In my Pollyana-ish view, all the pins would have jobs in jail, doing
things like pressing the laundry, scrubbing the toilets, mopping the
floors...
Oh, and working in the kitchen mixing the Kool-aid.
From what I read in the article, though (the ones that were linked to
and copied in the post), it seems like Amway, as a real company, not as
a shill for the AMOs, is trying to keep them from communicating with
their downline at all so it would be hard for them to keep their AMO
intact, create a new company for the AMO to work under, and move the
entire pyramid to another company. It sounds like they'll have to
start from scratch if they do anything.

Here's an interesting thought about what happens if Scamway survives.
This action shows they know something is wrong with the AMOs. The
Postma memo proves they've known since 1983. I wonder if we might see
the grounds for a class action suit from all the IBOs who have lost
money because Scamway allowed it to continue and allowed their name to
be misused in the AMO deceptions.
