In October 2022, Neora won a crucial legal battle against the FTC, challenging pyramid scheme allegations. The Neora lawsuit against the FTC highlighted the absence of a federal law defining ‘pyramid schemes’ and the unconstitutional efforts to override state laws. The victory was significant for MLM companies, which emphasized the need for clear legal guidelines.

The lawsuit, initiated by Jeff Olsen, argued that MLM companies could not be expected to comply with non-existent laws. This case underscored the importance of fighting unjust persecutions and protecting the rights of MLM participants.

Alarming Precedents: Trump and Hosseinipour Convictions

If it could happen to Trump, based on bending the law to find a criminal statute, it could happen to you! This happened to Hosseinipour, where a “pyramid scheme,” a regulatory contrivance with no criminal law of definition, was manipulated to fit a mail fraud statute. Understand how dangerous case precedents, if not overturned, can impact MLM participants and make your ordinary business activities, such as recruiting criminal offenses.

Trump's Conviction

Trump’s case demonstrates the dangers of unfettered allowance to stretch the law to find a crime for political purposes. The same judicial overreach threatens every mlm participant who can be charged in a broad conspiracy if the DOJ alleges your company to be a pyramid scheme.

Hosseinipour's Conviction

The details of Faraday Hosseinipour’s case demonstrate how simple participation in an mlm alleged pyramid scheme could land anyone behind bars for up to 20 years.

A TALE OF TWO CONVICTIONS

Trump vs. Hosseinipour: A Dangerous Precedent

The criminal convictions of President Trump have opened eyes to the reality that anyone can become a criminal defendant with an overzealous prosecutor with motives that exclude justice. The DOJ has been weaponized to target ordinary citizens like Hosseinipour without proof of criminal intent, defying justice and setting a dangerous precedent for MLM participants. The Government claims that criminal intent is unnecessary if you participate in a pyramid scheme. This defies the law. If the precedent holds, unknowingly, MLM distributors will be indicted if the DOJ claims their MLM business is a pyramid scheme. This comparison underscores the need for legal reforms to protect MLM participants and all Americans from judicial overreach and ambiguous legal interpretation.

THE IMPACT OF MLM ANTIPATHYT

 

Multi-level marketing (MLM) often faces negative perceptions, which played a significant role in the I2G case. The defendants were unfairly judged due to the common misconception that MLMs are inherently fraudulent. This antipathy influenced the jury’s decision, leading to convictions based on bias rather than facts. The case serves as a stark reminder of the challenges MLM participants face and the importance of combating these prejudices to ensure fair treatment in the legal system.

The I2G case illustrates how deep-seated biases against MLM can lead to unjust outcomes. The court’s portrayal of all MLMs as get-rich-quick schemes demonstrates the bias that led to the defendants’ convictions. This negative perception not only affects those directly involved in this case but also poses a threat to the entire MLM industry. It’s crucial for industry leaders and distributors to be aware of these biases and work towards changing the narrative to protect their livelihoods and the future of MLM.

THE URGENCY OF OVERTURNING THE I2G CONVICTIONS

Safeguarding MLM Participants from Unjust Prosecution

 

The recent convictions in the Infinity Two Global (I2G) case have set a dangerous precedent that threatens the entire multi-level marketing (MLM) industry. The court’s decision to convict without requiring proof of criminal intent (mens rea) has created a chilling effect, where any MLM distributor could be at risk of prosecution simply for participating in their business. This alarming development underscores the urgent need to overturn these convictions to protect the rights of MLM participants and ensure a fair legal environment.

The implications of the I2G case extend far beyond the individuals involved. If this precedent stands, it could lead to widespread fear and uncertainty among MLM distributors, who may feel vulnerable to criminal charges despite their honest efforts to build a legitimate business. The fight to overturn these convictions is not just about correcting a legal wrong; it’s about preserving the freedom and security of every MLM participant. We must advocate for a legal framework that distinguishes between genuine business activities and fraudulent schemes, ensuring that MLM distributors can operate without the constant threat of unjust prosecution.
