Not exactly sure.
"in as little as 3 months you could have 4 consultants working underneath you"
If you sign up 5 people you will get 60% of the cut, and if each of them sign up 5 people you will get 60% of their sales, and if they sign up 5 you get 60% of their sales. You could be making 300% of the sales price if you get a big enough network.

I actually know a girl who got into a deal like this for a women's cosmetic product and she is absolutely KILLING it. Granted those success stories rarely happen but she had the right network of people and resources to set it up perfectly. Last I knew she had close to 100 other girls selling for her...

Being on the top part of the pyramid is the key. Know a guy who got hooked into this one company selling crap. Lost most of us as friends since he tried to push us to sell for him. He spent like 5-10k on an initial purchase so he could get this big discount. He was just out of college, bought a house and had roommates in school living with him to pay rent. They got mad because the living room was full of this stuff and they couldn’t use it. Not sure if he ever got his money back or not.

Testifying
I did listen to Luka this morning on the radio, and I'm sure he's a great kid, but I just hope he's not trusting his Dad for every piece of advice and is getting a couple of more opinions.

Had a brother in law that bought into the 1990 water filtration scheme and invested $10,000+ of inherited money from his wifes grandmother. It was a under the sink system that attached to the homes water line. The scheme was to sign up others to sell under him, and then continue to make sales with new filters each month. His bedroom was filled with the units and I think I helped him move them two times. Finally ended up in a dumpster.

Had another brother in law that first was in the phone card pyramid scheme....and then he fell for the biggest ponzi scheme - he worked for northwestern mutual life insurance. These life insurance companies feed on young college grads by hiring them on a probation period, sign up all their relatives with life insurance products, and then the new hire realizes he is starving to death so he leaves the business, but the company keeps the policies.

Luka deserves anything good that comes to him. He put in the work. His dad can suck a fat one.

Hope your wife inherited the brains in the family!

Wouldn't Luka have earned at least a million bucks this past year in the NBA?

If I had made that, I'd sign autographs for kids for free..... but I guess daddy doesn't want him to do that probably.

Not likely. He was on a two way, which pays a minimum $500,000

I bet Luka goes bankrupt at the hands of his dad once Iowa fans stop giving a crap about him in 5 years

I hope you're wrong about that but I think your right. I'm pretty sure Frank would steal the gold fillings out of someone's teeth if he could. I don't think he'll have any problem screwing his own kid over.

To be fair signing an autograph for a kid is great. Unfortunately quite a few of the pictures or cards that athletes sign end up in a little display that someone paid 20 bucks to put together and since it has the athlete's autograph on it they are selling it for $150.

Multi-level marketing,.... or, as it is known in Utah, Mormons losing money.
