Talk:Amway legs

An interesting thing about these legs, if they're accurate (found much of it on a qblog post) - I'd say legs 2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8 are pretty much all majority N21 these days. Even the top of leg 1 - Bernice Hansen - is N21. Some of 10 (Jake Funk) is there too. --IBOFightback 16:18, 12 November 2007 (CST)

Crown Ambassadors

wow - we've placed some 36 crown ambassadors now! I'm impressed :-) --IBOFightback 13:59, 12 December 2007 (CST)

JaRi?

I'm not convinced these legs are actually downline of JaRi? As mentioned elsewhere. JaRi has an upline, Maaskant, who apparently was still qualifying as a Founders Emerald in 1998. Also reading the FTC v Amway case, it mentions that DeVos and Van Andel as well as owning Amway, have "one of the largest" Amway distributorships - which clearly means there's plenty of Amway outside JaRi. I'm wondering if perhaps JaRi are at the top of leg 1 and the rest are separate Amway legs?--IBOFightback 16:40, 2 January 2008 (CST)

Rich DeVos stated that they had ended up with approximately 6 good legs. As all legs on amwaywiki contain at least one Diamond, I assume that those would be counted as "good" legs. So some of those legs on amwaywiki probably have different upline. Another problem is that the line of sponsorship can be splitted where international sponsoring takes place.

Rich have also repeatedly stated they do not sponsor people (I assume that his saying "The Corporation does not recruit" means "JaRi does not recruit"), so unless they inherited some of their downline's businesses, there is no way for them to have so many Diamond legs...

I think the only way to trace the original LOS is to go deep into the history, search all the Amagrams for Direct Distributor recognitions and find out who the original upline Direct was. Very hard work.--SP75 17:54, 2 January 2008 (CST)
