That's part of how I got my daughter out. She got into financial trouble and I offered to help her, with one condition. She was to spend no more money on Quixtar, AMO stuff, or events. She agreed. Today she is completely out (after losing a considerable amount of money that she had charged to credit cards and had to pay back) and she is doing well. She also found out when she left Quixtar, that all those "friends" who loved her, would have nothing to do with her anymore. That was also a real eye-opener for her.
I couldn't see giving her any money to help if she was just going to turn around and feed her own money back into Quixtar. I have to mention that she was a college graduate working full-time when she got involved with Quixtar.
Today she is Quixtar-free and happy.
