MLM NEWS AND ABSURDITIES, WEEKEND of 22-MAR-2014

In various MLM News and Absurdities... We have 3 events to cover.

RAY LIOTTA (the actor) SUES NERIUM, CALLED IT "PRODUCT-BASED PYRAMID SCHEME"

Ray Liotta, best known for his role in "Goodfellas", is pretty famous for having a somewhat pocky-face. One can imagine his outrage when some before/after photo on social network popped up claiming that his face is now MUCH smoother, thanks to some products by "Nerium".  And this was repeated from October to December of 2013, and may still be happening. So he sued, and he outright stated that Nerium is a "product-based pyramid scheme" in the lawsuit.

Nerium claimed it had no knowledge of such photo or alleged endorsement and will investigate.

And thanks to Rod "MLMWatchdog" Cook, here's the lawsuit itself.

COMMENTARY: Don't EVER make up **** like this without getting it straight from the company, not upline, not sales leader... STRAIGHT FROM THE COMPANY! Now somebody will pay the price.

Italy's Financial Regulators (Guardia di Finanze) Special Market Protection Unit, Anti-Trust Group, just issued fines to Vemma Italy (100K Euro fine), Asea Italy (150K Euro fine), and Organo Gold Europe (250K Euro fine) for "unfair business practices" (i.e. pyramid sales) of pushing illegal MLM beverage business.

Asea and Organo Gold got extra fines because they also made unsubstantiated health claims. Asea apparently claimed their product strengthens the immune system, promote healing process, and reduce harmful effects of free radicals. Organo Gold apparently claimed that their ganoderma mushroom made it effective in prophylaxis of nerve diseases, vascular diseases, and cancer, without side effects.
