In the Beginning

My husband is a optimist even now. He can sell you anything but only if he believes in it and it's honest. A true believer in the american dream. He has always been interested in new businesses and has ventured into several legitimate multi-level marketing businesses. In the year 2000 a friend "we'll call him Sam" asked him to come and work for a company he had started. My husband declined because it was a busy time in his own career and he wanted to investigate the business fully before making any decisions. Two years later "Sam" came back. He showed my husband where he had put him in his program for $600.00 out of his pocket and the value was then $3,400.00. He gave him a debit card and indeed the money was on it. A year and a half later, we invested as a couple over $40,000 but he still didn't go to work for them.  My husband attended some meetings and met others that were involved. It was extremely complex but there were powerful people backing it all. There was a corporate attorney who spoke at the meetings who said he owned businesses to include a Bank. Another company CEO was there to speak about how "Sams" company had invested in the stock. A trader was there to explain the ventures and bank trades. It was all very impressive. My husband even went to an well known trader and invested in the same stock that "sam's" company had. Everyone my husband spoke to were all paid on time. There were a mix of a number of companies involved. It was so exciting or so we thought.
