左旋朋友放话：如果安利敢于狡辩赖皮，将发动百万安利传销人员共同揭露安利侵权罪行，并帮助参加安利传销被骗遭受损人员讨回公道，获取赔偿，退还囤积货物，彻底铲除毒瘤！！事实上参加安利销售人员百分之九十以上没有利润。》》》

郑李锦芬撤职的真正原因
美国安利总部今年8月31日突然宣布安利中国总经理郑李锦芬辞职，引起直销界哗然。郑太刚刚58岁，为何急流勇退。发表在美国消费者官网上的一则新闻或许给出了答案。

以下是美国反金字塔诈骗网的文章内容，感谢北京青木女士的翻译：

Amway is the largest, oldest and best known representative of “multi-level marketing” (MLM). It is the most prominent member of the Direct Selling Association.

安利是最大、最早、最著名的“多层次传销”(MLM，俗称传销。)的代表，它也是直销协会的最重要的成员。

This icon of “direct selling” just announced that it has agreed to pay restitution to consumers and reform costs estimated at over $150 million. The payments are in response to consumer accusations that Amway/Quitar is operating an illegal pyramid scheme. The settlement is the largest in MLM history. 　

这个“直销”大佬已经宣称同意支付赔偿给消费者并实行整改，这些赔偿金预计将超过1亿5千万美元。这些资金主要用于赔付消费者对安利/捷星非法传销运作的指控。这种赔偿在传销史上也是史无前例的一次。

Three Directors and Advisory Board members of Pyramid Scheme Alert served individually as experts or consultants in this historic class action case against Amway. The suit was filed by the law firm of Boies, Schiller & Flexner。

来自“传销阴谋警告”的三位理事和咨询委员会成员分别作为专家或顾问服务于此次针对安利的集体诉讼。本次诉讼由‘Boies, Schiller & Flexner’律师事务所受理。

The size of the settlement astonished some observers and the news is spreading fast. It was reported on the front page of the USATodayAmway11.05.10. About $55 million of the total is in actual cash and products as restitution for victims and legal fees. Other elements of the settlement include substantial price reductions to make retail sales feasible, and major changes in the infamous “tools” business that will require Amway to take greater responsibility. These schemes are run by some of Amway’s top recruiters and have been allowed to function as arm’s length, rogue operations, though highly beneficial to Amway.

本次处置的规模之大震惊了好些关注此此的人，消息也飞速的传播来来。这则消息于10年11月5日被登载在了USAToday的头版。总额约五千五百万美元的现金和产品将用于支付受害者赔偿和律师费。此次整改的其它细节还包括实际地降低产品价格，以使产品零售具有可行性；并且最大的改变在于安利需要为其声名狼藉的营销“工具”（即直销人员）担负起更大的责任。这些传销行为虽然只是由那些安利高级营销人员运作，并且运作时与安利公司之间保持了‘一臂之距’，这是一种欺骗运作，但这种距离对安利公司却是极度有利的。

The huge settlement throws open to question the validity of Direct Selling Association’s “Code of Ethics” and the legitimacy of all other multi-level marketing companies as viable “business opportunities.,” based on the Amway model.

这次规模巨大的处罚对直销协会“伦理法则”的正确性以及其它所有基于安利模式的传销公司作为可行的“商业机会”的合理性都广泛地打上了一个大大的问号。

Among the accusations made in the Amway class action suit that resulted in Amway’s agreement to pay $150 million (the suit was technically brought against Quixtar, the now defunct name used by Amway for its North American operations):

在这个致使安利同意赔付1亿五千万美元的集体诉讼中（此次诉讼也技术性地起诉了捷星，安利之前在北美运作过程中使用过的一个名称）：

* Amway is an illegal pyramid scheme.
* Amway’s Kingpin companies that sell “motivation and training” products to recruits are also an illegal pyramid scheme.
* Amway criminally violates federal racketeering law.
* Amway violates California’s “endless chain” law.
* Amway masks “criminal behavior” with claims that it is in compliance with a federal Amway ruling of more than 25 years ago. In fact, Amway is not in compliance with the ruling.
* Amway induces salespeople to buy thousands of dollars of overpriced products and useless “success tools” and then to recruit others to do the same in an endless chain scheme that dooms, by design, nearly all to losses.
* Amway deliberately deceives consumers to enroll in the pyramid scheme in which they inevitably suffer financial loss.
* Amway’s arbitration rule which is intended to prevent victim lawsuits against it is unfair and “unconscionable”.
* Amway commits wire fraud and mail fraud.

