MLM and The Pyramid

Now I understand what is the difference between a legitimate MLM and a con-job that is The Pyramid. The former makes profit from selling genuine products while the latter makes money (& scam) from recruitment. So the difference, the one that truly differentiate an honest business from a Scam is the source of profit. See, I am a genius (this, after years of pretending that I know what it is all about when people talk about MLM / Pyramid marketing).

But...do bear in mind that some "pyramiders" (OK, this term is my own invention) do try to cloak their heinous criminal intent by selling useless product when what REALLY happened is that they still earn through recruitment (pocket the fees from these suckers who joined under them, sometimes even give them fancy-shmancy titles to boot).

Worst is when the Pyramid collapse, everything else collapses too: relationships, family, even life as one knows it.

Anyone want to sell me bottles of oxygenated water? :)
