There’s a new documentary coming out today Betting on Zero: The Ultimate Shakedown which exposes Herbalife, one of the largest MLM’s(Check out the link to watch the trailer and find a screening location). I hope documentaries like this continue to raise public awareness of commercial cults. Once you understand their tactics, you can protect yourself and help your loved ones avoid recruitment. With the appointment of Betsy DeVos as the United States Secretary of Education, and the fact that much of her family’s wealth comes from Amway, it seems like the public is in great need of learning more about Multi-Level Marketers and how they operate. My colleagues who research and study these groups feel that under the current administration, there will be even more aggressive, deceptive efforts if MLM operators know there will be no equally aggressive federal prosecution. Now I see Google ad that falsely represents that Bill Ackman financed the movie- something the award-winning filmmaker, Ted Braun categorically denies.
