Bob Fitzpatrick, co-author of the book False Profits: Seeking Financial and Spiritual Deliverance in Multi-Level Marketing and Pyramid Schemes, has this to say:

"Ruth Carter reveals multi-level deception, delusion and guile in the Amway distributor business. She has penetrated a network of shame, fear and guilt that has shielded this bogus business from exposure. Congratulations to her for the courage to put the truth in print."

A Former Emerald Direct Distributor:

I feel compelled to send this to you after having emerged from one of the Amway motivational cults. I did not try this out and leave as a disgruntled distributor... I built this to the Emerald level with business literally spanning the globe. What I discoverd at this level was widespread systematic deceit of the highest order. My wife and I gave up years of our life (and that of our children) for this ... the "freedom" I bought as an Emerald was a non stop 24-7 work week with little or no time for family and friends. In my opinion, the Diamonds and DeVos and Van Andel family members who operate/manage Amway/Quixtar, whom I once idolized, appear to be some of the most dishonest, wholly corrupt, morally bankrupt people I have ever been associated with. I hope and pray that your book spares many of the Amway/Quixtar cultish nightmare that we have endured.
