Kevin Thompson The MLM Attorney Explains The SEC Debtbox And iX Global Allegations

Kevin Thompson is an MLM attorney, proud husband, father of four and a founding member of Thompson Burton PLLC.
Named as one of the top 25 most influential people in direct sales, Kevin Thompson has extensive experience to help entrepreneurs launch their businesses on secure legal footing.
Together with Troy Dooly and Clay Brewer, in a Facebook zoom call he is discussing the legal position of crypto, tokens and securities in the USA.
Earlier Kevin said:
“It’s time to state the obvious: Crypto + MLM = Legally Impossible.” (In the USA)
I’m not suggesting that “crypto” is bad. On the contrary, I think crypto provides exciting opportunities for all sorts of yet-to-be-discovered innovations. There are plenty of reasons for people to be distrustful and concerned with traditional finance.
Crypto provides people with an interesting offramp away from traditional finance. Volatile and dangerous? Sure. But it’s possible; thus, there’s a place for it.

Women of Perserverance: How Sandee Aqui and Nathalie Akona Achieved Diamond in ibüümerang

For Hawaiian native Sandee Aqui, ibüümerang was a light in the dark; searching for a way to work through a devastatingly tragic time in her life, she found solace in a company that “felt like home.”
Her daughter had just passed, leaving behind Sandee’s now-orphaned grandchildren, who became her “why” for creating an unending legacy through ibüümerang. 
“It took time for me to be able to function properly, and focus on the mindset needed in this business,”
said Sandee.
“But with the unbreakable system of ibüümerang and Mr. Holton Buggs, I knew NOT going Diamond wasn’t an option.”
After nearly four years of grief, Sandee persevered through her own strength and sought the guidance of the “leader of leaders,” CEO Mr. Holton Buggs, before achieving Diamond and securing her family’s legacy.
The journey to ibüümerang was long for fellow Hawaiian native Nathalie Akona; after decades of self-employment, she had a handful of failed network marketing companies along the way. Having finally joined the “place with the right leadership” in March 2023, she devoted herself entirely to her business for the next two months, becoming a Diamond Ambassador at the end. 
At 71 years old, she proves it’s never too late to achieve your dreams.
