Amway critics lie. Again.

February 26th, 2013 | Posted in Cheryl Rhodes (Anna Banana), Commentary, Critics of Amway

I’ve multiple times pointed out the lies of Amway critic “joecool”, who has been exposed creating false blogs and false identities simply to rubbish Amway. A reliable source contacted me a while back and told me that Anna Banana, aka Cheryl Rhodes, was doing much the same on her “Married to an Ambot” blog, and [...]

Debunking the critics. Claim: the one who does the work receives the smallest compensation

September 3rd, 2012 | Posted in Amway Myths, Steve Nakamura (JoeCool)

In recent weeks I’ve done a couple of posts where I’ve highlighted some of Amway’s online critics and their hypocrisy and sometimes downright fraudulent behaviour. But what about the claims they make about Amway? Do they make legitimate points? Occasionally they do. But not often. Here’s a recent example: Over the weekend Joecool aka Steve [...]

Anna Banana Unveiled

August 23rd, 2012 | Posted in Cheryl Rhodes (Anna Banana), Critics of Amway

Normally I think people who post anonymously online have a right to their privacy and their identities should generally not be revealed. I make exceptions under certain circumstances. Joecool for example, I originally uncovered when he was (falsely) accusing IBOs of threatening his family and later was shown to be posting under different names, pretending [...]

Who is Amway critic Joecool? And does he owe me $50000?

July 27th, 2012 | Posted in Critics of Amway, Steve Nakamura (JoeCool)

I’ve occasionally participated on a website called scam.com. There’s regular duels there between MLM supporters and anti-MLM zealots with their usual falsehoods and misconceptions. Back in August 2011 a poster joined using the nickname Joecool44. As of writing this post, he has, since joining scam.com contributed 3,473 posts, at an average of nearly 10 posts [...]

Class action against Amway Canada thrown out

July 18th, 2012 | Posted in Amway News, Amway North America, Cheryl Rhodes (Anna Banana), Robert FitzPatrick

Well, “thrown out” is probably not a technically correct legal term, but the result is the same. Back in 2009 a pair of disgruntled IBOs, husband and wife Kerry Murphy and Cheryl Rhodes, of Cloverdale, British Columbia, filed a class action lawsuit against Amway Canada. This  of course made news with the anti-Amway brigade, but funnily [...]

Critiquing the Critics

April 16th, 2012 | Posted in Critics of Amway

Bloomberg Business Week has today published an article about the direct selling industry that appears to be little more than a propaganda piece straight from the pen of MLM critic Robert FitzPatrick. It astounds me that supposed journalists do so little research on these self-declared “experts” and even less on the claims they’re making. So I’m going [...]

1222 new Founder Platinums and above for Amway North America!

October 12th, 2011 | Posted in Amway Facts, Amway North America, Steve Nakamura (JoeCool)

I saw a tweet from Jody Victor earlier today that was so incredible I had to confirm it before posting about it here – What I needed to confirm was this was just for Amway North America. It seemed too small for Amway globally, but an almost unbelievable result for just Amway in North America. [...]
