Forever Living prohibited from making deceptive claims of multilevel marketing earnings.


Over 20 years ago in my old web-site at

    https://ariplex.com/ama/ama_p0.htm

I wrote A LOT about "multilevel marketing" (an expression to cover up snowball-systems) and Forever Living Products was one of the companies I had in the crosshairs.

Today, more than 20 years later, the glorious US-American "Federal Trade Commission" (FTC) has prohibited Forever Living from making deceptive claims of multilevel marketing earnings.

It took the FTC more than 20 years. How do these guys bind their shoe-laces, I might ask.

More than 20 years, that is a disgrace. They should have done it over 20 years ago!

Do we have to wait for everything for more than 20 years?

* Forever Living prohibited from making deceptive claims of multilevel marketing earnings.

* TruHeight settles charges of deceptively advertising height-enhancing supplements.

-------------------------

Forever Living prohibited from making deceptive claims of multilevel marketing earnings. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has announced that operators of multilevel marketing (MLM) company Forever Living will be permanently prohibited from deceiving potential distributors to believe they could earn profits when the vast majority of participants made little or no money. The FTC alleged in its complaint [1] (64-page PDF) that Forever Living Products International LLC, its CEO Gregg Maughan, and its President Aidan O'Hare, as well as Forever Living.com LLC used deceptive earnings claims to attract new participants called Forever Business Owners (FBOs), most of whom made no money or even lost money. Other allegations included:

    * Forever Living claimed participants could make money by selling health and wellness products either in person or online through the company's website and by recruiting new participants who would do the same.
    * Through in-person meetings and conferences, internet and social media posts and videos, and print materials, Forever Living used images of luxury cars and giant checks, and claims of profits ranging from extra income to replacing a full-time job to tout the potential earnings from selling its products or recruiting new FBOs.
    * According to company data, in each of the last five years at least 77% of FBOs who purchased, sold or recruited during the year did not receive any compensation.
    * Even after two full years as FBOs, more than 89% of new participants had not received enough income to recoup their initial $300-plus start-up cost.
    * For years, the company's public income disclosure statements falsely implied that everyone who had chosen to pursue the MLM income opportunity was making money, and that others who "joined" only wished to purchase products "at a discounted price" and had "elected not to participate in [the] Marketing Plan."
    * Forever Living knew that nearly 90% of FBOs had received no income through the company and it had no basis for suggesting they were _not_ trying to make money.
    * Training materials encourage FBOs to tout Forever Living as a flexible way to earn extra money in order to recruit new participants.
    * Forever Living misled FBOs with claims that they are likely to earn money based on purchases or sales made by FBOs they recruit, known as their "downline," when the company's data shows that less than 7% of FBOs received income from the sales and purchases made by their downline FBOs.

Under the proposed order [2] settling the FTC's allegations, the defendants must:

    * have substantiation for any earnings claims and must provide substantiation for any earnings claim they make if a U.S. consumer requests it
    * not misrepresent that participants have made, will or are likely to make or receive earnings (or any particular amount of earnings)
    * not misrepresent the reasons participants do not make money in Forever's MLM, including claims that participants who do not make money aren't trying to
    * not misrepresent that participants are likely to recruit others into their downline
    * not misrepresent other facts about the MLM opportunity that would be important to consumers.

[FTC order to prohibit Forever Living and its operators from deceiving consumers about potential earnings [3]. FTC press release, April 14, 2026]

Truth In Advertising has archived examples of Forever Living's deceptive promotional efforts. It notes:

The FTC's crackdown on Forever Living's deceptive earnings claims follows a three-year investigation that commenced shortly after TINA.org sent a detailed complaint [4] to the agency in the spring of 2022 outlining more than 5,500 inappropriate income claims [5]. TINA.org's complaint is referenced in the FTC's lawsuit.

