Today, we’ll look into the problems around the sports betting industry and see if this new form of entertainment and gambling is as safe as it claims.

Welcome to Multi Level Mondays, a weekly series all about multi level marketing, pyramid schemes, and ponzi schemes.
Lemongrass claims to be different, unique: they’re a clean, sustainable makeup line with an opportunity for women to make money. But we’ve heard these claims from MLMs before—many times. Typically, they’re too good to be true; Lemongrass may have ‘clean’ products, but are their tactics dirty?

It’s common knowledge at this point: makeup contains toxic chemicals. But how harmful are they really? Can the levels of harm do lasting, permanent damage, or are our beauty products as damaging as anything else we eat and consume? How do we know what to avoid and where to go from here?

Wake Up Now seemed to sell everything, from energy drinks to finance aid. As an MLM, it may not be a surprise to learn that they were accused of being a pyramid scheme. However, the company itself has blamed their CEO for their failure—and their shut down.

When natural disasters strike, charitable people leap into action, giving what they can to those in need. But how do you know you’re giving to the right people? Not only are there scammers using natural disasters like Katrina and Hawaii’s wildfires as a cash cow, but there are those that effectively monetize tragedy to line their pockets.

Plastic surgery for animals can be necessary; some dogs have been bred to genuinely need them. But what about cosmetic surgery? Is this ever appropriate? Why would a responsible pet owner put their animal at risk merely for looks?

DealDash is the epitome of ‘if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.’ We all know that you can’t really get iPads and brand-new TVs for pennies, but then how is DealDash still around? And how do they make money?

Burgerim was supposed to be the latest, greatest, and healthiest in fast food chains. Unfortunately, not only did it fall short of expectations, but the franchisees that were eager for a new opportunity found themselves broke and in debt. Burgerim wasn't just difficult to operate, but destined to fail.

Persuasion is a powerful tool; it monetizes our beliefs and effectively sells them to the highest bidder. But how does persuasion and brainwashing work across different industries? How is a cult different than politics or religion? How do the leaders in these fields persuade us to trust them?

Half of Americans, year on year, die in hospice care. When done right, this can be a way for patients to spend time with their loved ones and say goodbye on their own terms. When done wrong, this has become little more than end of life abuse. Whether you believe it’s a for-profit hustle or not, there’s no doubt that hospice as a system is broken. Is it too late to fix it?

When you hear the term ‘redneck’, you probably think of a patriotic southerner. Maybe even a MAGA follower. But redneck used to mean something very different. In fact, you could even argue that it used to mean the complete opposite of what it means today.

Welcome to Multi Level Mondays, a weekly series all about multi level marketing, pyramid schemes, and ponzi schemes.
You’ve definitely heard it before: those flowery ‘you can do it’ sentiments from MLMs that encourage distributors to keep trying. They may be hollow and meaningless, but people believe in them all too often. But why? As it turns out, those motivational tapes, books, and speakers are part of the scam itself. They keep MLMs alive more than you might realize.

Sears was once one of the biggest names in retail, but they started to flounder until—a few years ago—they’re all but dead. What happened to them? Is this the result of all retail succumbing to online shopping, or is it deeper than that? In this story, the killer’s in the house.

Vlad Dracula is seen as one of the most evil, sadistic men ever to walk the earth. If you think about it, he was only a teenager when he started his reign, which later consisted of putting people on pikes. But is he really the most evil man? Or has that been exaggerated as history wears on?

Gamestop was an icon in the 90s, it was seen as the place to shop for the latest and greatest consoles and games. But what keeps them around today? It certainly doesn’t seem to be good business practices if you look at their history of trade-ins and overpriced bundles. Are they worth keeping alive?
