Yep. It's true. After taking comments on this proposal for about a year, the FTC finally decided that they would EXCLUDED MLMs from requirements of disclosing and verifying income claims, etc.

You can read the FTC's final document on it at this link: http://www.ftc.gov/os/2008/03/R511993business.pdf

Very sad and stupid in my opinion. Suddenly, they think MLMs are business opportunities?!   :gah:  Mary Kay themselves calls it a business opportunity.

The scams of MLMs will continue. Consumers beware because the FTC isn't informing and protecting you as they should.

Idiots.  Did they believe all those form letters sent by the semi-literate, brainwashed, in the pink/orange/green/whatever bubbles rather than the well thought out, individualized, heartfelt letters from the used/abused/misled?

Ticks me off.   Bash Bash Bash

Isn't there something about the government being the best men and women money can buy?

I wonder what was being offered in exchange for a favorable ruling...