* 安利是一个非法传销。
* 销售“激励与培训”产品给营销人员的安利总公司也是一个非法传销。
* 安利违反了联邦诈骗法案。
* 安利违反了加利福利亚州“无穷尽链”法案。
* 安利宣称它遵守着一项25年前的联邦安利裁定以试图掩盖其“罪行”。事实上，也没有遵守此项裁定。
* 安利引诱销售人员购买成千上万美元的价格超高产品以及无用的“成功工具”，然后用同样地方式招募新人，这在设计上就决定了其无穷尽模式，几乎所有的人都是要损失的。
* 安利故意欺骗消费者参加传销，期间他们将不可避免的要遭受财产损失。
* 安利的仲裁条款意图阻止受害者们起诉它的不公平和不合理。
* 安利犯了电信诈骗和邮件诈骗。

The 99% Factor

A key aspect of the suit is the charge that Amway misleads consumers with false income claims and promises for its “business opportunity.” Pyramid Scheme Alert’s analysis of Amway payouts to distributors shows that more than 99% of all who sign up never earn a profit. When actual costs are factored, including the related “tools” business, some estimates put the loss rates at 99.9%. This 99% loss figure correlates with tax data gathered as early as the 1980s when the state of Wisconsin prosecuted Amway. It was also verified by data gained by federal regulators in England who sued to shut down Amway in that country just several years ago.

99%的因素

这套系统的一个关键方面是安利的费用，安利错误的误导直销员收入水平和承诺商业机遇。“警报传销”的分析很多安利直销商数据显示,超过99%的直销人员永远无法获利。包括实际成本因素,包括相关的“成功工具”培训,据估计在安利直销员中损失比率达到99.9%的。早在上世纪80年代威斯康星州起诉安利公司。前几年在英国的调查人员数据证实了安利公司税务问题导致安利在英国的公司停产。

Under terms of the settlement, Amway will be restating its “income disclosure” to reflect that the figure offered to consumers is a “gross income” not net, meaning that it is not profit and does not reflect costs that consumers incur when they pursue the scheme.(It should be noted that Amway’s advertised “average income” is also a “mean”, not a median, average, so it factors the high incomes of the few at the peak of the pyramid, skewing the “average” upward. Such a skewed “average” can also mislead consumers to think that the “average” participant actually earns a profit, masking the reality that the vast majority earn no commissions at all or no net profit.
根据结算，安利反思了公司收入出现的披露。安利公司提供给直销人员是一个“总收入“数据而不是净收入，也就是说，它不能显示利润也不能反映成本，直销人员只是简单的追求这个数字。(值得注意的是，安利宣称的平均收入，不是中位数，也不是平均平均，只是安利金字塔上面高收入直销员的平均值。这样的 “平均值”可以误导直销人员，他们认为是平均营销人员的利润，掩盖了绝大多数直销员没有净收入的事实)。
安利被指控诈骗；赔偿1.5亿美金；联邦贸易委员会与司法部门都干什么去了？
Amway is the largest, oldest and best known representative of “multi-level marketing” (MLM). It is the most prominent member of the Direct Selling Association.

2010年09月02日01:45新京报我要评论(4) 字号：T|T
　　 本报讯 （记者范旭光）昨日，美国安利公司宣布，批准安利执行副总裁、安利(中国)董事长郑李锦芬女士的退休申请，2011年1月郑将正式卸任现职。

　　安利对郑34年的安利生涯给予极高评价。据了解，她1992年积极推动美国安利公司来华投资，并使安利在中国取得长足的发展。她本人独具领导魅力，于2008、2009年两度入选美国《福布斯》“全球百位最具影响力女性”。2009年安利在华销售额超过200亿元人民币，连续七年成为安利全球第一大市场，四度入选中国纳税百强。

　　据悉，现任安利大中华区行政总裁的颜志荣将坐上安利中国的头把交椅，由他直接向美国安利公司董事长及总裁汇报工作。

颜志荣

* 安利是一个非法传销组织。

* 销售“激励与培训”产品给营销人员的安利总公司也是一个非法传销。
* 安利违反了联邦诈骗法案。
* 安利违反了加利福利亚州“无穷尽链”法案。
* 安利宣称它遵守着一项25年前的联邦安利裁定以试图掩盖其“罪行”。事实上，也没有遵守此项裁定。
* 安利引诱销售人员购买成千上万美元的价格超高产品以及无用的“成功工具”，然后用同样地方式招募新人，这在设计上就决定了其无穷尽模式，几乎所有的人都是要损失的。
* 安利故意欺骗消费者参加传销，期间他们将不可避免的要遭受财产损失。
* 安利的仲裁条款意图阻止受害者们起诉它的不公平和不合理。
* 安利犯了电话诈骗和邮件诈骗。

