TEAM IBOs have been running a forum at http://forums.freetheibo.info. Frankly I don’t think they’ve been helping their cause much, as many of them have been talking about practices explicitly against Quixtar rules. I’ve been somewhat sympathetic to some of the issues TEAM has raised, but to be honest, their reps. are starting to p**s me [...]

The Wayne County Circuit Court has, correctly in my view, issued a temporary restraining order against Quixtar. Last week Quixtar sent a letter threatening TEAM-affiliated platinums with suspension if they didn’t return a signed letter to Quixtar agreeing to certain conditions by noon Monday.

While there are some things I disagree with (and at least one error of fact I’m aware of) I actually agree with much of what he is saying here.

Later press reports indicated his inclusion in the suit was an error. Well, I was perusing the [...]

In response to the letter from Quixtar to TEAM-affiliated Platinums, TEAM sent out the following to TEAM IBOs. I’m no lawyer, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this communication violates the temporary restraining order that Quixtar obtained last week. To All Team Customers, As you are all aware, Quixtar has recently issued a shocking ultimatum [...]
