132. In addition to encountering regulatory problems overseas, Mannatech also used
improper tactics to sell Mannatech products in countries where Mannatech did not have permission
to do so. For example, the former Public Relations Representative knew Mannatech’s Mexican
Director Rafael “Raffy” Cruz (“Cruz”). Cruz was supposedly hired to open the Mexican market to
- 59 -
Mannatech products, but Mannatech did not have approval or legal rights to sell its products in
Mexico. Cruz had been one of the top associates in the United States prior to “joining” Mannatech,
and continued to have an active downline after joining Mannatech. The confidential witness
confirmed that Cruz was trying to get individuals in Mexico or who traveled to Mexico to agree to
accept large shipments of Mannatech products, which the recipients were then supposed to re-sell to
customers in Mexico. This was “a way around” the rules against Mannatech selling directly in
Mexico.
