Reasons Why MLMs Are Worse Than Pyramid Schemes

• 📉 The average return for a victim of a pyramid scheme is around 90% of their invested capital, whereas the average return for an MLM is around 30% of their invested capital.
• 🚨 Even the people at the top of MLMs often struggle financially, with many losing money despite their high ranks.
• 🤑 MLMs make money by selling overpriced products and seminars, rather than through legitimate business practices.
• 📊 The financial figures seen on income disclosure statements are top-line revenue figures and do not account for additional expenses, which means even top members end up struggling financially.
• 👥 MLMs target isolated cultural groups, such as Mormons and migrant communities, who are less aware of the industry's reputation and more trusting of their own community.
