Are MLMs legal? If not, what explains the inaction by law enforcement


Are MLMs legal? If not, what explains the inaction by law enforcement
1. The case can easily be made that virtually all MLMs are violating some federal and state laws, although law enforcement seldom acts against them – partly because victims of endless chains rarely file complaints. For the same reason (as well as financial support from MLMs and the DSA – see #3 below), the Better Business Bureau seldom issues a negative report on major MLMs. The media are also largely silent.
2. The DSA (Direct Selling Association, the major MLM lobbying group), together with major MLMs, work together as a cartel to weaken laws and regulatory efforts against product-based pyramid schemes. Through promised votes and carefully placed political contributions to Attorneys General and other key politicians, they have been successful in getting laws passed in Utah and other states that exempt MLMs from prosecution as pyramid schemes. They have donated to the political campaigns of presidential candidates and to those with oversight responsibility for the Federal Trade Commission to assure that no action is taken on the federal level by the FTC or any other agency.
3. Even the Better Business Bureau is corrupted by support from the DSA/MLM cartel, members of which are ―corporate sponsors‖ of the BBB. Amway, for example, gets an A+ rating from the BBB – which says more about the BBB than it says about Amway.
4. Law enforcement officials, the media, and MLM victims, have become conditioned to focus on the question of whether or not an MLM is a pyramid scheme. Since the DSA/MLM lobby has successfully obfuscated this issue with the indeterminate question of what percentage ot products are consumed,, nothing gets done. The issue of whether or not an MLM is an unfair and

deceptive practice is more easily determined, as this report proves.
5. Most MLM participants spend no more than a few hundred dollars in products and services and then drop out. They are the lucky ones. Despite having spent more than they received, few blame the company for their losses – even large losses. They have been taught that they (not the company) are responsible for any failures. Except for the first ones to join an MLM, generally those who invest the most, lose the most. New recruits are being sold a ticket on a flight that has already left the ground.
6. The silence of victims of MLMs is also explained by the fact that in every endless chain, major victims are also perpetrators, having recruited as many people as possible to at least recover costs of participation. So they fear self-incrimination if they file a formal complaint, and they fear consequences from or to those they recruited – which often include close friends or family
