  • Members of the Senate Commerce, Labor & Economic Development
    Members of the Senate Commerce, Labor & Economic Development Committee Presented by Dirk Bloemendaal, Amway Government Affairs (Ada, Michigan) Support for SB 2231 / Strengthening State Pyramid Scheme Law Introduction: On behalf of our 2,000 Kansas independent business owners, I wish to express Amway’s strong support for SB 2231, a bill that would strengthen Kansas’s anti-pyramid scheme law. Kansas has a law on the books that needs to be updated and strengthened. SB 2231 will also draw a clear line of distinction between legitimate direct selling opportunities in Kansas and illegal pyramid schemes. Too often, pyramid schemes succeed because of the lack of clear laws defining them. Pyramid schemes continue to appear and re-invent themselves around the country despite the best efforts of the law enforcement community. SB 2231 will more clearly define illegal pyramid promotional schemes and help protect Kansans from becoming victims. The new law will also protect legitimate direct selling opportunities, such as those offered by Amway, Mary Kay, Avon, Nu Skin, Pampered Chef, Shaklee, Southwestern Advantage, Thirty-One Gifts, Tupperware and many other well-respected companies. Thousands of Kansans are independent distributors of these income-earning opportunities, supplementing their family incomes by selling quality products to family, friends, and neighbors, while interesting others to do the same. Amway alone has over 2,000 independent Kansas distributors, working to help their families. The line of distinction separating out their legal small businesses from illegal pyramid schemes must be clear and strong. What Pyramid Schemes Are: Pyramid schemes are illegal get-rich-quick schemes in which the main source of money comes from paying large recruiting fees – not from the sales of real product to real consumers.

Is MLM a profitable business These conclusions were confirmed in the opportunity? And if so, for whom? Just do the average earnings reports of all 30 MLMs for math – the numbers don't lie.

Such statistics rigorous and thorough analysis of MLM are invaluable for analysts to debunk the profitability ever done by an independent many misrepresentations that are told to research firm. Questions about the viability thousands of prospects every day. and profitability of MLM as a business model Failure and loss rates for MLMs are not and its many company manifestations are comparable with legitimate small answered in this and prior chapters – based businesses, which have been found to be on 15 years’ research, worldwide feedback, profitable for 39% over the lifetime of the and analysis of the compensation plans of business; whereas less than 1% of MLM over 350 of the leading MLMs, as well as participants profit.

Matthew F. Leitman v. VISALUS, INC. et al., Defendants. ________________________________/ OPINION AND ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND DENYING IN PART DEFENDANTS’ MOTIONS TO DISMISS (ECF ## 61, 62) Case 2:14-cv-12693-MFL-DRG ECF No. 75 filed 03/09/16 PageID.<pageID> Page 2 of 55 In their First Amended Complaint, Plaintiffs Timothy Kerrigan (“Kerrigan”), Lori Mikovich (“Mikovich”), and Ryan Valli (“Valli”) (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) allege that they were defrauded by an illegal scheme created and operated by the Defendants. Plaintiffs say that in 2012 and 2013 they attended events promoting Defendant ViSalus, Inc. (“ViSalus”), a retailer of weight-loss shakes. (See First Am. Compl., ECF #55 at ¶¶ 8-14.) Plaintiffs allege that at these events, they were misled into paying to enroll in the “ViSalus Program” – the system through which “individual promoters” (“IPs”) earn commissions and bonuses for selling ViSalus products and recruiting other IPs. Plaintiffs insist that the ViSalus Program is a fraudulent pyramid scheme, and they claim that they lost all of the money they paid to ViSalus to enroll in the program. Plaintiffs first filed this action against ViSalus and many individuals and entities allegedly associated with ViSalus on July 9, 2014 (the “Complaint”). (See ECF #1.) Plaintiffs alleged in the Complaint that the Defendants violated, and conspired to violate, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, 18 U.S.C.