[FTC cracks down on Forever Living following years of deception [6]. Truth In Advertising, April 15, 2026]

TruHeight settles charges of deceptively advertising height-enhancing supplements. Nevada-based Vanilla Chip LLC, which does business as TruHeight, and its two principals, Eden Stelmach and Justin Rapoport, have agreed to settle Federal Trade Commission (FTC) charges that they: (a) deceptively advertised the effectiveness of a range of supplements touted as supporting height growth in children and teenagers, and (b) promoted fake product reviews. The proposed administrative order [7] (13-page PDF) resolving the FTC's complaint imposes a $4 million judgment on TruHeight and its principals, which will be partially suspended based on respondents' inability to pay the full amount. The proposed order also:

    * prohibits respondents from making false or unsubstantiated height and growth claims;
    * bans respondents from making any claims about the health benefits, performance, efficacy, safety, or side effects of any product covered by the order, unless the claim is not misleading and is supported by competent and reliable scientific evidence;
    * prohibits TruHeight from misrepresenting: (a) that a reviewer exists, (b) that a reviewer used the product, service, or business being reviewed, or (c) the reviewer's experience with the product, service, or business being reviewed; and
    * prohibits TruHeight from buying consumer reviews conditioned on a particular sentiment - whether positive or negative - about the product being reviewed.

TruHeight has been selling supplements that purport to boost height growth in children and teenagers since at least 2020. According to the FTC's complaint [8] (14-page PDF), TruHeight:

    * made via social media, search engine ads, email campaigns, and the company's website unsubstantiated promotional claims for its products including: "Help your child grow taller! Pure Ingredients, Real Results" and "The Only Supplement Clinically Proven to Help Height Growth"
    * posted on its website until at least November 2024, several five-star reviews purportedly written by customers that were actually written by company employees
    * offered consumers free and discounted products in exchange for leaving five-star reviews on its website and on third-party platforms
    * used fake social media profiles that were in reality run by automated bots to post software-generated comments on TruHeight's Facebook and Instagram pages

[FTC takes action against TruHeight for deceptive and unsubstantiated advertising of supposed height-enhancing supplements for kids and teens [9]. FTC press release, April 13, 2026]

Truth In Advertising has provided additional details about the case, including that TruHeight (a) has agreed to pay $750,000 to settle the charges, and (b) faces a class-action lawsuit [10] over its growth claims.

The run for food - let the Chinese people die


China is running the ultimate feudal fascism. More than 1000 million citizens, so don't care when some millions disappear from the earth - there still will be more than enough to serve the ruling party oligarchs.

Digital Currency: Yuan comes with an expiry date: Spend or it will vanish

China's digital currency is programmable to have an expiry date, which gives its central bank to effectively and boost consumption demand or impose negative rates as required.

    ETBFSI

    Published On Apr 14, 2021 at 08:58 AM IST Read by 43106 Professionals

The Keynesian dream to boost the velocity of money may finally come true.

China is exploring expiration dates with its upcoming digital yuan, or DCEP, which means the currency will expire if not used in a certain timeframe.

The digital yuan is programmable to the point that the currency can be made to expire, thus forcing consumers to use it up by a certain date. This is a twist on an obscure, unconventional monetary policy innovation known as a Gesell currency: expiring money, which gives the issuing government a heightened degree of control over money velocity.

What's DCEP?

DCEP is the digital version of the yuan, China's physical currency. As such DCEP is the legal tender of the country, being issued by the central bank and parts of its liabilities. In a centralised system, the PBoC would issue DCEP to commercial banks against equivalent cash or banks' deposits at the central bank. Commercial banks would then distribute DCEP to their clients, assuming client facing interactions including Know Your Customer (KYC) due diligence. The PBoC can allow other intermediaries which can fulfill the same requirements to distribute its DCEP.

DCEP as a digital unit resides in digital wallets, whose app will be authorised by the PBoC and can be downloaded by users -— it is still unclear whether downloading the app would require formal registration. It has been claimed that DCEP can be transmitted directly from wallets to wallets independent of banks or any other intermediaries via the Internet or phone connections, or absent those connections, by putting two mobile phones close together—probably using near field communication protocols.

The reason for expiry

Programmable money, tied to real-world identities, and universally tracked by a central bank, is like a substitute for the consumer of last resort. Every year that China gets richer, domestic consumption plays a bigger role (exports were 26% of China's GDP in 2010, and 18% last year). If domestic consumption can be tightly controlled, then it's a way to not just increase the volume of consumption but to control the variance of demand for the goods China produces.

Features of the Chinese digital currency

The digital yuan does not live on a public ledger. It is controlled centrally by authorities, to be changed if, as, and when political whims require such.

This leaves some questions...

