Distributor Violations Force World Global Network To Terminate USA Top Leaders
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
Distributor Violations Force WGN To Act Decisively In The Terminations of Jeremy Roma and Romacio Fulcher.
According to a WGN press release:
Notwithstanding the massive quantity of expressions of unqualified support from every market in which WGN operates, the company has found it necessary to terminate the distributor agreements of both Jeremy Roma and Romacio Fulcher.
The public statements of both of these former leaders have required the company to give a brief response to the distortions and misrepresentations that they have released with the sole goal of misleading the network marketing public.
While I strongly believe in the principle of keeping the details of internal company actions private and confidential, it has become necessary to provide some details that led to the terminations of one or both of these former WGN distributors. These terminations resulted, in part, from the following items:
Conduct not appropriate for distributors in good standing,
Breach of contract,
Cross-recruiting to another company in direct violation of company policies,
Making defamatory statements,
Making unauthorized statements divulging private and confidential company information.
These actions have been ongoing for a substantial period of time, however, WGN was always hopeful that there would be the necessary self-correction so that this termination action would never have been necessary.
It wasn’t
