Tru Dynamics was the second of 5 large ticket conference / pyramid schemes that Tim Darnell was involved with. Darnell wrote a glowing testimonial about being his own man and making a fabulous income and his wife being able to stay home with the kiddies and more, but in reality it was another scam that quickly imploded leaving a trail of devastation in its wake and some fascinating testimony under oath by Darnell.

His downline sued him and Darnell in County Court at Law # 3 in Dallas renounced his citizenship to try to weasel out of that legitimate lawsuit.

Millionaire Mindsetters - Page 1 - News - Houston - Houston Press (http://www.houstonpress.com/2006-12-14/news/millionaire-mindsetters/)

The first thing you need to know about Timothy Spencer Darnell (http://www.houstonpress.com/related/to/Timothy+Spencer+Darnell) is that he's not a U.S. citizen. Or at least not when it suits him.


In 2001, three months after a former client sued Darnell, Darnell filed an affidavit in Dallas County Court claiming that he's not a citizen, that the Dallas County Court-at-Law #3 is "an underling corporate fiction of the State of Texas, a corporation and a fiction," and that the court has no jurisdiction over him. Darnell's renunciation of the United States of America was supplemented by supporting affidavits by other Dallas-area noncitizens who claimed that Darnell "cannot receive a fair and impartial trial by jury of his peers by law in County Court-at-Law #3." When contacted by the Houston Press, affiant Mary Lou Starnater declined to say why she filed that affidavit, then hung up. (Darnell's wife's maiden name is Starnater.)


Brett Flagg (http://www.houstonpress.com/related/to/Brett+Flagg), the Dallas attorney who represented Darnell's disgruntled client, said his client invested several thousand dollars in a company Darnell ran called Tru Dynamics. Flagg said the affidavit signaled a hard row ahead for his client, who decided to just call it a loss and move on.


Darnell has an entirely different recollection. He says he did not file the affidavit in response to a suit, but as a response to an affidavit filed by someone else that included Darnell's name in all upper-case letters.


Maybe it's best to let Darnell explain in his own words:


"The use of my name in upper-case letters...What that does, when you use uppercase letters, it signifies that you are a state-created entity. In other words...you're not a living human being, you're a corporation. And I was disputing that fact by this affidavit."
Uh, okay. And that stuff about not being a U.S. citizen?
Darnell offers this clear, riddle-free response:


"There is a definition of the United States...the specific definition of that is Washington, D.C. and Guam (http://www.houstonpress.com/related/to/Guam) and some of the holdings of the United States -- I think it's a 17-mile radius, if I remember correctly, around the capital: there's a definition that says that that's what the United States is, and I am clarifying that that is not the case. I do not live there."

Here is his original filing:

I archived the website years ago:

TDI (Travel Dynamics, Inc.) (OTCBB:TDNM) is a Nevada corporation (referred to with its subsidiary as the Company or TDI) does business through a wholly owned operating subsidiary, Tru Dynamics, Inc. The Company's common stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol TDNM.

Its products include the flagship Entertainment and Travel Package, tax reduction programs, various marketing, training and motivational conferences, and now e-Commerce website programs and Internet Access Service.

A rising proportion of the Company's revenues are derived from educational, training and motivational seminars targeted to operators of home-based businesses. The Company charges a fee for attending these seminars, providing an additional income stream to the Company.

In 1999, Tru Dynamics introduced a new family of tax reduction products. The programs are designed to assist individuals, small business owners and financial managers to fully understand, appreciate and implement all the various special tax breaks available to them. The first two day TruTax Conference was held in Phoenix in January 2000.

Wave 4 : Network Marketing in the 21st Century
by Richard Poe

From the moment it was released in 1994, Richard Poe's Wave 3 was an instant classic. The book that foretold the network marketing revolution went on to become a bestseller of legendary proportions. Now, the award-winning journalist and New York Times-bestselling author returns with his long-awaited follow-up. In Wave 4, he reveals the next and most spectacular phase of network marketing--the coming transformation of this $90-billion industry by the power of 21st-century technology. Instant communication and a wired world are making it more possible than ever to offer network marketing's opportunities to an almost limitless number of people. Wave 4 also profiles the industry's emerging stars and their organizations, introduces ordinary men and women who are achieving success beyond their wildest dreams, and describes why blue-chip corporations are turning to network marketing to boost their profits.



The New Professionals : The Rise of Network Marketing As the Next Major Profession
by Charles W. King, James W. Robinson

Every year, thousands of men and women leave established, lucrative careers to pursue new opportunities in the booming network marketing industry. The New Professionals is the first book that examines this trend and how it's changing forever the face of multi-level marketing. James W. Robinson, bestselling author of The Excel Phenomenon, and Charles W. King, Ph.D., prominent professor who teaches the nation's only college-level course on network marketing, introduce you to the new professionals who have overcome their initial skepticism to enthusiastically embrace the rewards of network marketing. Here you will meet men and women who have exceeded the income and prestige of their previous careers, such as the Air Force flight surgeon who, after years of working multiple jobs to support his family, became a distributor and tripled his previous income; the physician who found incredible success as a part-time distributor--and also the freedom to keep practicing medicine; and the hard-working college professor who found that as a network distributor he could finally give his family the attention they deserved--and enjoy a comfortable income.