When a company pays the salary of a worker, it will send the money from its bank account to the employer's bank account. As soon as the money is booked for the receiver, it starts losing its value. But HOW!? A linear decay of 1 percent per day until the end? Or an e-function of loss? Or in some abrupt steps? The difference between these ways is fundamental!

What happens to companies? Will they be victims of the same type of loss? If not ALL owners of money are treated equally, WHO will be treated how? Could it be a strict selection, like only workers of a certain factory? Or town? Or young people below 30yo?

This is the ultimate bullwhip the feudalists ever could have dreamt of.

No-one is able anymore to save money. What is not spent, disappears. People are FORCED TO BUY.

Forced to buy. But buy what?

Since you can no longer save, let's say, 100.000 units, because the decay is faster than you earn the money, people are kept under a maximum money limit. If it were 100.000, what can you buy with that limit?

Lucky, who is able to store money in a different way. One thing is to do bartering. Or who can delay the money getting booked to his account. A whole new world of corruption will be created for just that.

You can not save, so WHAT do you buy !?

An other possible field of war: WHAT can be bought? Let's say, some factories produce certain products no-one wants to buy, but people are running out of choices - so they will buy this crap. Just to have something, which does not lose its value. Like kitchen ware or cloths.

The only way out: bartering in a gray market.

After WWII in Germany the cigarette currency ruled the gray market.


It is war.

It is a war of the government against the citizens.

Despite there are 2 pandemics raging, the government puts more pressure onto the citizens.

Mao the Kong was a great Lider. He caused the death of tens of millions of citizens. This time we are talking about hundreds of millions of dead.

Do not forget the global warfare China commits against the whole nature, by fishing the oceans empty.

Nothing left anymore means nothing to eat anymore.

China is committing a global genocide against the whole world population. Who cares about "some" hundred millions of Chinese going over the plank? NO-ONE !

It is war. You do not need bullets to kill people. Just let them starve. Like the European ruling Political class does so effectively...

It is war.

Starbucks CEO defends a cup of coffee costing $9

He says the customers needs to just not think about it as a $9 cup of coffee, you're paying for the "experience" of getting a Starbucks coffee

"In some cases a $9 experience does feel like you're splurging, and then what that means is we have to make it worthwhile."

He says Starbucks customers "want to have a special experience and regardless of what your income level is, in some cases, a $9 experience does feel like you're splurging —  well, this is a really affordable premium experience"

How out of touch could a person possibly be...

Crazy Vibes @CrazyVibes_1

She bought a cradle, left the door unlocked, and dared the city to stop her.

In 1869, New York City had a morning routine no one talked about. Municipal workers walked the alleys at dawn collecting the bodies of abandoned infants. It happened so often they stopped writing individual reports.

The mothers had nowhere to go. Widowed by war, abandoned by men chasing western gold, too poor to feed another mouth. If they surrendered a child to the almshouse, the city required their name, their address, proof of destitution. Public humiliation in exchange for a system where three out of four infants died within the year.

Sister Irene FitzGibbon had walked the charity wards long enough to understand the arithmetic of desperation. She was 46 years old. She had watched women choose death over documentation.
On an October morning, she and two other nuns moved into a brownstone on East 12th Street with five dollars and a plan the city had never seen before. She placed a white wicker cradle in the vestibule. She left the inner door cracked open. No questions. No names. No witnesses.

The concept violated every civic protocol. American institutions demanded accountability. The law required paperwork. Anonymous surrender didn't exist in the legal vocabulary.

City officials arrived within days. The police warned her about housing codes. Bureaucrats argued she was encouraging sin. She owed rent she couldn't pay and had already bought blankets on credit she'd never get.

A woman came the first night. She left a baby girl wrapped in a torn shawl with a note pinned to the fabric. The handwriting was shaky. The ink had run.

Within four weeks, there were more than forty infants in that house.

They ran out of cribs and used dresser drawers. The nuns slept in shifts on the floor. Babies cried through the night. A neighbor complained to the precinct once. His name appears in one police log and never again.

When the city refused funding, Sister Irene didn't petition. She didn't wait for legislative approval. She walked into the offices of merchants and politicians and presented them with physical reality: dozens of living children occupying a building the city could either support or publicly evict into February snow.

She understood something most reformers didn't. You don't ask permission to save lives. You save lives and make the bureaucracy catch up.

