A new link to video on YouTube.com was posted by The Fraud Discovery Institute recently. For the first time, a failed “Associate” of Usana Health Sciences Inc. (NASDAQ: USNA) steps forward to tell their important story of loss at the hands of the giant multi level marketer.
The courageous husband and wife, JC and Jane Bishop, of 44 years from Kansas City, Missouri showed us their experience in clear detail in this unprecedented use of the YouTube.com site, hoping to teach others about the slipperiness of this multi level marketing corporation.
Barry Minkow, Cofounder of the Fraud Discovery Institute, stated: “The problem this YouTube.com video presents for Usana is that these are real victims who went through the Usana ringer."
The video posted on The YouTube.com brings the viewer from the innocent invitation of the retired couple to a neighbors’ home, where they first heard of the Usana business opportunity. The video follows their failed Usana distributorships and the failures of their daughter and friend brought into Usana by the couple.
Minkow added: “This couple was chosen as our first Usana failure story because of their objectivity, as they concede during the interview that they still use two of the Usana products,” said Minkow. “Meaning, they were not some embittered people who spoke irrationally against the company.”
Bishops stated: “We were told to develop ‘dream boards’ of material possessions we would buy when we succeeded as Usana distributors". When asked if their becoming distributors was for the intention of purchasing products or earning money as a business opportunity, they certainly and clearly said that it was to earn money as a business opportunity.
Minkow added: "This video is only the first of many failure stories that will demonstrate in the upcoming weeks that, sadly, this couple is not the exception, as we know that 86% of Usana distributors never, ever get out of the red.” When asked why she came forward, Jane Bishop, who had recruited a friend and her daughter into the scheme –who all lost money– says, “It’s a guilt trip because you feel responsible. I’m so thankful that I didn’t do better at this, at bringing people in. I feel I have an ethical responsibility to do what I can to help expose the evil of this business model because it preys on the very worst in people.”
