Nothing MLM associated, at the very least exterior of the company aspect of issues, seems on Dot Dot Smile’s submitting.
A BerhindMLM reader claimed, as of July thirty first, 2022, that
Nobody has been paid since might. Some persons are owed 1000’s of {dollars}. They laid off all of their employees.
The cynic in me is having a tough time seeing Dot Dot Smile’s chapter as something however deliberate.
Firm homeowners Nicole and Jeff Thompson (proper) probably knew chapter was coming, and figured they needed to eliminate the MLM enterprise earlier than submitting.
There was most likely no precise intent to ever proceed Dot Dot Smile with out the MLM alternative.
I could possibly be fallacious however Dot Dot Smile hastily discovering itself $5.6 million in debt over the previous three months doesn’t appear believable.
I’m unsure how this all works out legally. Even when all the pieces is above-board although, it nonetheless displays poorly on the Thompsons with respect to transparency and Dot Dot Smile’s distributors.
Trying ahead, Dot Dot Smile’s State of Monetary affairs submitting is due on September nineteenth. A gathering of collectors has been scheduled for October twelfth.
Dot Dot Smile is tied to LuLaRoe by the use of Nicole Thompson being the daughter of co-founders DeAnne and Mark Stidham.
Whether or not Dot Dot Smile submitting for chapter has had or may have any influence on LuLaRoe’s enterprise operations is unclear.
