"In mid-1993, one of plaintiffs' downlines, Roger Connolly, was being "counseled" by Samir Attalah concerning his Amway business. In violation of Amway rules, Samir Attalah used his influence and status to pressure Mr. Connolly into taking out a $20,000 loan so that he could invest that sum of money in a land development scheme. Mr. Attalah represented to Mr. Connolly that he was investing money into the scheme and guaranteed his investment and return. Mr. Attalah never disclosed that he was to receive twenty percent (20%) for each investment solicited. At or about the same time Mr. Attalah also used his influence and status in World Wide and Amway to pressure other downlines to Kathy Taylor, including, but not limited to, Patrick Schultz."

Samir and Theresa's Amway Experience

Samir emigrated from Egypt with $40 to his name. He worked as a janitor to put himself thought Bible college. Later, he took a paper route and attained a Master's degree in computer science from Seattle University.

When Samir saw the business, he did not understand the potential. For almost two full years, Samir simply used products and attended some meetings. With the friendship and mentorship of Brad & Julie Duncan, and after making a decision to build the business seriously, Samir went Silver in seven months and Ruby in three month more.

Samir and Theresa met as IBOs when Samir was a Ruby. They got to know each other better as Samir went Emerald. Before getting into the business, Theresa had already seen the plan, but the second time she saw it, she saw that her life could be so much better. She was working on am MBA and had a corporate sales job, but she wanted much more than the corporate world could offer.

Samir and Theresa built a Diamond business together. They have three children: Michael, Angelique, and Matthew. Their children have never seen their parents work for another person. Rather, their children have seen them bless other people by helping them grow their businesses.
