0:00.0	Hey, I'm Roberta Blovins, and this is life after M.L.M.
0:11.2	A podcast where we work to end the stigma of failure in an industry designed for you to fail.
0:17.0	I have wanted to do an MLM True Crime episode for a while.
0:28.6	Actually, I tried to do one last October when I was with my old podcast and it didn't work out.
0:34.0	There was a couple things that just didn't happen in time and we weren't able to get it up and so I really
0:39.4	wanted to revisit these stories. This year I was actually able to add one more story in the
0:48.5	lineup that I wanted to that I wanted to share with you guys. So these stories are pretty well known.
0:56.0	Lots of people have covered them.
0:57.6	I am not going to be adding anything new to these stories.
1:01.5	I am not a true crime podcaster or content creator. I am a fan of true crime, but I don't think that being a fan really puts me in the level of other creators who have a better

1:28.2	Not that these cases pertain to multi-level marketing, but the victims of these crimes were part of MLMs.
1:39.0	And so that's the reason that I'm showcasing these particular stories.
1:43.4	There are definitely more stories that involve
1:47.0	multilevel marketing.
1:48.6	And if this is something that you guys enjoy,
1:51.0	then maybe we can talk about other MLM true crime stories and if this
1:59.3	is something and if this episode is something that you guys enjoy, like I am so down to tell other Emm true crime stories in the future, just let me know.
2:08.0	But today it's just me. Hi. And we're going to tell the story of a couple of different tragic horrible cases.
2:18.0	I'm going to go based off of a timeline from oldest case to newest case.
