Youngevity International, Inc., a global direct marketer of nutritional and lifestyle products and also a vertically-integrated producer of gourmet coffees for the commercial, retail and direct sales channels, announced today that it has made an investment of $1.1 million to improve its company-owned 59,000 square foot corporate headquarters located in Chula Vista, California.
The improvements to the Youngevity headquarters include a complete reconfiguration of the distribution center layout, which doubles the amount of pallet storage locations and shipping lanes to maximize efficiency and productivity. The increased storage capacity in the distribution center was attributed to the purchase of two technologically advanced Raymond forklifts that optimize warehouse throughput. Also, the warehouse was updated with new energy-efficient lighting and insulation, additional circulation fans were installed to increase employee comfort, and the shipping and purchasing department offices were expanded.

Zeek Rewards Receiver May Spread To Canada
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
The receiver of defunct ZeekRewards.com is going international in his quest to retrieve “net winnings” from participants in the Ponzi scheme, according to the Winston-Salem Journal.
Kenneth Bell said in a legal filing Thursday he is requesting permission to pursue at least 23 Canadian residents who received a combined $2.91 million. The range of net winnings was $50,863 to $376,808 among the listed participants.
Bell defines net winners are those who had a net gain of at least $1,000 from the scheme.
In August 2012, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission accused Rex Venture Group LLC, Zeekler andZeekRewards.com, all of Lexington, and Paul Burks, their principal owner, of raising $850 million through unregistered securities. The companies were shut down and their assets frozen.
The companies raised the money from at least 2.2 million customers, including more than 230,000 in the United States and 47,000 in North Carolina. Bell said net winners received more than $283 million combined.
The filing comes about five weeks after Bell made good on his promise to identify U.S. net winners. He listed about 9,400 individuals in a 217-page legal filing available at www.zeekrewardsreceivership.com. The list contained 15 individuals from Forsyth County, 105 from the Triad and Northwest North Carolina, and 390 statewide.
