I have had two relatives get roped into this world - one ended with them forgetting they had to pay sales tax and owing massive amounts of money, to the tune of millions in back taxes, the other fizzled out pretty quickly.
The craziest part of it was they totally bought into the "super secret" nature of the whole thing. There was a huge amount of family drama when someone in the family mentioned that her brother had a business on Amazon. He said it was top secret and he had access to trade secrets that no one else had.
Having unfortunately been involved on the tech side of MLM early on in my career, it was painfully hard not to point out the predatory nature of the whole thing.
