In this case a medical professional was involved and had more money to buy Amway products than the average IBO, therefore higher losses to deduct against a higher income. In Amway we're taught that everything is a tax deduction and to offset the Amway expenses against the income from our jobs and we'll receive a nice tax refund.

He was at one time a celebrity endorser for Amway in the early days. He was supposedly an emerald in Amway, as was Clint Eastwood. The idea behind these celebrity endorsers was to lend credibility to the scam. <br />You can count on me NOT being Amwayed ever again! :)Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06834961114998347041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-13153517728475603512014-04-25T17:08:22.857-07:002014-04-25T17:08:22.857-07:00Anna, have you seen AmwayUS' facebook ads?

So it's swindlers swindling swindlers. That's not bad, that's karma. <br /><br />As for the few lower-level grunts who got talked into cashing in their 401Ks to invest in a swindle, that is truly sad, but probably inevitable. They got taken all at once rather than one rally/tape/energy bar at a time. I hope they got at least some of their money back.<br /><br />-- AnonTBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
