Experts Calls on SEC To Crack Down On MLM’s
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
The Securities and Exchange Commission should ratchet up its scrutiny of Herbalife and other multilevel marketing companies to ensure that their distributors aren’t violating anti-pyramid scheme laws, according to one top industry expert.
Bill Keep, the business dean of the College of New Jersey and a trial expert on pyramid schemes, urged SEC chief Mary Jo White to conduct ongoing reviews of the growing MLM industry and recommended that companies submit their enforcement policies to regulators every five years.
“I urge you to take serious the ongoing threat of unregulated behaviors by hundreds of thousands of MLM distributors affecting the lives of millions of Americans annually,” he wrote in the June 16 letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Post.
Keep fired off the letter in the wake of the recent appellate court decision upholding the Federal Trade Commission’s closure of pyramid scheme BurnLounge, saying it “reinforced the key issues of rewards primarily reliance on recruitment and the need for effective, enforced company policies.”
In his letter to White, Keep called out Herbalife, which is being probed by the SEC and other regulators over pyramid scheme allegations, for its “attempts to distance the company from distributor behaviors.”

Krystal and Brett Williams – mynt Hit Ruby Executive
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
Krystal and Brett Williams from Corona, California, USA hit the rank of Ruby Executive in mynt.
This inseparable couple gives us a glimpse into what makes them tick.
You can just feel their passion and drive; it’s the kind of vibe that just lets you know they will continue in their success.
They know what they want and have a plan; they just needed the right vehicle to get there, and they found it with mynt.
mynt rewards based on effort
Krystal and I…we both work full-time jobs. We take our daughter to daycare every morning at 7 a.m., prior to pre-school starting. After pre-school, she goes to afterschool care until we can make our way back from work, which is usually around 6 p.m.
This is our current routine, but it is temporary. Our ultimate goal is to take back control of our lives so that we can determine how much money we make, when we take vacations, and how much family time we can spend together.
Once our mynt income exceeds the income from both our full-time jobs, we’ll leave those jobs and focus solely on the mynt lifestyle. And, for us, that means time freedom, financial freedom, and lots of quality time

TelexFree Inches Closer To Chapter 7
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Yesterday saw a hearing for TelexFree Trustee Stephen Darr’s request for permission to subpoena several companies associated with TelexFree. Darr had also requested permission to conduct depositions with individuals from said companies, with the court granting him permission to proceed.
Five such motions were filed by Darr, with three of them granted as proposed. Alvares and Marsal (financial consultants to TelexFree) objected only to having to share emails between the firm and its legal counsel.
Darr agreed to this on condition that he reserves the right to request the emails, if needed, at a later date. A & M consented on condition they retain the right to appeal any such requests.
At the time of publication, no order has been made public regarding Darr’s request to subpoena TelexFree’s law firm Greenberg Traurig, however news reports suggest permission was granted on all five subpoena requests.
Speaking to the Worcester Telegram about why he had to file the requests, Darr remarked
There are no employees left. There’s no insurance. There never was insurance.
I have no money to start up the business. I just don’t know if there ever was a business. I’m hampered by a lack of records.
Following a raid on TelexFree’s headquarters, HSI and FBI agents seized a host of TelexFree’s onsite

Avon To Cut About 600 Jobs
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Cosmetics maker Avon Products Inc said it would cut about 600 jobs, including in its North America unit, as the company struggles to return to profit.
The direct seller of cosmetics, which has posted losses in five of the past six quarters, had about 36,700 employees, including 4,300 in the United States, at the end of December, according to its latest annual filing.
Avon will take a pretax charge of $45 million-$50 million, of which $40 million is expected to be recorded in the current quarter ending June, the company said in a statement on Monday.
The job cuts and other restructuring efforts are expected to result in annual savings of about $50 million to $55 million, Avon said.
The company is struggling to turn around its fortunes after a host of problems in key markets such as Russia, Latin America and the United States hurt profits.
Avon’s net loss widened to $168.4 million, or 38 cents per share, in the first quarter ended March 31 from $13.7 million, or 3 cents per share, a year earlier.
Sales in North America fell 22 percent in the quarter as its products faced competition from inexpensive beauty items at drugstores or from chains such as Sephora.
