Avon Unit Gave Gucci Bags, N.Y. Trips As China Bribes, U.S. Says

by Tina Williams • December 18, 2014 • 0 Comments

Avon Products Inc. (AVP)’s Chinese subsidiary bribed local officials with Gucci bags and foreign travel in order to sell products directly to the nation’s consumers, the U.S. said as the company ended a six-year federal investigation with a guilty plea and $135 million in fines.
Avon is also subject to a deferred prosecution agreement requiring it to adopt “rigorous” internal controls and avoid further violations for three years before the case will be dropped. The plea, which includes an outside monitor, was announced at a hearing today in Manhattan federal court.
The world’s largest door-to-door seller of cosmetics had said in May it would settle the probe. Its Chinese unit pleaded guilty to conspiring to violate U.S. anti-bribery law by falsifying records of a four-year scheme to pay off Chinese authorities, who ended a direct sales ban in 2006.

“For years in China it was ‘Avon calling,’ as Avon bestowed millions of dollars in gifts and other things on Chinese government officials,” said Manhattan U.S. Attorney Bharara today. “Avon China was in the door-to-door influence-peddling business and for years its corporate parent, rather than putting an end to the practice, conspired to cover it up.”

by Nicole Dunkley • December 17, 2014 • 0 Comments

Beverly Monical of Tampa, Florida was always admired by her fellow Talk Fusion Associates worldwide for her passion, love of Talk Fusion, and faith–even in moments of adversity. A driven team leader with great aspirations for the future, Beverly had always dreamed of attending Talk Fusion’s luxurious, bi-annual Dream Getaway incentive trip in Maui. However, the four-time cancer survivor was never able to attend.
As a testament to her hard work and determination, Beverly was given an honorary passage to Dream Getaway at Talk Fusion’s annual Corporate Event, IMAGINE, in Tampa this April. Unfortunately, her health declined and she had to cancel. That would be her last chance to make the trip.
Beverly lost her battle with breast cancer this summer.
Even after Beverly’s passing, Talk Fusion Founder & CEO Bob Reina and VP of Training & Development Allison Roberts made sure that the legacy of this inspirational Associate lives on. What better place to do so than in beautiful Hawaii?
A tribute ceremony was held in her honor on Sunday, December 7th at the Dream Getaway trip for Diamond Associates and above in Hawaii, with Beverly’s husband, Bill Monical, and son, Gordon Waugh, in attendance.
Over 150 Dream Getaway attendees gathered on the beach

TelexFree Receiver Stephen Darr Speaks Out

by Ted Nuyten • December 17, 2014 • 0 Comments

In 35 years of handling bankruptcy cases, Stephen Darr has seen plenty of ugly. He has doled out funds to creditors of an asbestos company and a machine gun maker and to victims of several Ponzi schemes.
But nothing comes close to the scale of the TelexFree Inc. bankruptcy. Never in history has a trustee been responsible for divvying up the assets of a company that prosecutors say defrauded 2.1 million people, from Boston to Uganda.
Darr, an accountant by trade and senior managing director at Mesirow Financial Consulting in Boston, is the court-appointed trustee charged with paying out claims to victims who believe they are owed more than $1 billion in the case. TelexFree was purportedly a long-distance phone company, but in reality generated most of its money by luring a stream of small investors from 2012 until it was shut down earlier this year, according to prosecutors.
Many Brazilian immigrants risked — and lost — large portions of their savings, in hopes of reaping the generous returns that were promised.
“I feel very sympathetic toward these people,’’ Darr said. “They lost a lot of money. They deserve to get it back, and it’s my job to get it back to them as

Isagenix Announces Newest Millionaire

by Tina Williams • December 16, 2014 • 0 Comments

The fitness industry is competitive. Personal trainers are consistently contending with others for clients on a daily basis. And, it’s that hit-or-miss income that the trainers often rely upon to survive.
No one knows this better than Heather. The Perth-based trainer and single mother of two was once juggling two jobs, dreading the day her car might break down, or fearing a new bill would appear in her mailbox.

“When I first started with Isagenix in 2007, it was a natural progression as my clients were telling others about the benefits using the products,” explains Heather. “The extra income was appreciated because the personal training income is unpredictable from one week to the next.”

Today with Isagenix, she is part of a supportive and nurturing team, enjoying time freedom and providing a stable future for her children.

“The company changed my life from a personal view,” explains Heather. “You are in a safe environment where you can overcome your fears and grow into the best possible you.”

Ch-ch-changin’!

Heather describes herself as a happy and positive person, but her mother left a legacy of discontent and an unhealthy lifestyle. Heather didn’t want to model that path for her children or for others, but rather took a
