Hi! I'd love to give you my name but I'm sure that if the Yager thugs found it out they would have me killed. I'm not kidding about that. I know those guys; I worked for them for several years and I know the way they think and the way they "solve" their problems.

I'd like to take a few minutes of my time --and oyurs-- to address some questions ans issues I have seen throughout your site.

1) Do the Yagers make more money from their tools business than from their Amway business? The answer is a definite YES. The Yagers make about three times more money selling tapes and videos, and holding the huge events they have every year, than what they make in Amway.

2) How much money do they make on each tape? Around $3. The cost of the average tape is around 57 cents (as of Decemeber '98) and they sell them to the Diamonds for around $3.55. Some Diamonds get a lower cost while others (the ones with smaller organizations) pay around $3.80 per tape. then, the Diamonds turn around and sel those tapes to their downline for around $6.00 a piece.

Videos are a much better deal, of course. The average 30 minute video costs about $3.17. That same video will be sold at the events for around $20.00. That brings a profit of $16.73 for each video. Not bad, right?

CD's are even better.The cost of a CD is right around $1. In many cases, the manufacturing cost of a CD is less than 80 cents because the Yagers will purchase the cheapest quality they can get. A large volume of the CDs they sell are manufactured in Mexico and then the audio data is recorded here in the States. The cost of the blank Mexican CDs is about 28 cents per unit. The recording process is done for about 20 cents per unit. Add another 18 or 19 cents for the paper cover and the printing on the actual "face" of the CD and you are talking about a total cost of less than 70 cents per unit. The price you will pay at the events? Anywhere between $15 and $20 per unit.

Now, I got some one question for the Yagers: If Amway is such a good business, how comes none of Dexter and Birdie's 7 children are actively working it? Doyle Yager reached the level of Direct Distributor and stopped there years ago. By the way, he reached the level of Direct thanks to the fact that Dexter and Birdie were using their own money to purchase the products that would give Doyle the volume to reach direct. Those products were then given away for charity or used at any of the Yager's non-Amway businesses and the cost was written off as a business expense. What was the motivation to help Doyle reach the level of Direct? Doyle was Dexter and Birdie's 20th Direct direct leg --the one that put them at Crown Ambassador level.

The rest of the Yager children are not even remotely connected with Amway. In fact, two of them are totally oppossed to their parents' participation in the business and they want nothing to do with it. The ones kind of close to Amway are Jeff, Steve, and Doyle. One daughter, April, sells clothing and jewelry with Amway motives. One son is president of Yager construction in Charlotte, NC.

And what about Jeff and Steve, the other two boys who run Internet? They are currently busy trying to save what is left of the company after a series of divisions among the different organizations. Those divisions brought about a loss of more than 70% of Internet's Amway-related clients.

Jeff and Steve are also busy backstabbing their brother Doyle and each other. They have realized that Internet's days are numbered and they are becoming desperate. One symptom of that desperation is all the bickering and fighting that is going on among themselves. They seem to be very much in agreement and put up a big act trying to pretend that everything is fine between them but it is not. Internet is falling apart and so is their gold mine. Having been in the inside, in direct contact with the three brothers every day and with what is left of their staff (about 35% of what it used to be) I can tell you that Internet has, maybe, three more years of existence. No company can survive when its leadership consists of Larry, Curly, and Moe and the staff is composed of a group of imbeciles whose only concern is to keep their jobs for as long as they can.

That is it for today.
