UK suit against Amway goes to trial (to try and close them down there altogether)

[rooboy]

ADA TOWNSHIP -- Amway Corp. is headed for a trial in the United Kingdom that, if it loses, could result in a death sentence for its multilevel sales business there.

United Kingdom regulators have told the company they will go to trial Nov. 26 in a case against Amway and a large group of its distributors over its business practices. The company expects the trial to last through December.

In a letter distributed to Amway leadership Friday, top Alticor executives Doug DeVos and Steve Van Andel said self-imposed reform efforts weren't enough to convince the government to back off attempts to kick the business out of the country.

2. Oh yeah - they're run by tongues-speaking Dominionists

The powers behind AmWay (and Quixtar, a company put into being specifically to avoid the stigma earned by the AmWay name) are the Devos family. Incidentally, Erik Prince of Blackwater infamy is the brother of Betsy Devos, wife of Dick Devos.

Scary folks...
