Multi-Level Marketing Schemes and the Gifting Tables

Becca starts off the episode with a background on a particular type of business that often promotes nutrition products: Multi-level Marketing. Follow along to hear all about what they are, how to spot a pyramid scheme, and why you should steer clear. Sarah then discusses a fascinating case of a dinner-party-themed MLM that was recently featured on HBO’s Murder on Middle Beach. The Gifting Tables used trusted relationships to prey on women and left thousands of women at a serious financial loss. And the final course? A possible murder. Sarah also leaves you with a bonus story about pine nuts that will have you scratching your head. For all links and references visit our website.This is an independently produced podcast and your support means a lot to us.
