Amway UK – Jim Dornan responds

(updated may 18)  A week ago I posted a letter I had been forwarded that Founders Crown Ambassador Jim Dornan of IBO Organization Network TwentyOne sent to Diamonds in his organization. The letter caused an almost instant firestorm, with Alticor responding both on it's Quixtar Corporate blogs and also on the newly launched Amway Media [...]

System Balance?

I've received a very interesting email from someone calling themselves "system balance" who is apparently quite close to the coalface regarding the issues surrounding Amway and the BSM companies in the UK and Europe.

Amway UK & Ireland – Letter from Crown Ambassador Jim Dornan

<post removed> Interesting – the letter I posted has apparently touched a nerve with Amway . I'm not quite sure what the nerve was, as in my first reading of it I didn't notice anything substantial in the email apart from support for Amway's actions. Amway obviously read more in to it than I did. [...]
