    Maybe he has $50K worth of inventory in his garage?

    Seems Iamwil has gone AWOL on scam.com and removed all of his posts from that forum. Members there are speculating as to what happened.

    Re: Why MLMs Never Release Their Financial Statements

    MLMs don't release financials unless they are court ordered to do so because the numbers are dismal.

    Iamwil disappeared from the face of the earth and Nopalea got fined for misleading advertising. I wonder how cactus willy is doing these days?

    Maybe working a job again?

    Re: Why MLMs Never Release Their Financial Statements

    Any one want to grab the Vemma numbers for this topic? :)

    Now we know why BK merely phrased "2nd year of 200 million"... Because revenues went DOWN in 2014 (from 2013). Half-truth indeed.

    Re: Why MLMs Never Release Their Financial Statements

    Awesome finds, LRM. A reminder to our new readers, these figures include the reps that got paid a check. Many never qualify for any payment. These MLMs have catastrophic turnover rates with 50% or more of the reps leaving in their first year. So, the loss rates are much more horrific than these Income Disclosures indicate.

    All MLMs are scams in my opinion and can be labeled many things including product-based pyramid schemes.

    World Ventures gives us the horrifying reality. Almost 81% didn't get paid a dime. One can see all the money flows up to the top of the pyramid. Trickle up economics!

    Re: Why MLMs Never Release Their Financial Statements

    People in the "real economy" don't "normally"

    * pay to participate in the pay plan

    * get paid for recruiting or, if they do, cannot make the bulk of their income doing so.

    * get offered a "find three and get yours free" bonus or be told it's a sustainable mathematical possibility

    * get told untold riches are to be made by following a "plan"

    * get forced to buy product

    * enroll into an already saturated with employees market

    * have the terms and conditions of their contract altered repeatedly

    Certainly those things happen in the "real economy" but not in the amounts they occur in MLM and most certainly without the hype and outright lies which seem all too common in what passes for "Multi Level Marketing"
