Antonia Hoyle has written another MLM piece, this time about Tropic. It’s in the DM and behind a paywall so no idea what it says and won’t be paying the DM to read it! www.dailymail.com/lifestyle/article-15768299/Tropic-Skincare-organic-beauty-Dragons-Den-pamper-parties-middle-class-women-financial-freedom.html

thanks for the new Fred!

Thanks for new thread.

Good morning Botwatchers!

user1471446301 · 29/04/2026 10:15

New Thread! Thank you. I'll kick of with Rictus and her continuous false income claims. She did not make enough money for 3 adults and a child to go to Florida for 3 weeks. Only possibly enough to pay for the shien matchy dresses and knock off headbands.

"How to pay for Disney…

You want to go to Disney, but you can't afford it?

I have a solution!

Just start working with me alongside your current commitments, and together, we’ll earn you “Disney Pennies”

I am convinced that Rictus' husband is shady. I have nothing to back this up whatsoever other than "where has the money come from because it's not from her"

Spongebobette · 29/04/2026 10:41

he is 50 - a lot older than her

He's certainly shady to put up with her bollocks and bare faced lies. I think he's another one like Mr Yawn head in the sand afraid to rock the boat or face the wrath. In fairness to him I think he has a real job and is referenced with two engineering institutions depending on his discipline I may have the displeasure of bumping into him. Rictus lost her dad and this may have had some bearing on the housing arrangements and the financial ability for Mr Rictus to have taken a career gap (shamelessly proclaimed to be funded by her bizz).

Right, so the Country Manager for India FLP has been arrested and had his assets frozen. BehindMLM doing god's work again.
I've also seen that the world's tippiest toppiest (surname is another word for a nap) now seems to be almost exclusively promoting his new olive oil business.

@user1471446301 she talks about her late dad saying, ‘the only thing to do with a daughter is spoil her rotten’. So perhaps that is what happened and what is repeating itself now with Rictus Junior? I feel the same as @dickiedavisthunderthighs- there is something very indulgent about his appearances in her silly lip sync videos etc. Wouldn’t someone with a serious professional role just keep largely separate from the Bot social media content? He seems to be a self employed consultant. I think it’s probably a case of family money or something like that. But what it definitely isn’t is a life of luxury funded by Forever Living.

I’d have expected her to have a limited company if she is making £30k a week but there’s nothing in her name (or her previous last name) and only two dissolved companies in his name. Of course, it only matters if you’re tricking people into believing your MLM is a viable option. Something does smell off.

WOW So murky, well done to the Hyderabad Police and BehindMLM for their on the pulse reporting. Look at this below it reads exactly the same as what the Fat Controller and his buffer busting pal have been charged with. We know this is being replicated around the world, Bloodsucker better get ready as she going to be pissing her pants when it's Africa's turn esp Nigeria.

Police say he was involved in a multi-level marketing (MLM) scam that cheated people by promising easy money. Instead of focusing on product sales, the scheme mainly earned money by recruiting new members and collecting registration fees.
People were asked to pay small entry fees (₹199–₹249) for training.
They were encouraged to join “packages” like Slow Track, Medium Track, and Fast Track.
Victims were promised high income through “work-from-home” opportunities.
#SocialMedia videos showing a rich lifestyle were used to attract people.
The scheme mainly targeted youth (18–24 years) and housewives.
INVESTIGATION DETAILS
Three cases were registered in Rein Bazar, #Mirchowk , and Madannapet police stations.
Earlier, three local agents were already arrested.

Oh dear, New Dehli was one of the very telling four locations of the Guilty Fuckers’ Grand Tour which replaced the Dubai cultfest. India is clearly important to them so this isn’t good news at all. Especially when it will turn out to be a case of the Country Manager simply following orders.

Re the Grand Tour has anyone else noticed the propping up/padding out of FLP UK with people with Polish sounding names and sharing of more South Africa related content (two of the other countries visited during the GT)? I wondered if FLP is heading for 4 hubs in countries where the general population may be less aware of the scam? That would definitely be bad news for UK bots if there is such a thing as a UK Bot in existence in the near-ish future. The only part the UK played in the Grand Tour is when the Fat Controller emptied the plane lav above Solihull on his journey between more exploitable countries

The thought of an FLP country manager being arrested has filled my mind with entertaining images of Scamalopoulus going on the run to avoid arrest. I can picture him hiding under a bush somewhere, surviving on out of date jizz and marine collagen tablets, piecing together old success day sashes to form some kind of blanket against the cold. When it all really gets too much he consoles himself with a flagon of Gentlemen’s Pride and wonders why the Fat Controller is not longer returning his calls. Shame it won’t happen in the UK!

Oh look, due to “unforeseen circumstances” the India leg of the Grand Tour was cancelled (should have happened 25 April). The following day the story of the India Country Manager’s arrest broke. I wonder how much notice FLP gave of the can elation of the India leg if the GT?

Bloody hell, the shit really is hitting the fan isn't it?
This is where FLP really cannot hide, the people who've been arrested are on their direct payroll. They're not FBOs, they can't claim someone went rogue.

Spongebobette · 29/04/2026 17:15

Exactly!!

Two bombshells in quick succession

wonder what the next one will be?

YouOKHun · 29/04/2026 17:27

Apparently the India CM was arrested on the morning of the FLP India GT event and the bosses were already in the country. The only warning the Fat Controller may have had is that around 6 weeks before a group of FBOs were arrested. However, if the bosses were made aware (unlikely) perhaps that was seen as a trivial bit of local difficulty rather than a sign of trouble. They got back on the plane and rushed off to Poland, announcing on Monday morning that the business would close early for the month (today).

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 29/04/2026 19:55

I'm going to take an educated guess that one of the arrested is the 25 year old founder of the Achiever's Club, also much-lauded-in-the-UK and member of the GLT. Hasn't posted on IG for six weeks. He's been a global poster boy.

Spongebobette · 29/04/2026 20:58

How can I find him?

Spongebobette · 29/04/2026 21:07

Ah just found him by searching GLT 2026

interesting that Japan has the top leader and South Africa features a lot

only Bloodsucker from the UK

YouOKHun · 29/04/2026 21:18

@dickiedavisthunderthighs spot on. The arrests x 2 that happened about a month ago were two ringleaders of the Achievers Club, but not that Krishna fellow who is the founder I think. But it’s all a bit of a tangle and the bosses aren’t not going to be able to say it’s just one rogue FBO in a minor country. It’s an important enough place for them to fly there. This India thing is horrible timing for them Grin and just makes them look even more crooked. It needs some media coverage in the UK!
