He was in early on the pyramid so he's just got to keep selling it as if all the next people are gonna be super rich so that the pyramid scheme keeps going.

I mean I get it. It was super successful and made so much fucking money for whales and people who did Tupperware parties real early but they are so committed to the idea now.

Who knew you could get a bunch of men to happily sell MLM products though as long as you used a bunch of tech jargon and made it seem like you are smart for getting it. I mean I guess anyone that knows men right?

That is all what the shilling is for, really.

They only make money if they can find bigger fools to buy into their pyramid scheme. So they will use anything to try and convince people. Even if it means to lie and cheat.
