USI-Tech Hit By Emergency Cease And Desist Order In The USA

by Ted Nuyten • December 21, 2017 • 0 Comments

USI-Tech Limited (USI) claims to be an online Forex and Bitcoin trading platform provider, located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
Co-founders of USI -Tech are Mike Kiefer, Ralf Gold and Horst Jicha.
Texas Securities Commissioner Travis J. Iles entered an Emergency Cease and Desist Order Dec. 20 against USI-Tech Limited, an overseas firm that is promising low-risk, triple-digit returns from investments tied to Bitcoin mining.
The enforcement staff of the State Securities Board presented evidence to the Securities Commissioner that USI-Tech, based in Dubai, and two U.S.-based sales agents are soliciting investors in dozens of Texas cities through targeted craigslist advertisements, YouTube videos, and standalone websites.
Neither USI-Tech nor the sales agents, Clifford Thomas of Suitland, Md., and Michael Rivera of Los Angeles, are registered to sell securities in Texas. The investment also is not registered in Texas.
The company and agents are offering for sale an investment contract in the mining of bitcoin. Mining uses significant amounts of computing power — and electricity consumption — to generate bitcoins for the decentralized online ledger that records and verifies bitcoin transactions.
The agents’ websites claim the mining investment “derives its value from [USI-Tech’s] non-exclusive interest in a series of Bitcoin mining contracts.” They promise a daily return of 1%.

Randy Gage is an active network marketing distributor.
Randy Gage:
“As most of you know, I released a Manifesto about the MLM and network marketing profession back in 2009.

It rocked the profession because I exposed “MLM junkies,” sweetheart deals, and sleazy marketing techniques like frontend loading.
Now I’m about to do it again. At 12:01 December 1st, I will be releasing the follow up: R.I.P. MLM. Because frankly I am disgusted at what has happened to our business in the last two years. It’s become a cesspool of corruption, manipulation, and exploitation.
A perfect example is what is happening now in the cryptocurrency and forex space. Thousands of innocent people are being victimized on a daily basis. So in the public good, I’m releasing an excerpt from the Manifesto, detailing how these crooked hustlers are hurting people. Please read it carefully, so you understand these issues and can protect both yourself

Amway – Not A Feasible Option For Students

by Ted Nuyten • September 24, 2017 • 0 Comments

The Gateway is the Online magazine of Nebraska’s university (USA) and has published the next controversial article about Amway:
“It seems like more and more these days our Facebook feeds are filled with multilevel marketing. Your high school acquaintance is selling Mary Kay. Your friend’s mom is selling Avon and Plexus. But the granddaddy of all multilevel marketing schemes?
Amway was founded in 1959 in part by Richard DeVos. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because he is the father-in-law of current Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos.
Last week on Sept. 5, the Daily Nebraskan published an article in their news section that may have misled students into believing that Amway is a great way for college students to make money.
In the article, the support for Amway was expressed more than the drawbacks to the company.
Although the comments directly on the article were mostly positive for Amway, the commenters on Facebook took great exception to the tone of the article, to say the least.
“How much did Amway pay you to publish this sponsored advertisement posing as journalism The Daily Nebraskan?” Facebook user Daniel Baer wrote.
While Amway was cleared of being an official illegal “pyramid scheme” by the Federal Trade Commission in 1979, their recruitment and

DeVos Family Seeks Deregulation Of Amway So It Can Beat Herbalife

by Ted Nuyten • September 19, 2017 • 0 Comments

According to an article in the New York Post:
Betsy DeVos’ well-connected family wants Amway to get a leg up on Herbalife — and it’s pushing Congress to make it happen.
The US education secretary’s Michigan-based family, which is the controlling shareholder of privately held Amway, is backing a little-noticed amendment to the US House spending bill that would limit regulatory oversight of so-called multilevel marketers, or MLMs.
Specifically, the rider would curb the ability of the Federal Trade Commission to investigate whether MLMs like Amway are pyramid schemes — potentially protecting Amway from costly regulations that have recently ensnared its archrival Herbalife.

“Of course, Amway is supportive” of the amendment,

said Joseph Mariano, president of the Direct Selling Association, which represents MLMs and counts Amway as its biggest member.
Meanwhile, Herbalife Senior Vice President Ed Rosen asked several US Congressmen in a July letter to tack added consumer protections to the bill — the kind that Herbalife will be forced to implement whether Amway’s bill passes or not.
Under a 2016 settlement with the FTC, Herbalife agreed to fully restructure its US business operations, and distinguish customers, who sign up to purchase products at a discount, from distributors, who resell the products to earn commissions.

Thirty-One Gifts CEO Says: We Will Grow Again

by Ted Nuyten • September 18, 2017 • 0 Comments

Personal attention has long been a big piece of the retailer tool box, and it’s become even more critical in an era when customers demand what they want when they want it and where they want it. It’s something that Columbus-based Thirty-One Gifts believes is its competitive edge.
“I actually think we have the advantage here over Amazon or e-commerce,” said Cindy Monroe, founder, president and CEO of Thirty-One.
“We have understood the customer experience for a really long time.”
“We already understand how to connect with customers. Our biggest risk is going to far the other way into digital. The problem in online is it’s hard to create that personal experience. For us, if we do online, it’s still an online party where (sales) consultants are personalizing the product, helping (customers) create a gift.”
Thirty-One Gifts uses an army of sales consultants selling personalized boutique items in house parties as the backbone of its direct-sales business. The business recently went through a cycle of growth, decline and resurgence that Monroe spoke of during the company’s recent annual sales conference at Nationwide Arena.
A decade after its founding in 2003, company revenue peaked at $763 million.
In 2014, revenue dropped to $643 million, then fell again in 2015
