The following article reported by Reuters recently shares the Ackman vs Herbalife fiasco in a rather objective manner. Ultimately, his claims aren’t resonating with Herbalife members or nutritional club owners.
New York hedge fund manager William Ackman says Herbalife is a pyramid scheme that exploits the poor. He has taken a $1 billion bet against the company’s stock and spent millions on research to attack the nutritional supplements seller, including making a video showing former distributors who claim they were deceived and lost money trying to sell its products.
Yet a visit to some of the clubs that have been set up to dispense the company’s shakes, teas and other items, largely to the Hispanic community in the U.S., shows that it has fans. These are consumers who stress their health has improved and distributors who are thankful to have the opportunity to run their own businesses.
In conversations at 10 such clubs that Reuters reporters visited in recent weeks in the Los Angeles area, New York and Newark, New Jersey, more than 20 people said they had lost a substantial amount of weight while consuming Herbalife products.

The way that he works with his organization and supports in so many ways, it’s just amazing how he helps other people achieve their success. Brian told me one time because he’s been fortunate, he feels he has a responsibility to give back to others.

He’s a very unique, talented, committed and focused network marketing professional. We’ve been in the industry for 28 years and never worked with anyone like him. To be on his team is amazing.”

Preiscoin – Swiss Digital Currency Goes MLM
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Preiscoin Group AG is based out of Switzerland that offers the Preiscoin (PRS), an alternative digital currency based on the Bitcoin protocol.
Preiscoin uses a Forced Matrix compensation structure for affiliates to build up their customer base.
The Forced Matrix Plan is a compensation structure with a set width and depth on which distributors are compensated.
Preiscoin offers 4% residual commissions on every sale down to 7 levels in the 3×7 forced matrix.
A customer or affiliate who purchases a mining subscription will grant you the “base” – that is a fixed sum of Preiscoins every month staring at CHF 25 or $ 27.
After 3 people register and purchase a mining subcription, besides Preiscoins, you will receive a prepaid card where the referral commisisons are paid out.
Preiscoin offers monthly bonuses, as well, to help earn larger commissions quickly. For every 10 paid customers that an affiliate brings into Preiscoin within a calendar month, that affiliate will receive an additional bonus of 100 CHF / $106. If that affiliate brings in 20 paid customers in a month and receive 200 CHF / $ 213, bring in 30 and you receive $319, etc.
Preiscoin offers a special Bonus Pool that will be shared among top 10 affliates of the month on a rotating basis. 10% PRS net revenue will be paid out
