MLM refers to the behavior of organizers or operators who seek illegal benefits, disrupt economic order and affect social stability by calculating and paying remuneration to the developed personnel based on their number of directly or indirectly developed personnel or sales performance, or requiring the developed personnel to obtain the qualification to join in on the condition of paying certain fees
MLM can be simply summarized as follows:
1
2. Need to constantly find partners, and set up a team under the guise of doubling income to ince others
3. Decide how much you will get in return according to the number of people below and their business performance
4. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to make the offline pay 1 yuan to the online, and the online said to teach the offline how to earn 50 yuan. As a result, when the offline gave the online 1 yuan, the online told the offline to find the same 10 idiots to do offline< According to Article 7 of the regulations of the State Council on the prohibition of pyramid selling, the following acts belong to pyramid selling:
(1) organizers or business operators, through development personnel, require other personnel developed by the developed personnel to join, and calculate and pay remuneration (including material rewards and other economic benefits) to the developed personnel based on the number of personnel developed directly or indirectly, (the same below) seeking illegal interests
(2) the organizer or business operator, through the developer, requires the developed person to pay fees or pay fees in disguised form by way of subscribing for commodities, so as to obtain the qualification of joining or developing other persons to join and seek illegal interests
(3) the organizer or business operator, through the development personnel, requests other personnel developed by the development personnel to join, forms the relationship between the upper and lower line, and calculates and pays the online remuneration based on the sales performance of the lower line, so as to seek illegal interests.
in order to protect the right of privacy, the specific name will not be released, such as the case of "Wanfu coin of future city" organized and led pyramid selling activities cracked in Xuzhou, and the official name of its leader is Liu Mou Ben
reporters in some "Wan Fu" promotion website and official account, many of the title of Liu, including the president of the global future city group, former vice governor of California, etc., and many pictures of Liu and foreign dignitaries and celebrities. In order to develop more members, Mr. Liu also held a huge investment promotion conference in Bali, Indonesia, Hong Kong and other places, attracting thousands of people from China
Liu also claimed that "Wanfu coin" was approved by the US Securities Regulatory Commission and the China Banking Regulatory Commission and would soon apply for a direct sales license in China. According to police investigation, "Wanfu coin" as a virtual digital currency has no legal basis to apply for direct marketing license in China, which is purely fictitiousaccording to the relevant person in charge of Xuzhou public security bureau, "Wanfu coin" reflects the new characteristics of the current MLM
1. In the name of virtual currency, virtual currency is a new thing for pyramid selling. At the same time, it is attractive under the banner of e-commerce, personal finance and distance ecation, which is not understood by the general public and easy to be deceived
2. Development members on the Internet are all carried out on the Internet, and members can only join the MLM through the website, and the user names used are pseudonyms or code names, and they all have their own login passwords. They chat with each other mainly through wechat. This has changed the traditional mode of setting up a studio and a newspaper center to organize activities, and increased the concealment of MLM
3. Spread on the Internet
the Internet makes the pyramid selling break through the restrictions of regions and national boundaries. The backbone personnel of pyramid selling often set their headquarters abroad, hide abroad and issue orders. It is difficult to arrest, recover stolen goods and get rid of the roots when funds are transferred abroad
according to the police, there are 100 or 200 kinds of "virtual currency" publicized on the Internet, which is hard to distinguish between true and false. The use of virtual currency for illegal fund-raising, pyramid selling, fraud and other criminal activities are frequent, investors should carefully screen
has the final say:
virtual currency network platform features
1, hype "new concept"
virtual currency network platform has very flexible form, often make only superficial changes, many are just made some concepts, all "game rules" are all platform based, there is a very big black box operation space. p>
2. Advocate "zero risk"
"real zero risk, only make no loss financial project", "China's first FC virtual currency is born, will create countless millionaires again"... The reporter saw that on a flyer page of FC virtual currency, there is such a slogan. A "player" told reporters that other "players" also claimed that in the future, a coin can buy a house
In the case of Yiyang network platform, many participants are over 60 years old, and the oldest is close to 80 years old. They usually spend most of their time at home with their grandchildren. They don't understand the Internet, and they listen to others. The elderly have accumulated a certain amount of wealth, and they don't know much about new things, so it's difficult to identify false propaganda, so it's easy to become the target of these network platformsno matter how much economists talk about virtual economy, the ugly essence of virtual economy can never be covered up: it doesn't proce any material object or utility value, and it plays financial tricks of cheating money with symbols and concepts. As for what is a virtual economy, it is not the financial securities instry, the real estate instry, the gambling instry, the collection instry, or even the sports and cultural undertakings that economists say. As long as it can proce procts and provide utility, whether it is material or spiritual, it should not be a virtual economy. For example, real estate is the creation of use value, if there is no speculation and bubble, it is not a virtual economy; If banks do not engage in financial derivatives, stocks and securities do not issue at a premium, collection does not engage in speculation, and sports culture does not engage in gimmicks, it is not a virtual economy. There is only one instry that is a natural and genuine virtual economy, namely gambling. Gambling is the essence of virtual economy. When the financial securities, real estate, collection and other instries use people's gambling psychology to circle and cheat money, it will become a virtual economy
