BK Boreyko, CEO Vemma, reponds to accusations in the media in the next statement to Vemma Elite members:
“Last year, together we accomplished something only 18 out of the thousands of networking companies in the world did – we GREW by $103 million to finish at $221 million! This marked the biggest, most successful company in my career. It just figures when you’re bigger than ever, you’ll receive more negative attention than ever. I don’t understand why success attracts negativity, but it always has and I guess it always will.
The recent media coverage on Vemma has been disappointing. Our strategy to move to affiliate marketing and improve our business model was designed to make our opportunity more attractive. Well, I learned early on to turn my disappointments into determination. I don’t know what fires you up, but hate towards what we do and who we help is my fuel for the future!
Let’s talk a bit about the media and their view on what we do. Recently, the producers from the Today Show asked for comments on these topics below and our answers were on point. Some of the topics made it into the show, some didn’t. Below I’ve expanded our responses

by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
How the Zeek Rewards Receivership intends to go after Zeek investors who are outside of the USA, has made clear in his status report for the second quarter of 2014.
Receiver Kenneth Bell:
Counsel for the Receiver prepared a request for proposal, which it distributed to a select number of law firms in countries where the largest ZeekRewards net winners reside.
The Receiver Team has been in discussions with multiple overseas law firms regarding the logistics, strategy, and costs involved with pursuit of net winners residing in these firms’ various countries.
Claims against foreign net winners will likely be grouped by the country in which these individuals reside, with some actions being initiated here in the Western District of North Carolina and other actions being filed in the foreign net winners’ home countries.
The Receiver is evaluating the most efficient means of pursuing these individuals that will generate the greatest possible return for the Receivership Estate.

Zeek Rewards – Former Management Agrees To Pay $600 Million Back
by Ted Nuyten • • 0 Comments
As first reported by Behind MLM, Paul Burks, Dawn Wright-Olivares and Daniel Olivares have agreed to pay $600 million back to the Zeek Rewards receiver.
In his status report for the second quarter of 2014, Receiver Kenneth Bell has revealed that: “By the filing date of this report, the Receiver had reached settlement agreements with Paul Burks, Dawn Wright-Olivares, and Daniel Olivares, pending Court approval.
Each of these defendants agreed to a consent judgment of $600 million to be satisfied with substantially all of their assets.
How the $600M figure will be paid back, in particular who is paying what amount, is unclear. Ditto how much of the judgement will be distributed to the scheme’s victims by the Receivership.
What is clear though is that it appears to be a lump sum, and after it’s paid – those primarily responsible for the creation and operation of the Zeek Rewards Ponzi scheme will have absolutely nothing left to show for it.

Mary Kay Earners Have Driven Over 22,000 Pink Cadillacs That Could Have Been Lincolns
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
The only people who get to drive in pink Cadillac splendor are superstars whose multilevel sales teams have sold at least $100,000 in Mary Kay products in six months.
It’s one of the most easily recognized sales incentive in the world.
But not many people outside the company know that these independent sales directors ought to be driving Lincolns.
That’s what Mary Kay Ash really wanted in 1967, when the first lady of cosmetics decided to indulge herself with a luxury car and flaunt the success of her company in the process.
But she got “little lady-ied” by a local Lincoln dealership, says Crayton Webb, vice president of corporate communications at Mary Kay Inc. “The guy in so many words said, ‘Little lady, go home and get your husband. And when you come back, we’ll get you into that Lincoln.’ That didn’t sit too well with her.”
Mary Kay was probably summarily dismissed before she ever mentioned that she wanted her vehicle to match the color of her cosmetics compact.
Frank Kent Cadillac in Fort Worth was more than happy to take her money for a 1968 Sedan de Ville and order it in powder pink. General Motors resurrected a retired paint color, Mountain Laurel, that
