had carried a detailed story titled "Is multi-level marketing (MLM) like Amway illegal?" more than seven years ago. Please also see
That day, a friend of mine called up and in all his humility ‘advised' me to withdraw the piece saying that legality should not be decided by DDT as long as people like him have improved their lifestyles by becoming an Amway Business Owner. He hastened to add that he has now achieved the ‘Emerald' level of recognition and would soon be moving higher. When asked what all this meant, he said that since I do not understand the philosophy of ‘multi-level marketing' and am not interested in GROWTH, I should not spoil the chances of others making money!
I need to call my friend now to enquire about his GROWTH.
