Scam and MLM Absurdities: Why do Scams and MLMs do "Same Wine, New Bottle"?

Looking at history of network marketing, and scams and an interesting pattern emerged.

Most people who start network marketing companies were former grunts in network marketing... And sometimes, these alleged network marketing companies turned out to be outright scams.

First, let's get the more legitimate (compared to the scams) folks listed...

• Cambridge Diet top distributor Sandra Tillotson went on to co-start NuSkin
• Natural Health Trend's high-ranker Terry LaCore went on to start bHIP (and later, Rippln)
• Herbalife member Roger Daley went on to start Omnitrition International

• Andy Bowdoin was a member of 12DailyPro ponzi, who went on to start AdSurfDaily ponzi. 
• Paul Burks, head of Zeek Rewards ponzi, was formerly of Amway, and founded various MLMs, none of which were very successful, until the Zeek ponzi. 
• Sann Rodrigues of TelexFree ponzi (mostly in Brazil), changed his surname to get away from a 2006 SEC judgement where he was charged of operating a pyramid scheme called FoneClub

There are probably tons of other examples that implies once you got into network marketing or scam, you can't do anything else.

And they basically reinvent the business they were in. And often, it's not even a revamp, but just a rename.

Same wine, new bottle.

It's sad when a scam just change names, and hopes to keep operating.