The city surrendered. They granted her the charter. The New York Foundling Hospital became an institution. Over her lifetime, it took in more than 27,000 children who would have otherwise died in alleys or ash barrels.

The white cradle stayed in that vestibule for decades. Thousands of women walked through that door in the dark and left their children in the hands of strangers because one woman decided the law was less important than a life.

The original brownstone is gone now. The steps where the cradle sat are part of a busy Manhattan sidewalk. Thousands of people walk over that exact spot every day without knowing what happened there.

Sister Irene FitzGibbon died in 1896. The New York Foundling still operates. It has served over 400,000 children since that first night.

Every person who has ever bent an unjust rule to protect someone vulnerable is walking in her footsteps.

She didn't wait for the system to change.

She just left the door open.

Staff at a Marine Research Center couldn't figure out why Tank 14's filtration kept failing every Monday. The system would be offline by morning, then somehow running again by noon. Security footage finally caught it.
A giant Pacific octopus named Hendrix had been unscrewing his own tank's outflow valve, squeezing through the gap into the maintenance corridor, and tightening a loose coupling on the neighboring seahorse exhibit - which had been leaking since 3 months. He did it six Mondays in a row.
Same sequence every time. The marine biologist who reviewed the footage said Hendrix had essentially taught himself basic plumbing.
They gave him a PVC puzzle toy as enrichment.
He disassembled it in nine minutes.

Ja, das ist ein klassisches Lügenmärchen / Viral-Fake.

@MrPitbull07

Die Geschichte von ,,Hendrix", dem Riesenpazifik-Oktopus, der jeden Montag heimlich sein Ventil aufschraubt, durch den Wartungsgang kriecht und die Dichtung am Seepferdchen-Becken repariert, ist nicht belegt. Sie taucht plötzlich als viraler Post auf (mit einem dramatischen Schwarz-Weiß-Bild eines Oktopus in einem Rohr), wird aber nirgends von seriösen Quellen wie Aquarien, Forschungseinrichtungen oder Nachrichtenmedien bestätigt.

Warum es unglaubwürdig ist:

Keine konkreten Details:

Kein Name eines realen Marine Research Centers (manchmal wird Monterey Bay erwähnt, aber dort gibt es keine solche dokumentierte Anekdote), kein Datum, keine Studie, kein Biologe, der das bestätigt.

Zu perfekt erzählt:

Die wöchentliche Routine (immer montags), das ,,Selbstlernen von Plumbing" und das schnelle Zerlegen des Puzzle-Spiels klingen wie eine nette Fabel für Social Media.

Typisches Muster:

Solche Tier-Geschichten (intelligenter Oktopus rettet den Tag) gehen regelmäßig viral, weil Oktopusse tatsächlich extrem schlau sind – aber genau deswegen werden sie oft ausgeschmückt oder frei erfunden.


Reale Oktopus-Intelligenz

Oktopusse sind beeindruckend clever:

Sie öffnen Schraubgläser, lösen Rätsel, entkommen aus Aquarien und haben sogar schon Lampen kurzgeschlossen oder Ventile manipuliert.

Es gibt echte Fälle, z. B. Otto im Sea Star Aquarium (der Wasser auf Lampen spritzte, um Strom auszulösen) oder Oktopusse, die aus Tanks ausbrachen und Krabben aus Nachbarbecken klauten.

facebook.com

Aber die Hendrix-Story mit dem regelmäßigen ,,Plumbing-Service" ist eine erfundene Anekdote. Typischer MrPitbull07-Content: herzerwärmend, aber faktenfrei.

Falls du mal echte coole Oktopus-Videos oder Studien willst – sag Bescheid. Die Tiere brauchen keine erfundenen Heldentaten, sie sind auch so faszinierend genug.

Utah Law Holds Websites Liable for VPN-Bypassed Adult Content

Senate Bill 73 requires sites with substantial harmful-to-minors content to verify ages for Utah users, regardless of VPNs or proxies, using ID scans or third-party services that delete data afterward. Lawmakers aimed to close loopholes in protecting kids, with fines up to $2,500 per violation enforced by the state. Privacy groups like the EFF warn it could lead to widespread age gates or VPN blocks, hurting journalists, activists, and others who rely on anonymity.

