I second what you all are saying with respect to MLM. The main product of MLM is "dream to get rich quick". Once the dream is busted with heavy losses broken marriage/relationship and bankruptcy, the whole chain of referers collapse and the top echelons blame the failure on the people rather than the unstable system itself (a system that is not based on sound economical principle - The real supply or demand of goods ) and start acquiring new fresh prospects again and again ( fresh college graduates are especially susceptible to this sort of temptation ).

If you have ever worked in any MNC, you know how important is inventory management, JIT, human resource management, production forecast and stuffs in response to various forms of supply and demand (cyclical, market share related and etc) to minimize the risk of a complete meltdown of the organization. MLM does not deal with those things because in MLM world, everything is UNLIMITED and therefore it's flawed and extremely risky.

The above is just my personal opinion .
