What Quixtar IBOs Need To Know About The IBOAI: Kingpin Distributors Looking Out For Their Own Greed Inspired Best Interests!


In past posts on this blog I have described Quixtar/Amway Global as being made up of three distinct groups of people. First, the company; second the kingpin distributors; and third everyone else (meaning you: the rank and file IBOs). The IBOAI is basically made up of successful :”top of the pyramid” kingpin distributors. They sit on a board which is elected by Emerald and above pin level IBOs to supposedly represent Independent Business Owners everywhere. These people love to describe themselves as IBOs but are actually made up of tool kingpins and for which an IBO commentator on this blog, Tex, has described as “Lying, Cowardly, Kingpins.” These wealthy distributors make up part of the group of distributors earning the lion's share of commissions generated in the Quixtar/Amway product based pyramid scheme. These self righteous distributors of the “tools for fools” rake in millions of dollars in profits promoting Quixtar propaganda to keep the later group buying the unremarkable, overpriced products, and most importantly, buying the training materials and function tickets. Many times it is their wealth, pictured as giant mansions, which inspire the newly recruited distributors to “pay the cost to be the boss.” The cost they pay is many times very high, making tool scamming and product based pyramid scheming very lucrative for them and the company. These distributors distribute more than tools and products. They serve their own greedy self interests while attempting to make the little fellow IBO believe that his/her interests are being protected.

A fellow blogger and former IBO, Amthrax, has recently described a situation on his blog involving one of these IBOAI kingpins, Greg Duncan, and the hypocrisy of the IBOAI to claim that Greg's “All In” energy drink does not compete with IBOs attempting to market XS, Quixtar's offering. Even industry "pundit of deceit" “Insider” IBOFightback sees through the hypocrisy and insane logic of this situation and the spin the IBOAI has put on the issue by their recent blog post titled “Rumor About Greg Duncan and All In Energy Drink”. The IBOAI blog defends beverage baron, Duncan, who is heavily invested in XS and claims that his interests in All In Energy do not violate any of the non-compete agreements every IBO signs with Quixtar as if these two products are not in competition with one another? Greg invests profits from XS sales into producing All In Energy Drink, and he and the IBOAI self righteously claim these products do not compete against one another? Actually these products do not compete against one another because of the self consumption model AmQuix operates, but of course this is something they will not openly admit.

Amway claims to market XS drinks to retail customers, but only a small percentage of these XS drinks ever reach a non-distributor customer. Retail sales to non-distributors are dismally small by percentage of total sales having been described recently as being 4.3%. That means IBOs buy the XS drinks almost exclusively making XS a monopoly product which does not in reality compete against the likes of Red Bull or All In or any of the other products picture above. The IBOAI must believe that “real world” customers are fair game for this “non-competing” product All In Energy Drink while not actually admitting the circumstances I am describing now.

Something really stinks in the “Land of Will!” These greedy kingpin distributors want to eat their cake and have it too! These weasels have painted themselves into a corner where there is no rat hole for them to escape. They believe they can make down line dupes believe their spin regardless how obvious their treachery is. The truth is, these folks many times take their Quixtar – Amway Global Profits and in the spirit of free enterprise invest them in other products and services. Do any of these investments violate the non-compete agreements they have made with Alticor? If the hype Quixtar makes about their independent business owners retailing their product to real world customers is to be believed, then yes, these All In Energy drinks do compete against XS! Quixtar has painted themselves into a corner also. They should enforce non-compete agreements with kingpin distributors which market similar products to retail customers which they claim to have (but in reality do not). Quixtar makes a big deal about retailing product in hopes to avoid product pyramid scheme allegations while they at the same time enjoy the proceeds from their pyramid!

The IBOAI portray themselves as promoting the interests of all IBOs while they really are protecting their own self interests. This is an obvious conflict of interest where the rank and file IBO distributor dupes are victimized as marks in a tool scam con job and are expected to believe all the lies these same kingpins use to justify their own greed. Isn't the entire system built exclusively around greed? The greed inspired IBOs believe in the wealth these greedy folk hold out as being possible. The company maintains their Jay Factor product pricing system out of greed which is obviously reflected in the outrageous prices duped dreamers are required to pay to play in the game. The IBOAI brag that the XS drink price (which is outrageously high to begin with) has not been raised for many years and claim that the All In Energy sales help make this pricing situation possible. More stupidity from folk who have been hoodwinking down line IBOs forever!

