Conclusion
Jef Welch undoubtedly has plenty of baggage. That mentioned, what went down with Magellan Worldwide is between Welch, his victims and any regulators that appeared into it.
I’m not conscious of any regulatory investigation into Magellan Worldwide. By all appearances Welch received away with it and has proven no signal of regret.
The excellent news is Atteva isn’t a continuation of the fraud began with CGI Restricted. Moderately it’s a way more conventional MLM providing.
The principle concern I see with Atteva is that though retail gross sales are incentivized, they’re not required.
I can enroll as an Atteva affiliate, preserve a month-to-month order and receives a commission to recruit others who do the identical.
On this sense Atteva’s retail commissions and bonuses really feel tacked on, reasonably than what the compensation plan was constructed round.
I’ll say the five-level deep residual retail fee was above the same old single-level retail commissions we see.
On the flip aspect charging most popular prospects a $29 annual charge is a retail disincentive.
Most popular prospects join a reduction, they don’t should be slugged with a charge.
A easy option to refocus Atteva on retail gross sales can be requiring every affiliate to generate and preserve 80 PV in month-to-month retail quantity.
With respect to Atteva’s merchandise, nothing stood out to me. Curcumin dietary supplements are broadly obtainable, as are weight reduction drinks and hemp extracts.
Do your homework there and evaluate with what’s obtainable regionally and on-line.
In the event you’re contemplating signing up as an Atteva associates, it could be price checking along with your potential upline as to what number of energetic retail prospects they’ve.
That’s retail prospects inserting not less than one order every month.
In the event you can, weigh that in opposition to no matter they’re incomes and work out if the numbers add up.
Method with warning.
