How Can 1 Million People Be So DUMB??

[MJ DeMarco]

I know this topic is floating around here elsewhere, but it bears repeating.

1 MILLION.

Not 10,000, 100,000, but 1 FN million.

The answer seems to be a toxic combination of financial desperation, greed, sales-culture brainwashing, misplaced faith and the power of positive thinking.

How can 1 million people be this dumb? - Al Lewis - MarketWatch

To the indoctrinated, this online letter was not a red flag, but reassurance. The comments some affiliates posted beneath Burks’s letter provide an easy explanation of how an alleged $600 million online Ponzi scheme, involving 1 million victims, came together in less than 20 months. Here are some of those comments:

• “I have heard people who said things like zeekrewards is a money game. I did not see it that way otherwise, as they say, I would have not touched it with a nine foot pole. I am glad you allowed the lawyers to look it over. That speaks volumes to what kind of man you are.”

• “I have been in the legal industry for 12.5 years and I can say I think you have made a FANTASTIC decision to be proactive with these type of business issues.”

• “I live in Hickory, N.C. We are most fortunate to have this great company in our backyard. Many, many thanks!”

• “I’m a very honest PERSON! By you putting all this in place ... tells me you are a honest company that is here for the people!”

• “As one of your very grateful affiliates, have you made provisions that just in case (God forbids) anything happens to you that you cannot continue to function as our most able CEO...?”

• “Thank you so much Mr. Burks for putting most of our questions to rest. I wake up every morning with a big smile on my face because I am so grateful to be a part of this incredibly exciting company!”

• “Before i found this co i was struggling very bad now i have decided that no one can stop me but me. dream big dreams and they will come true.”

• “I really like your new ideas, and look forward to watching my money grow. ...Prior to connecting with your company, I had an unfortunate introduction to someone on the Internet, who was only out for the money he could steal. He managed to take me for $1,500, right at Christmas time; it’s my own fault, and I don’t blame anyone else, but it sure did teach me a huge lesson. Lord willing, I shall be able to make back what I lost. ...I will be getting married.. Neither my fiancee nor I have anything to start up housekeeping; but we have chosen to just take it one day at a time; depending on Father God to supply our needs, not our greeds.”

The most powerful marketing hook is laziness, anything, that can bypass process. (Actual, hard work.)
