SEC Recent Actions on Pyramid Schemes
In January 2013, the SECs enforcement unit opened an
investigation into Herbalife

On October 17, 2013, the SEC announced charges and seized the
assets of a worldwide pyramid scheme operating under business
names CKB and CKB168

The SEC has a long history of prosecuting pyramid schemes,
including the landmark 1973 action against Koscot, and has
prosecuted two pyramid schemes in the last 18 months

Investor Alert warning investors to beware
of pyramid schemes posing as multi-level
marketing programs

The SEC Investor Alert Identified Seven Hallmarks
of a Pyramid Scheme
Source: SEC Press Release and Investor Alert (Oct 17, 2013), available at https://www.sec.gov/investor/alerts/ia_pyramid.htm
Investor Alert: Beware of Pyramid Schemes
Posing as Multi-Level Marketing Programs
The SEC's Office of Investor Education and Advocacy is issuing this Investor Alert to warn
individual investors about pyramid schemes, a type of investment scam that fraudsters often pitch
as a legitimate business opportunity in the form of multi-level marketing programs.
4
Have you ever been tempted by an advertisement or offer to make "easy money" or "online
income" out of your own home? Multi-level marketing ("MLM") programs are promoted through
Internet advertising, company websites, social media, presentations, group meetings, conference
calls, and brochures. In an MLM program, you typically get paid for products or services that you
and the distributors in your "downline" (i.e., participants you recruit and their recruits) sell to others.
However, some MLM programs are actually pyramid schemes -- a type of fraud in which
participants profit almost exclusively through recruiting other people to participate in the program.
Hallmark #1: Emphasis on Recruiting
5
Emphasis on recruiting. If a program primarily focuses on recruiting
others to join the program for a fee, it is likely a pyramid scheme. Be
skeptical if you will receive more compensation for recruiting others
than for product sales.

people that want to make money and represent the
Herbalife products and Herbalife opportunity.
Susan Peterson Founders Circle Member, Herbalifes 2011 Extravaganza:
Promises of high returns in a short time period. Be leery of pitches for
exponential returns and get rich quick claims. High returns and fast
cash in an MLM program may suggest that commissions are being paid
out of money from new recruits rather than revenue generated by
product sales.

Hallmark #4: Buy-in Required
Herbalife requires a buy-in via an Herbalife Member Pack for $57.75 or $89.55 to receive
a discount and the option to run the business. To advance quickly and receive
commissions, distributors must also spend ~$3,000 - $4,000 purchasing inventory to qualify
as a Supervisor, in order to be eligible to earn recruiting rewards.
13
Buy-in required. The goal of an MLM program is to sell products. Be
careful if you are required to pay a buy-in to participate in the program,
even if the buy-in is a nominal one-time or recurring fee (e.g., $10 or
$10/month).

$46.20
34% decline













The FTC, SEC, the Courts, and even Herbalife itself have all
recently reaffirmed the critical role of retail sales to customers
outside the distribution network in distinguishing a legitimate MLM
from a pyramid scheme
22
Why Did the Market React So Negatively?











The FTC Reaffirms the Critical Role of Retail Sales
Multilevel Marketing

Not all multilevel marketing plans are legitimate. If the money you make
is based on your sales to the public, it may be a legitimate multilevel
marketing plan. If the money you make is based on the number of
people you recruit and your sales to them, its not. Its a pyramid
scheme. Pyramid schemes are illegal, and the vast majority of
participants lose money.

Although [Herbalife] contend[s] that distributors should be classified as
ultimate users, Omnitrition points out that [i]f Koscot is to have any teeth, [a
sale for a distributors personal use] cannot satisfy the requirement that sales
be to ultimate users of a product. Id. at 783. Therefore, downline
distributors are not ultimate users for purposes of the second element
of the Koscot test. (bold emphasis added)
25
Order Denying Herbalifes Motion to Dismiss (pg. 9)
In the class-action, Bostick v. Herbalife, Herbalife argued that distributors
should be classified as ultimate users. On October 11, 2013, Federal
District Court Judge OConnell denied Herbalifes motion to dismiss and
stated that distributors are not ultimate users.











. . . Regulations applicable to network marketing organizations
generally are directed at preventing fraudulent or deceptive schemes,
often referred to as pyramid or chain sales schemes, by ensuring
that product sales ultimately are made to consumers and that
advancement within an organization is based on sales of the
organizations products rather than investments in the organization or
other non-retail sales-related criteria.

retail sales to customers outside the program
January 10th, 2013 (22 Days Later), Michael Johnson Says:
It was a misstatement. 90% of our
distributors - ok - who are buying our
product - let me just try to clarify this - buy
it for one reason, and they buy it for self-

Herbalife responds to this simple question with misstatements and

To collect two years of Retail Order Forms from all of Herbalifes
distributors

To hire an independent big four accounting firm to verify and validate
the retail sales data

To submit the results of the data and analysis directly to the various
regulators (which would protect the privacy of Distributors)

Herbalife need only:

(1) Direct Distributors to cooperate and

(2) Inform them that their records will be submitted to the government,
which means the records must be authentic and truthful*

Herbalife Targets Vulnerable, Low-Income Minorities
[M]any Latino leaders [are] increasingly concerned with Herbalife's

community in a methodical and calculated manner

The scale of the scheme is breath-taking. There are 550,000
Herbalife distributors in the United States. Somewhere between 60 to 83
percent of them are Latino. 300,000 to 400,000 Latino distributors will quit
this year alone only to be replaced by another 300,000 to 400,000 new Latino
distributors. If left unchecked, Herbalife could recruit, defraud and dispose of
as many as 4 million Latino distributors over the next 10 years.
