I don't disagree. But how is the word 'scam' defined? We are chasing our tails without that clearer definition.

And that's the 'beauty' of MLM. EVERYONE is a promoter to a different degree.
Arrest one big time promoter, and another takes their place.
Prosecute after the damage is done. I'd like to stop it before it happens. We can't unless the definition is clear. And round and round the 50 year merry-go-round we go.
I do agree that everything helps. I just have my eye on the prize. Sorry if I sound preachy. If someone has a better solution, I'm all ears. Harsh as my position sounds, about making endless chain recruitment based opps illegal, I see no other way.
We can't police all the criminals, so we have to make people responsible for the own actions. (Drunk drivers, not alcohol sellers)
I'll give it a rest - for now ;)

Hmmnn,
doesn't look like a highly successful advertising platform with 50,000 plus people clamouring to have their identities verified to me
In fact, despite all the supposed success of TM 2, the downward death spiral looks to be fairly constant to me

Re: Traffic monsoon. Better than MAPS with trusted admin Charles Scoville
This may be a little technical for the "I got paid" crowd, or in the case of Monsoon, "hope we get paid round August" crowd. You guys can just enjoy the stuff Bigg bought with your money, ask him about how cool it is.
All I really heard was regurgitated Rich Dad drivel about deprecating assets and tax advice that was equally uninformed.
Bigg mentions taking deductions for his truck over five years which is silly since it is a 179 asset, that is if he really has a business. Due to its size, almost certainly fully deductible year one. The only reasons I can think someone wouldn't take it is they don't know about it (that's not so bad ass) or they aren't making enough money (equally un-bad ass).
No wonder we're three scams up, and three scams down with this guy.

You cannot elect to expense more than $25,000 of the cost of any heavy sport utility vehicle (SUV) and certain other vehicles placed in service during the tax year. This rule applies to any 4-wheeled vehicle primarily designed or used to carry passengers over public streets, roads, or highways, that is rated at more than 6,000 pounds gross vehicle weight and not more than 14,000 pounds gross vehicle weight. However, the $25,000 limit does not apply to any vehicle:
Equipped with a cargo area (either open or enclosed by a cap) of at least six feet in interior length that is not readily accessible from the passenger compartment

This was really a really hot topic a few years back, if Whip's math is correct I'm surprised our business bad at math missed it...
Early last decade, there was a public furor over the “Hummer loophole” which allowed small business owners and self employed folks (including doctors, real estate agents and others with a purported business use for a vehicle) to deduct most of the cost of purchasing big SUVs.
Back then, taxpayers were exploiting Section 179 of the U.S. Tax Code – a provision designed to allow small businesses to expense (or immediately write off) small capital investments. As part of the 2003 Bush tax cuts, the maximum Section 179 write-off was increased from $24,000 to $100,000. In October 2004, after the Hummer hullabaloo, Congress limited the write-off for trucks weighing between 6,000 and 14,000 pounds to $25,000, curbing luxury SUVs’ tax appeal. (Write-offs for luxury cars were already more limited.) Forbes Welcome

vehicle is a 1999 at worst, 2005 at best. I believe that loophole was only one year. contractors were allowed to buy big iron too - backhoe, excavator, etc

Gee, that will be a giant comfort to those thousands of Traffic Monsoon members who aren't being paid.
They can go to bed tonight, hungry and unpaid, knowing the critics were wrong and Scoville CAN legally run away to Dubai.

I put this out as food for thought, China is pretty harsh with its punishment for Ponzi and Pyramid schemes. As in the hangman might slap your wrist on the way up to the gallows.
Yet, I can think of several billion dollar scams that either targeted or originated out of China. Maybe people think "this guy will be hanged if this is a scam", so it has to be legit?

To quote the late Glenn Frey, "the lure of easy money has a very strong appeal", and fighting against that is like swimming upstream.

Although seldom do I see victims really pushing civilly or criminally for any sort of justice. More probably join the next scam to get even than encourage regulators to act.

For discussions sake I don't know there is much difference if Scoville was arrested for fraud versus having eighteen scams to his name in how many of us would invest with him. Of course others have the doe eyed notion that if Monsoon was illegal the authorities would have moved in, and Chuck has learned from his past hiccups.
You're right if not Chuck, someone.

As much as I hate to say it until the latter happens, the first is nearly impossible. Too many of the people getting involved in these schemes want shiny stuff on the easy. Even if these things weren't charades telling some folks the world will demand a little more than 10 clicks per day and a BMW pic on the fridge is anathema.
