Quixtar today filed a complaint against MonaVie, a Salt Lake City-based company that sells a handful of juice products through a network of distributors, and several MonaVie distributors. MonaVie is standing idly by while its distributors attempt to lure representatives away from other direct selling companies—including Quixtar—in violation of Quixtar’s non-compete policies and in […]

Terminated IBO Orrin Woodward’s recent decision to ask for contributions to his “legal defense fund” was such a low point that we cannot let it pass without comment.
Since his termination for unacceptable business practices last August, Mr. Woodward has done nothing but confirm, repeatedly, our decision to let him go.
We think that any objective person […]

Happy to report to you that the Nitro case in Missouri has been dismissed by a federal judge.
The ruling itself is under seal at this point, so we can’t discuss or quote the specific findings and conclusions — at least, not yet.
But the fact that the case has been dismissed is a matter of public […]

Our sales figures for 2007 are out. By the numbers:
we posted $7.1 billion in sales—12 percent more than we made in 2006;
39 out of our 55 Amway markets—emerging and established alike—posted sales increases, with impressive results in Asia, Europe and Latin America; and
it was another billion-dollar year for Quixtar in North America.*
Our direct selling […]

It’s been quiet here lately. Not uneventful—just quiet.
And we apologize if seems we stayed quiet too long. It wasn’t intentional.
There were no big breaking news headlines to bring to you. And there was also at least a little fatigue after months of heated—and healthy—debate on this site. Our friend AMBA even ended up with […]

The key to an effective website (so says our trusty blog administrator) is a clean design that is easy to use.
Our colleagues at Quixtar would agree. We hope our North American customers will, as well.
And for you Web 2.0 nuts, Code Review is a great blog to weigh in on Quixtar’s redesign. More […]

After being on the defensive for 20 straight legal attacks, we filed suit yesterday against the corporation that owns TEAM.
We filed suit because the single legal case we brought (and won) in this matter listed Orrin Woodward as a defendant—but Woodward then claimed to have magically disappeared as the manager of TEAM before the case […]

We were back in court in Grand Rapids today, seeking a contempt motion that would have halted a planned TEAM meeting in Louisville.
We don’t have the ruling yet—we’ll post it when we do—but the judge said he would not stop the meeting.
Not what we wanted to hear.
But it was one motion, and one meeting.
Orrin Woodward […]

Yes, we did.
We filed suit this week in Ottawa County, Michigan seeking to learn more about a number of “John Does” who have cropped up online since our dispute with Orrin Woodward and TEAM began.
Because we believe we can prove that some of their sites and posts were engineered or directed by Woodward, TEAM, their […]

We respect perspectives. But they can’t hide facts.
First, the “new” Texas case mentioned in “Spaghetti.” This was a brand new case, with TEAM as the plaintiffs, attacking from a whole different angle than they did in California case. Dismissed.
The “other” Texas case: Simmons et al v. Quixtar will be heard de novo – “from […]
