What are you views on MLM?
I detest it, personally, but it seems to be so popular. I can't understand why. Haven't people been scammed enough by now?

I am with you.
I am not sure if it should be criminalized though since I think that people should take responsibility for their actions, but more people have to realize that there is no such thing as a free lunch

It's the dream that sells.

Sure but that is what makes it so dangerous. You sell it to the people that can't afford it, and without the same sale skills and then all that they are left with is $ out of pocket and they are worse off than they were in the beginning

The sooner a ponzi dies, the less victims it makes.
There was one big ponzi that made the news, called 12DailyPro. It collapsed early 2006. The total amount of money that was "redistributed" was around $90 million.
A year before 12DailyPro, there was a program called PIPS. It was operating in Malaysia by an Englishman. Some story, but to make a long one short: He's still spending time in an orange suit in Malaysia, one of the worst countries to be jailed and since he's not of the youngest, I don't think he will ever come out alive from there. Bryan Marshden, not the sharpest tool in the box.

I can't stand the mlm junk. I guess there will always be immoral operators that can work around the laws.
