Hey, I'm Robert Blovins, and this is Life After Emile, a podcast where we worked and the stigma

of failure in an industry systemically designed for you to fail.

Join us as we dive into the real life stories of survivors, experts, and advocates,

as we debug the common myths and fallacies of cults, frauds, scams, and multi-level marketing. Oh, Oh, the the Hey on Bons and Humbros, it's been another week and I have another episode for you.

Now I know I've mentioned on social media and on the podcast about

diving into Amway a bit more and we're starting that conversation today with

an Amway episode. I know that these are fan favorites and I do not think

that this episode is going to be any exception. I do want to let you know though

before we get into it Darren does share stories about things that

happened in his upline and there are mentions of suicide and abuse. We don't go into any details but it is, so I just wanted to let you guys know that.

Secondly, not only do we talk about Amway, but we also talk about scamming and scambaters, and we talk about crypto. And if you have not yet seen my video of me

reacting to somebody else's video about the pastor who literally blames God for the crypto scam he created failing in him getting in trouble,

it is just wonderful. I have linked that in the show notes as well. It is on both Instagram and

Tik-Tok if you are interested. But yeah, like a dude literally blamed God

for his crypto scam failing. He said that God had told them to leave their

marketing business which I don't know it could have been a multi-level marketing

business I have no idea, but to leave their

marketing business and to go into crypto.

And he said that every time they made some money they would tithe and sew and continue and they said they

just thought that God would always provide until they stole to the tune of 11.3 million, which this guy says he used to pay the taxes on the scam

and to renovate his house because God told him to.

So just like so much faith manipulation
