From OzSoapBox:

Yes it’s official.

Yesterday afternoon Rod gave us the exciting news that the NSW office of fair trading had classified Liberty League as a pyramid scheme. Eager to confirm the news myself I sent them an email last night and decided to follow it up with a phone call this morning.

I just got off the phone to the NSW office of fair trading and can now confirm that Liberty League has been found to be a pyramid trading scheme and is illegal to participate in or promote in the Australian state of New South Wales.

The following is a direct quote verbatim read out to me by the NSW office of fair trading.

Fair trading has legal advice confirming that the scheme (Liberty League) is a pyramid sales scheme within the meaning of the act. Participants and promoters who are involved in the scheme not only risk losing their money but are also at risk of being prosecuted.


The office of fair trading conducted their own research into the company back in May, 2009. A copy of their written findings is being sent to me via mail and will be posted on OzSoapbox once received. The above information is a direct excerpt from the findings that was communicated to me verbally.

The ‘act’ the above excerpt cites is the Fair Trading Act (1987). In conducting their own investigation into Liberty League, the NSW office of fair trading found that Liberty League was indeed a pyramid scheme because it met the definition of one under current Australian law.