Rich Dad, Poor Dad : What the Rich Teach Their Kids About Money That the Poor & Middle Class Do Not!
by Robert T. Kiyosaki, Sharon L. Lechter (Contributor)

Personal-finance author and lecturer Robert Kiyosaki developed his unique economic perspective through exposure to a pair of disparate influences: his own highly educated but fiscally unstable father, and the multimillionaire eighth-grade dropout father of his closest friend. The lifelong monetary problems experienced by his "poor dad" (whose weekly paychecks, while respectable, were never quite sufficient to meet family needs) pounded home the counterpoint communicated by his "rich dad" (that "the poor and the middle class work for money," but "the rich have money work for them"). Taking that message to heart, Kiyosaki was able to retire at 47. Rich Dad, Poor Dad, written with consultant and CPA Sharon L. Lechter, lays out his the philosophy behind his relationship with money. Although Kiyosaki can take a frustratingly long time to make his points, his book nonetheless compellingly advocates for the type of "financial literacy" that's never taught in schools. Based on the principle that income-generating assets always provide healthier bottom-line results than even the best of traditional jobs, it explains how those assets might be acquired so that the jobs can eventually be shed.



Permission Marketing: Turning Strangers Into Friends, and Friends into Customers
by Seth Godin

Seth Godin, one of the world's foremost online promoters, offers his best advice for advertising in Permission Marketing. Godin argues that businesses can no longer rely solely on traditional forms of "interruption advertising" in magazines, mailings, or radio and television commercials. He writes that today consumers are bombarded by marketing messages almost everywhere they go. If you want to grab someone's attention, you first need to get his or her permission with some kind of bait--a free sample, a big discount, a contest, an 800 number, or even just an opinion survey. Once a customer volunteers his or her time, you're on your way to establishing a long-term relationship and making a sale. "By talking only to volunteers, Permission Marketing guarantees that consumers pay more attention to the marketing message," he writes. "It serves both customers and marketers in a symbiotic exchange."

We’ll also tell you a little about the site and why it might be useful to you in your efforts.

Brilliant Compensation
www.brilliantcompensation.org (http://web.archive.org/web/20010223204343/http:/www.brilliantcompensation.org/)
An excellent site and program which offers educational information about Network Marketing. The site is created by Dr. Charles King and Tim Sales, who help you understand and present the primary benefits of Network Marketing as the business model for the future.
MLM Insider Magazine
www.mlminsider.com (http://web.archive.org/web/20010223204343/http:/www.mlminsider.com/)
A resourceful site which contains Industry News, offers, discussion forums and chat rooms, classified ads, and other useful information. Leans a little towards “old school” Network Marketing, but still helpful. There are lots of advertising and banners within there so keep your eyes open for the good stuff.
The Duplicator
www.theduplicator.com (http://web.archive.org/web/20010223204343/http:/www.theduplicator.com/)
This is a great site with some good information and some pretty solid services that they offer. There are a couple of great articles in there including “The Seven Principles of Passive Wealth”. They also have a free email newsletter which is worth subscribing to.
Network Marketing Lifestyles Magazine
www.nmlifestyles.com (http://web.archive.org/web/20010223204343/http:/www.nmlifestyles.com/)
Probably the most popular newstand magazine when it comes to the industry, this site lets you find and read some of the recent articles. The magazine is definately worth subscribing to, but until then you can use their web site.
Direct Selling Association
www.dsa.org (http://web.archive.org/web/20010223204343/http:/www.dsa.org/)
The DSA is the national trade association of the leading firms that manufacture and distribute goods and services sold directly to consumers, and there are a lot of Network Marketing companies who are members. (In fact, they make up the majority.) The site has some interesting facts and information, including a list of member companies and the types of products they sell. Also check out the section entitled “The Direct Selling Industry” for some great research about the industry.
Six Figure Income
www.sixfigureincome.com (http://web.archive.org/web/20010223204343/http:/www.sixfigureincome.com/)
There is an underlying sales pitch for the magazine and a number of other services at this site, but if you can endure that then there is some good information to be found through their newsletter and other articles.
Upline Magazine
www.upline.com (http://web.archive.org/web/20010223204343/http:/www.upline.com/)
This magazine is published more as a big newsletter than anything because there are few advertisements. They have a couple “special reports” which are excellent, but most of the other articles are password protected for subscribers. Their articles and information are first class - another one you may want to add to your subscription list mainly because it’s hard to find in bookstores.
Multi-Level Marketing Directory and Links
www.mlmdir.com (http://web.archive.org/web/20010223204343/http:/www.mlmdir.com/)
Simply put, this site is kind of like Yahoo!, but for Network Marketers and has links to about every resource under the sun. They have a classified ad area in their where you market the opportunity, but the effectiveness is unknown.

Some of the resources and tools come from third-party vendors who have created a relationship with Tru Dynamics in order to provide you with services and products that assist you in your efforts.

Review...

