A pyramid scheme that they make legal by supposedly selling people actual product.

I love Fleury 'the player' so much.

It saddens me to see what he has become.

Only for the people he screws over for joining his pyramid scheme. Or maybe it's sad that he doesn't even realize what MLM is.

Any fun Facebook quotes from Theo you can share with us?

Just add him as a friend. I get the Genie sales posts daily.

Thinking of deleting him because of it but he's my all time fave Flame and I'm torn.

My advice is to make your entire life as superficial as possible....that way it doesn't really matter how much people know about you.

The reality is that people will gossip, and pseudo-celebrity will do it every time. We used to make a big fuss whenever a certain customer paid his insurance bill. His claim to fame? His last name is Meatface (seriously).

It's funny you talk about lamps, on the website for the MyNet Universe software Fleury is talking about, it's affiliate company is 'MyShoppingGenie' LOL

http://www.myshoppinggenie.com/contactmynet.asp

This software just looks horrible. There are reports from Ireland that this is a scam as well. I am bored and decided to actually check it out at Fleury's request.

In a roundabout way... you kinda did just say I am involved in a pyramid scheme, by having a job.

And secondly Theo, there is a difference. Even though the guy above me gets paid more, I still get paid to do my job. And I certainly do not pay my bosses salary.

It seems he gets quite defensive about this on twitter, I simply asked if he was retweeting spam and I got a reply:

@jaydorn
@TheoFleury14 did you just retweet spam?

@TheoFleury14
@jaydorn non of your business what I do on my own page thanks
There's a whole string of him calling others morons and losers etc etc. Pretty sad.

I was invited by a friend to go to one of his presentations (she didn't know what it was), and I already new it would be an MLM thing because of this thread. For a guy who now does public speaking for a living, he didn't seem very informed of his own product. The speeches that were given (not just by him) were all talk about teamwork and creating an environment of respect and teambuilding. Not necessarily bad things, but they were very vaugue about how it actually works and seemed to confuse a few people into joining. I suppose thats the stratagy though. The product itself is an interesting idea, although I dont think it's entirely original. But the business structure, obviously, is doomed to collapse just like any MLM. And will end up taking advantage of a large amount of desperate people, including theo himself as this is NOT his creation, he's just like anyone else who would get involved in these things.

Long story short, definitely a scam.
