Maybe you could try making some actual debatable points rather than being a belligerent psycho trying to play the “you are all just losers with nothing better to do” card. Sorry, that doesn’t make MonaVie good, it just makes you look like a vicious a-hole.

I’m not here because I have nothing better to do, I am here because I saw what MonaVie and Team do first hand and was shocked. I decided to take action after getting the facts right and this site is a great platform for it. Maybe if you quit being a greedy jerk you could do the same and see what is being done to you right in front of your face.

If you really feel like you are above us and we are pathetic then drop the ad hominems and give us something to debate or answer some simple questions such as why anyone should sign up for a company where 98%+ of the distributors are not making money? (Not working hard enough has already been refuted, so don’t waste your time).

It’s interesting that you presented my arguments as anything less than certainties. You give a lot of “if you are wrong” and “if you are incorrect.” I invite people to comment and prove me incorrect. There are some 4000+ comments on this website, and I have only had to make one change to one article – about the number of car accidents in the United States. It wasn’t even about MonaVie.

Maybe you should ask yourself why you are not negative MonaVie. After all, this website has provided tons of irrefutable evidence supported by reputable third parties that MonaVie is a grossly overpriced product, with little nutritional value, wrapped in a poor business opportunity that is an illegal pyramid scheme, which is itself wrapped in illegal medical claims, supported by nonsensical “scientific” studies, and tied to a fraudulent charity.

Is there any redeeming quality that makes you defend the company?

Why then did MonaVie drop off of the Inc 500 list for 2010? They couldn’t sustain their growth, that’s why. From start, it is very easy for a company to grow 5000%, as MonaVie Scam has pointed out.

Can that company sustain 5000% growth forever? Every year, their revenues would have to be multiplied by 50. Even starting from $1, we see that after a few years, things start getting crazily impossible.

A starting-up company growing 5000% doesn’t really mean anything. Give me a company that is a few years old that has growth of over 1000% and then we’ll talk money.

Mun said, “As for people who are always on the negative they know where they are now & coming years.
Its all about magnetic thinking as taught by Matt Dillard.”

1) Assuming you mean that we are negative; yes, we do know where we are now. Your point? I resent that statement though; none of us here are negative. We just hate falsehood.

2) Magnetic thinking? Matt Dillard? You disgrace Mike Dillard’s name. People don’t think like a magnet. People think the way they want to think, and happen to attract other people who think alike. That is the Law of Attraction in a nutshell.

Do yourself (and us) a favor and never speak of the subject again. You’ll look like a fool. Not only that, but the Law of Attraction has nothing to do with the discussion at hand: i.e. MonaVie and the Inc 500. Unless you wanted to point out that since you happen to be an ignorant fool, your upline and downline are ignorant also. In that case, I’m proud of you for making that realization.

Microsoft went public in 1986, so it wasn’t eligible for the Inc. 500 (since it is a list of only privately held companies). It didn’t “decide” to not bother.

Also, the rankings are done based on revenue growth (see the methodology). When you get to be as big as household names like Microsoft, Jenny Craig, John Paual Mitchell, or Clif bar, it becomes exponentially difficult to continue that growth. Someone with one dollar to their name who finds a $10 bill on the ground has 1000% net worth growth. For someone like Warren Buffett to have 1000% he’d have to find a big technology company lying on the ground. The person with one dollar to his name would make the top of the Inc. 500 and Warren Buffett would be left off the list.

Of course the founders and successful distributors are grinning on the way to the bank. Remember that it is at your expense. If you want to buy my pocket lint for $500, I’ll be grinning to the bank as well.

I added an update at the beginning of the paragraph.

That is a very good point about the certification process… especially come from a bunch of executives that openly thumb their nose at the authorities.

I’ll email Jim and see if we can information on who certified the numbers. Jim did say it could be the CEO of the company, who obviously is an employee of MonaVie. That’s why I responded to Jim’s comment that the company has shown itself to not be trustworthy numerous times in the past… it was hint that we shouldn’t take such unverified information as worth anything.

Vogel, I tried to cover the revenue vs. profits with my explanation in the third bullet point.
