MaVie overturns WorldVentures’ Temporary Restraining Order
On June 4th WorldVentures filed a lawsuit against rival MLM companies Ariix and MaVie.
In their lawsuit, WorldVentures accused Ariix and MaVie of unfair competition. Based on evidence submitted at the time, WorldVentures’ secured an ex-parte Temporary Restraining Order against both companies.
On June 26th a hearing was held, to determine whether or not WorldVentures’ granted TRO should be converted into a preliminary injunction.
The hearing spanned June 26th and 27th, with an order published a few hours ago.
In response to the granted TRO, defendants MaVie, Advanced Wellness Solutions and Abdelwadoud Barakat filed an emergency motion seeking to dissolve it.
Based on evidence submitted by the above defendants, the June 28th order dissolves the TRO entered against MaVie, Ariix and Advanced Wellness Solutions.
The TRO currently in place, which expires on July 3rd, remains in place for the remaining defendants.
Not really sure where that leaves us.
The TRO in a nutshell prohibited use of WorldVentures’ confidential information and trade secrets, as well as the recruitment of WorldVentures affiliates into MaVie and/or Ariix.
MaVie and Ariix are now free to do as they please, however the TRO remains in place for the named defendant former employees, most of which are now MaVie affiliates.
And July 3rd is only a few days away, so does that mean a preliminary injunction will be entered against the remaining defendants before then?
If not and the TRO will expire, why not just dissolve it now for all the defendants?
Seems a bit silly to prohibit staff and affiliates from using information and/or poaching when the companies they work for / are in can do it.
If the defendants so choose to engage in behavior explicitly prohibited by the TRO, the lifting of it with respect to Ariix and MaVie gives them plenty of loopholes.
Stay tuned for further clarification as the July 3rd TRO expiration deadline draws nearer.
Haha well done Mavie whoever you are!! Made my day reading WV LOST the case!!!
They didn’t lose the case, just overturned the TRO – which also means a preliminary injunction isn’t going to happen.
WorldVentures’ lawsuit still proceeds to trial unless a settlement is reached.
I thought this website was supposed to be impartial?
Why does it say “Not sure where that leaves US”? Is someone from WV writing this? Seems very biased.
Anyway it’s no wonder people are choosing to leave WorldVentures and find alternative income, WV didn’t pay their Reps for months and months… You can’t have it both ways!!!
@Joanna
“Us” referring to those of us following the case.
You know where you can stick your conspiracy malarkey.
@Joanne Jakes
You mention that WV didn’t pay its reps for months? That is incorrect, I’ve been paid every month including everyone in my team.
Lucky if you are being paid. We are being owed monies by world ventures.
World ventures is not relating the correct information to its members.
@Joanne Jakes
Found out her facts!!! I did not get payed for 5 months!!! Still not payed for November and December 2017.
So is my mum, not payed for November and December 2017. And a hell lot of more people in Europe is not payed!!!
@ Reagan…You and your team must not be very high on the chain. I know a bunch of RMDs here who haven’t been paid since September of 2017.
RMDs…they were owed high 5 figure monthly checks. The total they are owed (as individuals) is in the high 6/low 7 figure range.
Since September they haven’t been paid commissions, residuals or dream car/house payments…THAT THEY ARE OWED FOR GETTING REPS INTO THIS SCAM.
Cars are being repossessed and homes foreclosed because WV is not paying their reps.
Go to Glassdoor to read what corporate employees are saying….open talk of bankruptcy. C level officers (at least 3 since January) leaving after seeing the real financials.
Flye hemorrhaging money. NO cash on hand. Nugent paying corporate payroll out of his own pocket. Monthly large layoffs of corporate employees. Vendors not being paid.
There is a review from a host who just left. Trips NOT being what members paid for. Numerous activities being cancelled. Vendors withholding services.
Expect the top level guys to take the money and run.
PS Knowing WV, they probably won’t be paying the law firm representing them in this case. It’s just the way WV rolls.
You might want to research the David Wood/Empower fiasco that occurred earlier this year,.