The 99% Factor
A key aspect of the suit is the charge that Amway misleads consumers with false income claims and promises for its “business opportunity.” Pyramid Scheme Alert’s analysis of Amway payouts to distributors shows that more than 99% of all who sign up never earn a profit. When actual costs are factored, including the related “tools” business, some estimates put the loss rates at 99.9%. This 99% loss figure correlates with tax data gathered as early as the 1980s when the state of Wisconsin prosecuted Amway. It was also verified by data gained by federal regulators in England who sued to shut down Amway in that country just several years ago.

这场诉讼的关键一点是对安利用虚假的收入声明误导消费者以及“商机”许诺的控诉。“警惕金字塔”对安利给支付给经销商们的费用分析表明，超过99%的安利签约经销商从未赚取过一分利润。当包括相关的“成功工具”业务等实际成本被考虑后，估计赔钱率大概要达到99.9%。这个99%亏损的数字与早在1980年威斯康辛州起诉安利时收集的税务数据可以对应起来。几年前控告并取缔了安利的英国联邦管理者收集的数据也同样证实这一点。

Under terms of the settlement, Amway will be restating its “income disclosure” to reflect that the figure offered to consumers is a “gross income” not net, meaning that it is not profit and does not reflect costs that consumers incur when they pursue the scheme. (It should be noted that Amway’s advertised “average income” is also a “mean”, not a median, average, so it factors the high incomes of the few at the peak of the pyramid, skewing the “average” upward. Such a skewed “average” can also mislead consumers to think that the “average” participant actually earns a profit, masking the reality that the vast majority earn no commissions at all or no net profit.)

根据此次处置，安利将要重新描述它的“收入披露”以提供给消费者的数字只是“毛收入”而不是净收入，表明它不是利润并且不反映消费者在执行传销时他们所要付出的成本。(要知道，安利广告宣传的“平均收入”也只是一个“平均的”平均数，而不是中位数；在金字塔尖端的小部分人的高收入把“平均数”拉高了。这样的一个被拉高了的“平均数”也会误导消费者觉得“普通的”传销人员事实上也可以赚到钱，这样就掩盖了绝大多数人根本赚不到佣金或净利润的事实。)
Muzzled Regulators 沉默的管理者

Amway has concealed or obscured these devastating losses to consumers, totaling in the billions over time, with elaborate diversions and rationalizations. But, its most effective weapon of mass deception has been its ability to influence politicians who in turn muzzle regulators.
安利隐匿或掩藏了这些对消费者来说灾难性的损失，通过精心策划的转换及合理化，时间久了损失总计达数十亿。但是，欺骗人们最为有效的手段是其影响政客并轮流使管理者沉默的能力。
The lack of government prosecutions, along with sophisticated PR spin and misleading income data have given MLM schemes an aura of legitimacy, heightening their ability to fool consumers and the media as well. Gradually, though, the truth about how MLMs have escaped regulation is coming to light. The answer is plain and simple: MLMs bought influence in Washington and in some state legislatures with campaign contributions and high pressure lobbying.

缺乏政府监管，连同老练的公关周旋和误导性的收入数据给予了多层次传销一个合法的光环，也增强了他们欺骗消费者和媒体的能力。渐渐地，尽管关于传销怎样逃脱监管的真相已经大白；答案是清晰而简单的：传销们通过竞选出资和高压游说来影响华盛顿和某些州政府。

Amway is ranked as #68 in the 75 top corporate sponsors of Washington politicians, according to the investigative news magazine, Mother Jones. It ranks ahead of food giant Archer Daniels Midland, pharmaceutical behemoth Bristol Myers Squibb and just behind in ranking of Wal-mart, General Motors and oil magnate, Koch Industries.

