"The defendants’ dramatic
markup on their worthless product, coupled with their downline
marketing strategy, indicate they were organizing an elaborate,
illegal, and unsustainable pyramid scheme."
BioPerformance ordered to return more than $7 million to victims of pyramid scheme
AUSTIN – Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott today stopped a
Dallas-based pyramid scheme from illegally marketing the so-called "top
secret gas pill" that it falsely claimed would increase fuel efficiency
in automobiles. The Attorney General’s settlement with BioPerformance
and its owners, Lowell Mims and Gustavo Romero, prevents the defendants
from continuing to deceptively market their products and ends the
State’s eight-month legal action against the company.