Morgan J. Freeman @mjfree

NOBODY IS TELLING YOU HOW FUCKED THE FARMERS ARE IN AMERICA RIGHT NOW.

The Agriculture Secretary just confirmed it publicly.

1 in 4 American farmers has NO fertilizer secured for spring planting.

No fertilizer. No crops. No food.

Farm bankruptcies are up 46% in 2025.

160,000 farms closed since 2017.

Less than half of all farmers will even turn a profit this year.

They're not struggling. They're being wiped out.

And the media is busy covering everything else.

The real story behind this hasn't been told yet.. follow me because i'm about to tell it 🚨

'Putin Is Losing, and Everybody Around Him Knows It'


This is news of today. But, believe it or not, 51 years ago we already were at the brink.

51 years ago, in 1975, I took part in a little event for students active in politics, lasting several days, in Bonn, organized by the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung.

One of the ideas presented there: that the eastern block would go down because of its financial inabilities.

51 years!

Half a century.

And the Russian mass murderers are still slaying people.

And China and North Korea are stronger than ever, overtaking Russia by far.

Half a century later the murderers still go on.

Half a century later we still are told about their weak finance.

Half a century later and THE REAL MOLOCH - that is China - is terrorizing the whole planet, emptying the oceans, and, as the largest production site, also is the largest energy waster:

🚨The world's 5 largest energy consumers

1 number changes how you read everything else on this chart


🇨🇳 China:  48,400 TWh
🇺🇸 US:    25,800 TWh
🇮🇳 India:  11,200 TWh
🇷🇺 Russia:  9,000 TWh
🇯🇵 Japan:  4,800 TWh

China consumes nearly twice as much energy as the United States.

But the mix is what tells the real story.

China's coal consumption alone is visually larger than the entire US energy stack combined.

The US is running on gas and oil, with nuclear and renewables as meaningful contributors.

China is running on coal, with everything else added on top.

India, the 3rd largest consumer and the fastest growing major economy, is also coal-dominant  with gas playing a minimal role compared to its peers.

Russia's profile is the inverse: gas-heavy, oil-significant, almost no coal at scale.

That's a direct reflection of geography Yamal and Western Siberia make gas the default fuel for everything from heating to industry.

Any global energy transition runs through coal in China and India first.

Until those bars change shape, the conversation about net zero is largely theoretical.

Here's the number that changes everything:


🇨🇳 China: 48,400 TWh — 1.4  B people  — 34,600 kWh/person
🇺🇸 US:    25,800 TWh —  335 M people  — 77,000 kWh/person
🇮🇳 India: 11,200 TWh — 1.4  B  people —  8,000 kWh/person
🇷🇺 Russia: 9,000 TWh —  144 M people  — 62,500 kWh/person
🇯🇵 Japan:  4,800 TWh —  125 M people  — 38,400 kWh/person

China burns twice the energy of the US.
With 4x the population.

Per person, America still consumes 2.2x more than China.

India runs a civilization of 1.4 billion people on 8,000 kWh per capita.

That's not an energy story.
That's a development gap story.

Happy Mother's Day to every mom and mother figure reading this—and a special thank you to my wife who is an incredible mother, my mom, and the mother figures in my life.

I've been investigating Trump and Putin for more than a decade. The week after the 2016 election, I was on Capitol Hill hand-delivering my report on Trump's Russian business ties to anyone who would take it. If I couldn't get a meeting—I waited outside their offices and refused to leave until someone took a copy of the report.

Members of Congress learned that week that Trump had done tens of millions of dollars in business with Russians over the decades. I delivered it to the Obama White House too.
For years, I was threatened over that work—there was even a stretch where I had to go into hiding. The Russian Embassy targeted me on social media the year after that. They don't come after you that hard when you're wrong.

A decade later, and Putin's inner circle is fracturing. His own pollsters are hiding the numbers. And Ukraine is taking ground for the first time in two years.

Hit the ❤️ like button and re-stack this edition right now. Putin's Victory Day parade was stripped of every tank, every missile, every piece of military hardware for the first time since 2007. That is not a parade—that's a confession. Spread the word.

If you're not yet a paid subscriber, this edition should make the case. No advertisers. No corporate backers. No billionaire deciding what we publish or which Russians not to name. This investigation exists only because readers like you fund it.

