I saw this over on the A MLM Skeptic blog, it is so fitting to email scams…..

Added to the docket file today is the government’s Sentencing memorandum related to Kenneth Wayne Leaming and his recent conviction on multiple felonies.  Here is the first part of the Memorandum:

UNITED STATES’ SENTENCING MEMORANDUM

The United States of America respectfully recommends the Court impose a total sentence of 120 months in custody, to be followed by three years of supervised release, structured as follows: 120 months (the statutory maximum) for the false lien counts; six months for the harboring count; and 60 months for the felon in possession count, all to run concurrently.

Overwhelming evidence during the trial shows that Defendant is a determined, persistent offender who will never stop retaliating against government officials for the exercise of their duly appointed duties. Defendant has no remorse for any of his actions, and fully intends to continue to pursue the same course of conduct – this is clear from the defense he presented at trial, and in his filings since trial.

Equally important, Defendant illegally possessed a small arsenal of dangerous firearms, including a “street sweeper” style shotgun and an assault rifle, together with badges and other police-style equipment. During trial, the Defendant repeatedly made thinly veiled threats to engage in violence if he was punished for his actions in filing the liens. Given his anti-government views, Defendant’s possession of firearms is troubling.

In short, the most important of the factors under 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) appears to be the need to protect the public from future crimes of the Defendant, and the government recommends that the Court sentence Defendant accordingly.

I have uploaded the complete document onto the Files website.

There is a recent addition to the Receivership website:

*** The Claims Frequently Asked Questions page has been updated on May 16, 2013 in order to address questions raised regarding the claim filing process.***

Death Sentence for Chinese Woman Convicted of $70 Million Ponzi Scheme

I thought his article to be one anyone thinking about entering the world of MLM should certainly read.  We all know that those individuals who recruit for their downlines in order to fill their own pockets are not always forthcoming with accurate or complete answers to questions they are asked regarding the “opportunity”.

We have all seen it…. manufactured testimonial, fake credentials and “awards”, and the “I GOT PAID” posts on social media, especially on Facebook. KS Chang has a new post regarding this nonsense scam artists post to sucker people into their schemes.

Here’s a link to the post:

Interesting article about the types of people who fall for the Reload Scam.  Here is a snippet:

Do you know the three types of people most vulnerable to scams? You should. They are:

• people who enjoy taking risks / gamblers
• people who were recently traumatized / grievers
• people who are doing not so well financially / debtors

Apparently, since I communicated by email to Kenneth Bell months ago, my name was added into the email list for Zeek.  So here is what some of you can expect to see, if you have not already received one:
