Jeunesse @ BehindMLM

Despite generating over $400 million in sales last year, Jeunesse are looking to hit up taxpayers to help fund a new office. The location in question is Lake Mary in Florida, with city members recently approving an investment of $75,000 into Jeunesse’s new corporate headquarters.

Although it was more of a pitch for Jeunesse by Luke Hessler, a former top earner in Vemma, Alex Morton did speak for a good fifteen minutes in an attempt to clear the air. The platform of choice was a two-part Periscope video titled “The Truth Call” parts 1 and 2. Hessler waffled on for [Continue reading…]

With the FTC alleging Vemma is a $200 illegal pyramid scheme, a big question mark now hangs over the credibility of their top income-earners. To what extent are they complicit in the fraud carried out? How much are they responsible? How much did they earn and should they be made to return the funds they [Continue reading…]

Although not formally reviewed on BehindMLM, it’s no secret that much of the criticism directed at Vemma stems from their affiliate recruitment business model. Without going into specifics, the gist of it is you sign up as a Vemma affiliate with a monthly autoship and then recruit others who do the same. Retail sales in [Continue reading…]

Just shy of a week ago, Alex Morton announced he was leaving Vemma. Morton’s departure has raised eyebrows, mostly due to previous statements made by Morton on the topic of company loyalty. As per one such sentiment Morton (right with Vemma CEO, BK Boreyko) made a few months ago; When times got tough last year and [Continue reading…]

The controversy surrounding Jeunesse’s acquisition of Monavie continues, with recent promotional efforts suggesting Juenesse is selling affiliate ranks to Monavie distributors. Our source for today’s story is Calvin Becerra, who credits himself as a “Monavie Presidential Black Diamond and Mynt Founder” on his website. In a video uploaded to YouTube on May 30th, Becerra mentions a [Continue reading…]

Following the unveiling of what appeared to be an incredibly suspicious plan to drive Monavie into foreclosure, a Judge in Utah has now put the plans on hold. We first reported about the foreclosure plans earlier this week, which were announced after Jeunesse purchased Monavie’s debt earlier this year and strongly suggested the move would see [Continue reading…]

Monavie as it stands is but a shell of its former itself. Mid 2014 saw founders Dallin Larsen, Randy Larsen and Henry Marsh abandon ship, leaving Mauricio Bellora remaining in charge as CEO. Buying up debt owed to TSG-MV Financing, Jeunesse pretty much purchased Monavie back in March. Last Wednesday, not even two months later, it was announced that [Continue reading…]

Following the termination of a secret $90,000 backroom deal by Jeunesse, Mathew Nestler’s downline was handed over to his former partner, Kevin Giguere. Giguere was secured by Jeunesse as part of Nestler’s secret deal, with Nestler bringing him over from their previous opportunity (in which Giguere was in Nestler’s immediate downline). The transfer of Nestler’s downline [Continue reading…]

Although it probably comes as little surprise to most, within any MLM company there are typically two or more levels of affiliates. This is usually an informal arrangement and generally accepted as the status quo by the affiliate-base at large. Here at BehindMLM we typically engage the lower-rung of this hierarchy.