根据琼斯母亲杂志的调查，安利在75个顶级华盛顿政客赞助商中排名第68。排在食品巨人阿彻丹尼尔斯米德兰和药业巨兽百时美施贵宝的之前，并紧随在沃尔玛、通用汽车和石油巨头科氏工业集团的后面。

Admission of Guilt?
Even though the settlement states that Amway admits no wrongdoing, the fact that Amway agreed to pay accusers and incur other remedial costs up to $150 million and chose not to allow the case to go to trial will be read by many people as compelling evidence of guilt. A settlement of this size can hardly be written off as cheaper than legal defense. In fact, Amway incurred huge legal costs and held up the settlement for three years by arguing not that the accusations were untrue but that the victims had no legal right to bring a suit. When the right to sue was established in court, Amway paid up.

尽管这项决议声明上安利不承认犯罪，实际上安利同意赔偿起诉者们并导致其它补偿性花费达到1.5亿美元，安利选择不让案子走是法庭，这样案子和惹人眼球的罪证将被广大的人们所关注。如此规模的处决很难被认为比打法律官司要来得便宜。事实上，安利还招致了巨额的律师费并执行决议三年边争辩说指控是不正当的若非受害者们没有合法权利来挑起诉讼。当有权利诉诸于法庭时，安利已经赔偿完了。

Obvious questions are raised by the suit and the settlement

这项指控和处决提出了几个显著的问题
* Will the Dept. of Justice now investigate the consumers’ charges that Amway engages in criminal behavior?
* Will the Federal Trade Commission, finally, investigate the consumers’ charge of Amway is operating a pyramid scheme in violation of the Amway ruling of 1979?
* Will the California Attorney General begin to investigate the charges that Amway violates its state anti-pyramid scheme law?

* 司法部门现在还会调查消费者指控的安利所从事的罪行吗？
* 最终，联邦贸易委员会还会调查消费者指控的安利正在运作一项违反了1979年安利裁定的非法传销吗？
* 加利福尼亚州总检察长还会着手调查关于安利违反了加州反金字塔传销法案的指控吗？

The huge settlement and payments to victims follows other actions againt Amway. Government regulators in England several years ago sought to close down Amway for defrauding consumers in that country. Criminal charges have also been brought in one state in India against Amway. And Amway is also being sued for deception and fraud in Canada by Canadian consumers.

巨型处决与对受害者的赔偿跟随着其它反安利的动作。几年之前，英国政府管理者就以在他们国家欺骗消费者为由设法取缔了安利。安利在印度的一个州也遭遇了犯罪指控。并且安利在加拿大也因欺骗和诈骗被消费者控告。

It is an open question as to how many actions by other governments, consumer lawsuits and evidence of harm are required before the FTC and Dept. of Justice act.

还需要多少来自其它政府、消费者控诉和伤害证据才能让在联邦贸易委员会和司法部门采取是一个有待解决的问题。

The recently published book, No One Would Listen, by whistle blower, Harry Markopolos, dramatically describes how SEC regulators ignored his alerts and allowed the Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme to grow to enormous proportions. Their failure to act caused harm to thousands more people, despite his written and detailed warnings, which he brought to the agency five separate times over an eight-year period of investigating the scam. Additionally, the news media such as the Wall Street Journal and Forbes magazine also failed to respond to his evidence which he offered them. Madoff was apparetnly treated as “too big to expose.”

whistle blower和Harry Markopolos写的一本最近出版的书《无人愿听》戏剧性的描述了美国证监会管理层如何忽视他的警告并致使Bernard Madoff的庞氏骗局发展到无比巨大。他们失败的作为对成千上万的人们产生了危害，尽管八年间他分五次提交了书面详尽的关于此骗局的警示给代理机构。此外，诸如华尔街日报和福布斯杂志这样的媒体也未对他提供给他们的证据作出反应。显然地，Madoff被当作“大到而难以揭露”来处理了。

Beyond possible new regulatory investigations of Amway, the lawsuit settlement raises another even larger question about other MLM companies:

除了针对安利的新的可能的监管调查之外，此次诉讼处决得出了一个关于其它传销公司的更大问题：

How many other MLM companies are operating exactly as Amway does, which led to this huge payment to victims? This question is especially relevant to regulators and other law firms since the standard defense of most multi-level marketing companies is that they are legal because they operate just like Amway!
有多少传销公司正与导致了这次给消费者支付巨额赔偿的安利公司那样运作着？这个问题对管理者和其它法律事务所来说尤其相关，因为这个关系到大多数传销公司是否合法的标准抗争，因为他们的运作与安利是一样的！