Help us keep digging at the Kremlin, the Trump regime, and corporate media that still refuses to say "Putin is losing" out loud. Join us as a paid subscriber today:

PUTIN'S CIRCLE TURNS

Ilya Remeslo spent nearly a decade doing some of the Kremlin's dirtiest work—including helping send opposition leader Alexei Navalny to a remote Arctic prison where he was killed. In March, Remeslo posted publicly that Putin should resign and face justice as "a war criminal and a thief."

Within days, Russian authorities had him committed to a psychiatric hospital—then released him a month later. Remeslo said what finally broke him was watching Putin disappear into a bunker during a 2023 mutiny inside Russia, and leave everyone else to manage the crisis. "I understood that this is not the president I voted for," he said.

In his first international interview this week, he vowed to keep fighting: "They snicker at Putin and say he is very primitive and that he is doing everything to lead the country into an abyss."

He's not alone. On April 22nd, Deputy Minister Denis Butsayev was dismissed and fled to the United States. It's the first known case of a sitting deputy-minister level official to defect from Russia.

Mikhail Khodorkovsky—once Russia's richest man—is now a leading opposition voice in London after Putin imprisoned him for a decade. He laid out the power struggle plainly: "The presidential administration is trying to somehow let Putin know the lid could blow off the can."

"Putin will be toppled at some moment by his own circle when he stops being convenient for them," Remeslo said.

THE NUMBERS THEY ARE HIDING

Elvira Nabiullina is the head of Russia's Central Bank—the person Putin put in charge of the country's money. This week she admitted: "Never before in the history of modern Russia have we experienced such a labor shortage. We've never had anything like this." Russia's economy shrank in the first two months of 2026—the first contraction in three years.

Independent polling shows that when Russians are asked which politicians they actually trust—without giving a list—only 29.5% name Putin. That's down from nearly 49% two years ago. His official approval rating sits at 65.5%—the lowest since before the invasion of Ukraine. In a country where you can get arrested for merely criticizing Putin, that number measures fear as much as support.

The Kremlin's own polling agency, which releases Putin's numbers every Friday like clockwork, went silent. No data on May 1st or the next business day. Meduza, Russia's leading independent news outlet, reported that journalists close to the Kremlin were told to simply stop reporting Putin's approval numbers altogether.

When you can't publish your own government's poll numbers, you're losing.

UKRAINE TAKES BACK GROUND

Ukrainian flags are going back up over villages that Russian forces have held for years, as families who initially fled are finally able to return home. In April, for the first time since August 2024, Russia lost more ground than it gained. The pace of Russia's advance has collapsed as well, declining every month since November.

Meanwhile, Ukraine is hitting Russia hard—deep strikes into Russian territory doubled in April compared to March, and quadrupled compared to February. British and French cruise missiles destroyed one of Russia's largest military microelectronics factories. And a major oil refinery near St. Petersburg burned.

Putin's army is no longer winning the war he was certain he could finish in three days.

A PARADE WITHOUT TANKS

Russia is running out of missiles. Last month, a Russian air defense commander posted a desperate plea on Telegram—his unit could see Ukrainian drones overhead. They had the equipment to shoot them down. But they had nothing left to fire.

That meant Putin couldn't defend his Victory Day parade from drones. So in late April, Putin and Trump spoke. Putin floated a ceasefire to protect his parade. Weeks later, Trump announced it publicly and bragged he had "suggested a little bit of a ceasefire."

But Trump didn't make the deal. Zelensky did. Zelensky said yes to a ceasefire—on one condition: a prisoner swap. Russia would free 1,000 Ukrainian prisoners of war. Ukraine would free 1,000 Russian ones. Russia agreed. "Red Square is less important to us than the lives of Ukrainian prisoners who can be brought home," Zelensky said.

Yesterday's parade was the smallest in nearly two decades. No tanks. No missiles. No military hardware at all. North Korean troops marched through Red Square for the first time—the only foreign troops Putin could find to fill the parade.

Last year, Putin stood with Xi Jinping, Brazil's Lula, and dozens of other world leaders as nuclear missiles rolled through Red Square. This year, only a few foreign leaders showed up. Dozens of Russian cities canceled Victory Day altogether.

Putin is not winning. He is calling America for help. And the elites who hitched themselves to Trump are about to discover—if Putin falls, Trump will too.
