Amway made an official comment on the UK Sanctions at the Amway Media Blog today.

Here is a clip from the post:

So: Is it so?

Yes.

By this post, we are confirming the veracity of the e-mail from
Amway UK branch manager Ben Woodward, which was sent to IBOs in the UK
last Friday and has since been widely circulated online. The text is
below.

So: What else do we have to say for ourselves?

For now, we will let Ben’s message stand for itself. We are aware
that there is intense speculation out there, and we do intend to
address it in the near future.

But we will say this right now: All of us at Amway are 100 percent
committed to the UK market, and to the IBOs there who are working hard
to build their businesses the right way. Our only goal, ever, is to
build a stronger business for IBOs and the customers who buy our
products. What we are doing in the UK is an important step along that
path.

Here is a link to the Amway UK Sanctions letter mentioned above.
