New York Times reporter Joe Nocera published the next story under the title “The Pyramid Scheme Problem”:
“I have nothing for you,” said Frank Dorman, a spokesman for the Federal Trade Commission. “Lots of reporters have asked that question. Our final response is, We’re not going to answer it.”
What had I asked that was so sensitive that the F.T.C. wouldn’t respond? I had requested that the agency explain what distinguished an illegal “pyramid scheme” from a legal multilevel marketing company.
What had prompted my question were two recent events. In late August, the F.T.C. had gotten an injunction issued against a multilevel marketing company called Vemma Nutrition, claiming it was in fact a pyramid scheme.

Chris Atkinson – Ambit Energy From Broke To Top Earner
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
Top Earner Steve Thompson stated about Chris Atkinson:
“He was the first person I called after signing up for Ambit Energy. Matter of fact after I left the Ambit office I called Chris from my car. He actually hung up on me
Chris was 38 years old, broke, living with his parents and trying to find a way to a better life. He was hungry for a change and willing to put forth the effort and became teachable and coachable. He joined the business one day after seeing the presentation and finding one person that would lend him the startup cost.
I have to tell you he did not let his past stop his future. You see, Chris had been in and out of jail his entire adult life because of alcohol and drugs.

Jeunesse Monthly Record Sales Reach $40 Million
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
Jeunesse Global closed the month of June with a record-breaking $40 million in sales revenue. With over 4,000 new enrollees registering on just the 30th, Jeunesse has reported that a staggering 38,000 new distributors were enrolled in June alone.
Jeunesse’s exponential growth has kept it on track to reach record numbers in sales revenue by the end of 2014.
Earlier in June, Jeunesse founders, Wendy Lewis and Randy Ray, together with Chief Visionary Officer, Scott Lewis, embarked to the Cotai Arena at the Venetian Macau Resort, where the company’s 5th anniversary EXPO will be held.
The arena is one of the largest in the world, and has a seating capacity of 15,000—which the event is expected to fill.
“I’m sitting on stage at this amazing arena and visualizing what’s about to take place September 26th-28th.
Having our Jeunesse distributors from around the world come together as one global family to celebrate our 5th anniversary is going to be a truly memorable occasion.
I get chills just imagining what this epic event is going to do for the thousands of distributors who will be in attendance taking part in the Jeunesse experience.
I firmly believe that EXPO: 5 is going to be a