Jim P along with Bobbie Stratman of Denver scammed me for 20Gs along with a number of other people who lost similar money in their travel, tax seminar and supposedly bankrupt company Tru Dynamics. Beware.

This was a pyramid scam and Jim, Mary, and Bobbie and the others involved all presented themselves as deeply religious and willing to help until they had your money. Then they don't know you. I hope they all feel really good about themselves. These kind of people give independent business a bad name.

Cult Help and Information - Millionaire Mindsetters (http://www.culthelp.info/index.php?id=2854&option=com_content&task=view)

So where did Darnell get his training? Why should you feel comfortable giving him your $10,000? Let's take a look.

After graduating Texas Tech, Darnell toured with his gospel group, Dreamer. He was drawn into the business world of multilevel marketing. He cut his teeth at companies like Amway, and, he says, "I became fairly adept at compensation plans and actually wrote the compensation plan for a company called United Sciences of America in 1986. And that was a big program here in the Dallas area."

Carrollton-based United Sciences sold a nutritional plan that included something called the Fiber Energy Bar. By eating said bar and others in the United Sciences family, the company claimed, one could protect oneself against AIDS, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, PMS, acne and dandruff. This was one motherf*cking candy bar.
The company relied on reps to sell the product, promising big rewards if they signed on with the United Sciences team. It hired William Shatner to narrate a promotional video. It paid New York Mets pitcher Gary Carter $50,000 to say in the tape, "Join me and hit a financial grand slam."

In January 1987 the Texas Attorney General's office sued United Sciences for allegedly running an illegal pyramid scheme. Attorneys general in New York and California filed similar suits. At the time United Sciences filed for bankruptcy, it claimed to have 140,000 reps. (In October 1987 a permanent injunction against United was issued in a Dallas district court. Under the terms of the agreed settlement, United did not admit any wrongdoing or liability.)

In his deposition for the Dallas BBB suit, Darnell said he also worked for Global Prosperity Group and NuSkin Enterprises.

Global Prosperity reps pitched $1,200 worth of tapes and a $6,200 conference (in "tropical locations") designed to teach recruits how to get rich via tax loopholes. By 1999, authorities in six states filed cease-and-desist orders against Global. Quatloos.com (http://quatloos.com/), a fraud watchdog web site run by California attorney Jay Adkisson, states: "The slimy-est of the slimy, Global Prosperity marks the absolute rock-bottom low of the MLM [multi-level-marketing] programs. There simply is no MLM program which is more of a scam, or has such a disreputable background, as Global Prosperity and its many equally-sordid spin-offs ... Global Prosperity's reputation is so bad that other network marketers will often add a disclaimer to the bottom of their own spams and advertisements which says 'Not Global Prosperity.'" (Adkisson is an asset protection attorney who has testified as an expert witness before the U.S. Senate Finance Committee on matters of charity oversight and financial fraud.)
Global later operated under different names, including the Institute of Global Prosperity, whose offices were raided by the IRS in 2001. In 2003, two former Institute administrators pled guilty in federal court for tax evasion. (Darnell was only a representative with these companies and was not part of any legal actions.)

As for NuSkin, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission fined the nutritional supplements company $1.5 million in 1997 for violating an earlier order requiring the company to have "competent and reliable scientific evidence to support benefits claims for any product they sell." Under the terms of the payment, NuSkin did not admit any wrongdoing. Today, NuSkin is a thriving company, claiming 820,000 representatives. It also runs two charities which provide food and education for needy children worldwide.
Created by Mormons, NuSkin is based in Utah, which is ground zero for multilevel-marketing companies. Jeffrey Ressner examined Mormons' ties to nutritional supplement multilevel marketing for Time in October. "More than 100 supplement companies dot the terrain alongside I-15 snaking through Salt Lake City, Utah, generating $4 billion in annual sales — four times the revenue of the state's more famous ski trade," he wrote. Such companies are popular not only among mainstream Mormons, but among their polygamous fundamentalist offshoots just across the border in Arizona as well. Enter Darnell's next business partners.

Darnell met his polygamous buds in 2000, when he was with an Arizona-based multilevel-marketing company called Tru Dynamics, which sold an "Executive Conference Experience." By 2001, Darnell and a handful of coworkers left Tru Dynamics and formed a company called Liberty League International, which sold its own conference. The head of Tru Dynamics sued the defectors in an Arizona court for conspiring to hijack Tru Dynamics' customers. The Liberty Leaguers filed a counterclaim accusing Tru Dynamics of breach of contract.

The suit was eventually dismissed and Liberty League went on to do huge sales. In May, the company paid $115,000 in a settlement with the Arizona Attorney General's office, amid customer complaints. A statement issued by the AG's office indicated that "the majority of participants did not earn enough to cover the amount they paid to buy the products sold to them."

The money, according to the statement, would be used to pay for "consumer education, attorneys' fees and investigation costs, and victim restitution to be determined at a later date."
While Liberty League promised not to make "unsubstantiated income claims" and to "refrain from making any false or deceptive statements in their marketing materials," the company did not admit any wrongdoing.
It is one scam after the next for these clowns.