While The Sheep Are Being Fleeced, What About The Little Lambs? They Want Their Parents Back! Heartbreak In The Land Of Will!


I have discovered a web site that describes the teachings and deceptions of the "World Wide Dream Builders". You may view and read this site by clicking here. I am going to discuss a few of these teachings in today's post. I believe that World Wide Dream Builders oversee a pernicious business cult and their teachings provide the evidence. A pernicious cult is one that does harm. I care about the victims, who many times are carried along by the cult and have no real choice in the matter.

It is the children of cults who suffer. There has been a lot of national press attention being focused on the children of the Polygamist Sect cults. Polygamist cults tend to cut the male children apart and force them to leave the community. Intermarriage amongst the few husbands and the many child-wives may border on incest. Children suffer in polygamist cults, but they also suffer from neglect in the "business cult" of Quixtar/Amway Global and their motivational organizations.

In the article about the teachings of World Wide Dream Builders, parents of the cult are told to shuffle their children off into the hands of babysitters. Meetings and events are just too important to be missed. Children are not welcome at Quixtar meetings. For a organization which claims to be family friendly, this friendship really does not extend to the children of distributor parents.

Parent IBOs are told that children will be able to walk the world's beaches with them someday, but at present must be left alone with sitters. Parents spend most of their daylight hours working a JOB and then spend most of their evening hours showing the plan and working the biz. Children of Quixtar parents may come to feel like orphans in their own home! Children may come to view their care givers as the only real parental figures in their lives. I find this very sad. I've discussed so many other reasons for people to shun this business (to include the money extraction and social stigma issues), but it is this one issue, the children, that must be considered the number one reason to counter the cult. They do not have a voice in the matter.

Eric Scheibler, in his book "Merchant's of Deception", described his tremendous regret of missing out on his children's lives during their formative years. I am sure that there are any number of other former Amway parents who feel exactly the same way. In the quest for the pot of gold at the end of the AmQuix rainbow, the children should not have to suffer and be shuffled off onto others for their daily care. The WWDB teach new distributors to line up as many as twenty-five babysitters because the parent's AmQuix work is more important than time spent with the children.

Children are used in the recruitment spiel. The "dream" sellers describe children as a primary reason for joining. Amway has promoted a book called "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" which contains what many consider age old cliches about money and success. The name of the book calls into question issues involving dreams of success as they relate to ones own children. Parents are convinced to get into the Biz believing they are doing something great for their children's future. I must call this reasoning into question.

Parents that spend nearly half their day away from home working a real world JOB, and then must spend the second half working the AmQuix plan only have time left for sleep. Children are shuffled off to babysitters or placed into the care of relatives, grandparents, aunts and uncles who basically become a support system for the "business cult". Grandparents should not have to raise the grandchildren. That job is really for the parents. Strangers should not be clung to by children who really come to know them better than their own mother and father.

AmQuix teaches that money is more important than anything else--including ones own children. The plan must be shown, and meetings must be attended--even if time spent with children is forsaken. Quixtar has a promotional video which says "I live in the Land of Will". This video paints a very rosy picture of the AmQuix dream that includes time for children. Parents are shown with school age children and one might be lead to believe by this propaganda that working the Biz will allow more time to be spent with the children. This is an obvious deceit! Working a day job might keep a parent away from the children during the day, but working Quixtar keeps a parent away at night as well. The more enthusiasm for the Biz, the less quality time to spend with the children. Since couples are encouraged to work together, the children not only loose time spent with Dad, but also with Mom. Time with the children might be on an "appointment only" basis.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. IBO, have you passed your responsibilities onto other family members and babysitters? Do your children qualify as AmQuix orphans? I am very dismayed by parents who care more about working a MLM biz than they care about working their own family biz. World Wide Dream Builders and Quixtar/Amway are doing way more harm than just taking your money, they are taking away something more precious: time spent raising your own children. Quixtar Cult Intervention is the Real Opportunity Zone. Your opportunity to free yourself from the cult. You and you alone can only provide what your children need and that is you and your time!
