I got an email about some turmoil in France. It seems that Nikken has gotten rid of some of the most successful French distributors. This small group of people have worked for years, and made around €500.000 a year in comission (that's around US$540.000).
The story goes like this: a Swiss distributor didn't follow the rules and got kicked out. He then restarted under a different name, something pointed out by other distributors. Nikken didn't seem to have a problem at all with it which of course upset the other distributors and it ended up with Nikken cancelling the long-time distributors, thereby defending the one who didn't follow the rules. Lawyers is on the case.
As I reported earlier there was a class action lawsuit in the US, but information about that has since been removed from the web. My attempts at contacting the law firm has gotten no replies. In both Norway and Sweden there has been cases of sucessful network marketing distributors being thrown out (allegedly because they did something wrong), and the lawsuit in Sweden was settled out of court (the outcome of the lawsuit in Norway is yet to be determined).
Is this the new marketing idea, to create a MLM company, let people do lots of work, and then throw them out if they get too good at it?

Hello,
Let me tell a fary tail like the one you described:
"HITLER was a saint, was kind to jewish and never attacked any one...
He was a GOD men."
Do you believed?
Why dont you tell the real story where those persons were selling phony things telling that were Nikken products and advertising with a book of "miracles" with lots of ilegal and crimonuous medical claims.
Tell me a story of Pol Pot or Pinochet, they were saints do you know?