WV threw ALL their reps under the bus, when they managed to get all of David Woods Empower (which went out of business) information (names of their members/reps).
WV corporate then sent emails to all the ex-Empower people offering Platinum status for a sign up fee of $99 (plus the monthly).
Reps were required to continue selling the very same packages at the $399 sign up fee, basically cutting them off from any of the Empower people.
Worse, the ex-Empower people got lower member numbers than reps who had been in WV for 3 or 4 years, so people who just started are higher in the chain than people who had been in for years.
WV didn’t pay Wood for this information, but they did fire him shortly after getting the info.
WV also did not tell their reps about this and hid the email to Empower people from their reps.
Been a member with WV for 6 years, it has changed my life but I am HUGE with integrity.
When i didn’t get paid after 7 months i understand businesses go up and down i still kept building but something didn’t feel right. Then finding out certain people were selectively getting paid.
And then you see Johnny Wimbrey, Jaypayso, June and a few other IMDs post on social media that they are leaving WorldVentures but then change their mind because Wayne Nugent is giving them a percentage of the whole company so they would stay!!?
Lol this company is a joke now and is sinking like titanic.
But hey you don’t know what you don’t know… and if I didn’t make that much money with world ventures and didn’t know what was going on, HELL. I’d stay too like a clueless being. Lol.
@Josh
I appreciate the context of your comment as a whole, but I have to point out anyone who joins a pyramid scheme obviously isn’t “huge with integrity”.
The Norway regulation confirmed WorldVentures has insignificant retail activity occurring company-wide. This means the majority of commissions are paid out on recruitment, which I’m sure after six years you already knew.
Again, appreciate the non-payment issued (which I’m looking into separately), but let’s not pretend people who turn a blind-eye to pyramid recruitment for six years are all about integrity.
I respect this site…. but you can’t tell half truths. I read the court documents. All parties had to agree to dismiss because the federal court has no jurisdiction over foreigners business practices done abroad.
International law says in order to sue someone from abroad you must take the case to the place they call home. So they were not overturned from what I can tell….. more like withdrawn.
Uh, this report is based on the court filings.
Don’t know what you read (or didn’t understand when you read), but please don’t make up your own narrative.
WorldVentures’ granted TRO was overturned for several defendants. You can try to spin it but that’s what happened.
Hold up! Why would I do that…..I promise I never even thought of spin anything. I really respect what you are doing here…..unbiased research, I was being grateful.
It has really helped me follow what is going on in worldventures and the case. I am reading court documents too. But I do see the one I am reading is from 12/18. And it is talking about why they had to re-file based on jurisdiction.
Also WV agreed with ruling due to jurisdiction. I must admit though as I am reading these documents too….. I’m seeing you are not as unbiased as you seem. No worries though I still appreciate the info
Then that has nothing to do with this June 2018 article or filing.
Pro-tip: Try not to get caught up in every single filing. That’s why while I do keep tabs on the lawsuits we’re following, I only publish if something significant happens.
You’ll do your head in otherwise and get tripped up.
That one article you did about Brazil was a real eye opener….
I do have a question. How does a company like worldventures open up new markets? I wonder what is the paperwork process?
The case against Mavie looks like a “Koo.” Mr. Wayne was surrounded by snakes. All that international tormoil was created by the same people that ruined his name and made him lose so much money that he almost lost the company.
Everyone mentioned in the case was high ranking execs over his international business division not reps. That’s a koo if I ever saw one. But nonetheless the article about Brazil looks like Wv was wrong.
I would like to learn more about the process of opening a new country.
Thanks you are so right!!! Its like watching a conspiracy movie it’s 3am and I gotta work at 10am.
Lol I gotta stop reading this stuff you are right it will draw you in good night thanks again!
I brought my entire family into this club. I got married for free in the Bahamas because of this club….. so it’s important for me to know what happened truth.
I haven’t made enough money with the club for it to bother me financially but I have made enough memories and personal development that it would be sad to see the company fall…. such as life.
