Avon Products Inc is seeking approval of a $62 million settlement of a U.S. lawsuit accusing the cosmetics company of defrauding shareholders by concealing its failure to stop workers from bribing officials in China to win business.

It resolves claims that Avon, former Chief Executive Andrea Jung and former Chief Financial Strategy Officer Charles Cramb, intended to mislead shareholders from 2006 to 2011 about the company’s ability to comply with the federal Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, which prohibits bribing foreign officials.
Shareholders led by two German investment funds said Avon embraced a corporate culture that was “actively hostile” to effective oversight and concealed its dependence on corrupt activity such as “dinner and karaoke” events to boost

How ItWorks! Drove Over $1 Billion In Sales

Molly Mulshine from Tech Insider shares:
I’ve started seeing promotional weight-loss posts from people I know on Facebook and Instagram.
Sandwiched between party photos and wedding announcements, the posts show stomachs, legs, and arms before and after application of “this crazy wrap” that can “tighten, tone, and firm” with “minimized appearance of cellulite” and “fast and lasting results” in “as little as 45 minutes.” Similar posts endorse “fat fighter” pills, eye cream, menopausal supplements, “greens” powder that can “detoxify, energize, and alkalize,” and “defining gel” that does wonders on wrinkles.
These people, mostly women, also tell me they’re making thousands of dollars selling this stuff.