gambling psychology is the concentrated expression of human selfish, gain for nothing, laziness and other bad human nature, of course, it is also the expression of risk-taking spirit and risk consciousness. There are risks in all economic investments, so there are more or less gambling mentality. Because of this, in addition to capital interest, the return on investment also has risk return. However, this kind of return on investment must be based on utility value creation. If we break away from the creation of utility value and only talk about risk and return, it will become pure speculation and gambling. Only by grasping the essential difference between investment and speculation can we really understand the essence of virtual economy
since we can't create value, how can we play the financial trick of making money with money? How can we circle and cheat money? The key to this trick is to create a financial bubble and an economic bubble. Super money, stock premium, high real estate and other commodity prices, and the circular valuation of various financial derivatives are all means of making bubbles. The essence of bubbles is the artificially high valuation or valuation. The trick of fictitious economy is to exploit the credibility gained by official or commercial speculation to cheat ordinary people's trust, to ince and amplify the gambling psychology of the people. When people go to the bubble market when they are mocking into the fire, the symbols in their hands (corresponding to stock or real value of commodities) are realized. In short, the trick of virtual economy is to create bubbles and realisk the value of virtual symbols. There are at least three evils in Virtual Economy: parasitism and kidnapping. Virtual economy is born because of the service of real economy. Because it can't proce goods and create value, its game is based on real economy. The hype of its symbols and concepts all relies on the proctivity and creativity of the real economy, but the symbols and concepts are not descriptions of the real economy, but exaggerations and even fictions. For example, when a company goes public or issues stocks, it must rely on the operation of real enterprises, and then package and speculate. Only by issuing stocks at a premium can it get money. For example, the over issuance of money must be implemented with the help of the concepts of high-speed economic growth and prosperity, investment stimulating domestic demand and other real economy operations
virtual economy parasitizes and kidnaps the real economy. As long as the real enterprise is favored by the venture capital, it will inevitably embark on the virtual road of packaging and speculation. In addition to earning the stock market premium, the enterprise's original proction and development track, its original development concept and instrial spirit are difficult to continue to maintain. Everything has to be done according to the logic of the venture capital< The second is fraud and deprivation. Today's so-called rich list, few are not involved in real estate, and few are not IPO. The richest people around the world are changing year by year. If you look at the history of their prosperity, they are basically on the same track: they earn the first bucket of gold through real estate, and then set up an entity enterprise as a shell to make certain "brilliant" performance, and then package and go public. The day of listing is the time to be on the rich list. After the circle of money, the real enterprise did not really make great progress, so it turned into cash and left. The next listed company will create the next rich. A listed company in a certain place will proce a local richest man who is short-lived. The rich are constantly emerging, and the real enterprises and the real economy have not developed much. Play IPO is to circle the money in the hands of ordinary people, which is not only fraud, but also deprivation
the third is extrusion and failure. All kinds of games and tricks of virtual economy are directed by the government and financial enterprises. A lot of money is left behind, leaving behind the housing bubble, stock market bubble, inflation and stagflation. When the monetary policy is loose, the real estate market and stock market are rising, and the real enterprises are not favored by funds; When the monetary policy is tight, the real enterprises, especially the small and medium-sized enterprises, will not get financial support, because the financial instry will only chase and manipulate the profiteering instry, the real estate instry is the real estate instry, and so is the stock and securities instry
in the name of developing the real economy, the virtual economy squeezes and destroys the real economy, and gains the profits of encircling and cheating money. Capital is innocent, but when capital is not used for investment but only for speculation, or nominal investment but substantive speculation, there will be crime and harm
it is no exaggeration to say that the evil and harm of virtual economy is not only the deprivation and destruction of the real economy and people's life, but also the phagocytosis of human material civilization and spiritual civilization. If the virtual economy is not abolished, it will eventually lead to the decline and degeneration of human beings
the reason why the United States is a virtual economic power is based on the power and hegemony of the United States as the number one power and the US dollar as the world currency. Of course, the virtual economy of the United States also has the crime and harm of fraud, deprivation and destruction, but this kind of fraud, deprivation and destruction is worldwide rather than local. The United States can buy any kind of material resources it wants to get in the world to improve the life of its people by issuing money all over the world. Just like all banks depriving real enterprises, the United States is the world bank. Compared with the United States, other countries in the world are real enterprises. The United States deprives other countries just as banks deprive enterprises
we can't engage in virtual economy, because if we engage in virtual economy, it will bring down our real economy. Therefore, first of all, we should abolish the virtual economy by ourselves. Second, we should start to wake up and can no longer be cheated and deprived by the virtual economy of the United States (Xiao Zhonghua)
