I was nearly bamboozled by their successor Quixtar while in university. Luckily I was able to smell the scam when I went to one of their sessions. Very vague and very pushy about us buying into a scheme before we could learn how it worked.

Glad you were able to dodge that one. They've ruined a lot of lives and families in the Midwest, where, incredibly, they still are treated as a legitimate business.

My understanding is that, as a multi-level marketing scheme, they are doing enough to be considered a legal entity as opposed to a pyramid scheme (which is what they are).
