It’s the million dollar shell companies that’s the problem up there. (And the fines don’t speak too well, either.)
I covered this industry for the business press. I read the docs in most of the Nu Skin cases. Lefty fishing expeditions all, the ones I saw. Not that there's no such thing as fast-talking salesmen, or ones who cheat their distributors, or companies built on nothing. But Nu Skin has been a pretty tight act: real products and appropriate rules for distributors. They would fight some of these regulator cases, and pay others to make them go away, like any big, bland corporation.
