I think this is the MLM Quote of the year. It shows how far legitimate Multilevel Marketing has come. Think about this, you have an enforcement official of the SEC stating that an alleged scam was trying to give the appearance of multilevel marketing for legitimacy.
It shows that the SEC probably has a better idea about what a pyramid truly is than your brother-in-law.
"those were
attempts to cloak what is a fraudulent pyramid scheme, giving it the
appearance of multilevel marketing,"
– Stephen Donahue, an SEC enforcement official in Atlanta
