as you can probably tell from my handle, I just got started with World Ventures. A lot of people have disparaging things to say about Network Marketing, so it doesn't surprise me that even a legitimate company with fantastic products like World Ventures would draw negativity. I don't know about legal terms, I'm not a lawyer. I don't know about the founder's backgrounds really, I just got started in this company.

All I know is this:

In the United States alone, 32.18 billion dollars were done in sales in Network Marketing. Worldwide, over 100 billion.
Worldwide there are 66 million people in thirteen different countries involved in network marketing.
One in eight households in the United States owns a homebased business.
One in three households in the United States owns a product made by a homebased business.
Travel is a 7 trillion dollar industry. Entertainment is a multi Billion dollar industry. Therefore the travel industry is (in terms of zeroes) one thousand times bigger than the entertainment industry. Lets say that network marketing companies take up one percent of the sales done in travel. One percent of 7 trillion: 70 billion. Lets say there are ten network marketing companies out there and each get an equal slice of that one percent. They all make 7 billion dollars. World Ventures has 75,000 members so far. Lets say it's a utopian world and everybody gets an equal slice of that pie. Every member would get 93,000 dollars a year. Now they don't give out money. You have to work the business, and some work it harder than others, and it's also not a utopian world, but you get the idea of the type of income that you can stake out for yourself.

You can say whatever you want, but those are facts.
