Conclusion

The advertising and marketing copy, full with yellow highlights, is prolonged by design. Anybody who makes it to the underside of Anderson’s rambling is simple hanging fruit.
The book library is a weak try at pseudo-compliance.
That is only a two tier fee construction so it isn’t thought-about a MLM program.
Due to this and the actual fact there’s a actual product, it may well by no means be thought-about an unlawful pyramid scheme.
