop it up.
Manbot exists because of one leg and from what I can see one country - should things take a turn there - he is effectively finished!

If Yawn was still getting an income from FLP - it's no wonder why she would be bricking it! - Cause yes even that FLP constant cash coming in will dry up quickly - so maybe she know now she is well and truly skint - relying on Mr Yawn to keep the mortgage payments up on the Thatch!
Build a Bot/Bear/Rip Off Scheme - is all that she will have to tout - it had better work out for her soon!

@MrsDilligafI was wondering when the philosophical vague posts about retirement would start from the likes of Bloodsucker. She will quit before the bots realise things are in free fall.

What about the Borings? Mrs Boring was implying that “after a terrible 2025” Forever Living was the only bright light on the horizon (which obviously no one believes), but even that light has gone out. I think she is as thick as mince and thinks she has lost her AGA and room for a Pony because of some outside force, not realising that she should look closer to home because Mr Boring has overstretched himself in an effort to attract bots. Insisting on a massive house and a Bentley. Forever wasn’t their saviour it was more likely the reason it’s gone tits up.

I wonder if he will try and jump ship to another MLM taking his followers with him? If he can’t choose his future in MLM then he may have to get a J.O.B. Just imagine him trying to get another job like he had before, running an audit department in a bank, with his track record! So many of the high up bots are in a much more precarious position than Bloodsucker or even Uber (though she won’t be as “philosophical” as Bloodsucker).
