They'll also claim that it's improper or rude to request to see
someone's private tax information. Remember that they are seeking to
involve someone in a BUSINESS, as an associate or a partner. (I
understand that it's not technically a "partnership,
use that word when recruiting. They also like the word "team.")
If you go into business with ANYONE, MLM or not, you have the right
and the obligation to yourself to inspect the financial records of the
company so that you know the current status of that business. Is it a
good risk? Is it insolvent? Is it what they claim it is?
Anything can be "dummied up," but if they used a tax return (Schedule
C) to document their business claims and it turns out to be false,
there could be a substantial claim of fraud if you end up losing money
because of it. The FTC has made specific rulings about making false
claims, and I can't think of anything more fraudulent than using a
falsified tax return to prop up a false income claim.
