Exposing LTD's Nationwide Money Laundering System

For years, LTD-(Leadership Team Development) has operated a shadow financial structure built on Deception, undisclosed revenue, & systemic concealment. This financial structure is Money Laundering. On the surface, LTD presents itself as a training organization that "supports" Amway Independent Business Owners. But behind the curtain, High Level Amway Reps that are in LTD have engineered a system that fits all three stages of classic Money Laundering: Placement, Layering, & Integration. 

This is not an exaggeration. When LTD ticket revenue is obtained illegally, disguised as something it's not, hidden from the state, and then redistributed as clean income; that is Money Laundering. 

The LTD BSM-(Business Support Materials) Compensation Contract

LTD hosts meetings-(LTD Events) accross the U.S. These meetings include weekly meetings-(called The Info Session), monthly meetings-(called Team Meeting), & quarterly conferences-(conferences that take place four times a year). Despite what LTD members are told, admission fees to attend LTD Events-(Weekly Info Sessions, Monthly Team Meetings, Quarterly Conferences) ARE NOT SOLEY FOR RENTAL COSTS. Every member in LTD is pitched a lie about how admission fees for LTD Events are only used to help rent out a conference room, arena, & stadium. 

The truth is admission fees for LTD events is partially used towards renting out a conference room, arena, & stadium. However, a majority of money is left over, and that is split with the higher ups that are in LTD. THE REVEUNE GENERATED FROM LTD Events is a SOURCE OF INCOME FOR HIGHER UPS THAT ARE IN LTD. It's explicitly stated within the LTD BSM Compensation Contract that LTD sets the ticket prices for admission fees, and LTD higher ups recieve a stream of income from LTD Events. 

1. Placement - Illegally Obtaining The Money

Higher ups that are in LTD earn LTD Event ticket reveune without ever disclosing to attendees that the money goes into their pockets. Attendees are told these fees are simply to "cover the room" or "cover rent" when in reality the LTD ticket price contains hidden profit for higher ups that are in LTD. 

Because LTD members/attendees are misled about where the momey is going, the LTD ticket reveune is ILLEGALLY OBTAINED making it criminal for step one.

Through doing this, Leadership Team Development is  committing TWO FEDERAL FELONY OFFENSES. LTD obtains LTD Event ticket money through lies about where the money goes. Attendees are told their fees "cover the room" or "cover rental costs, when higher ups that are in LTD secretly profit from those same LTD tickets. Taking someone's money after giving them false information about the purpose of the payment is a FELONY CALLED THEFT BY DECEPTION. In addition, running LTD Events while hiding the true LTD revenue structure is a FELONY CALLED DECEPTIVE BUSINESS PRACTICE because consumers-(AKA LTD members/attendees) are denied the truth they legally need to make an informed purchase. 

2. Layering - Disguising The Origin Through Sales-Tax Evasion

This is the heart of the system. 

LTD hides the illegally origin of LTD ticket revenue by disguising it as "rental costs" event through: 

  • Admission fees are taxable in every state
  • Rental Reimbursement/Rental Cost is not taxable 
  • Calling  LTD tickets "rental fee" tricks the states where LTD holds their events

By mislabeling LTD admission revenue as rent, LTD avoids charging and remitting sales tax, which is required for every LTD quaertly conference, monthly team meeting, and weekly Info session ticketed event in all 50 states. This makes LTD guilty of State Level Tax Evasion nationally. LTD is funneling dirty cash-(LTD Event ticket revenue that is earned illegally) by funneling it through false business categories. 

This is easily proven from every LTD recipt towards LTD Events. Every LTD recipt towards LTD Events has no State Sales Tax Charge. Attendees are not charged States Sales Tax. This robs the states where LTD places their events from the taxes they are owed by law.

3. Integration - Redistributing The Money as 'Clean' Income 

After hiding how the money was obtained and avoiding sales tax, higher ups that are in LTD distribute the LTD ticket reveune to themselves as clean income. It now looks like legitimate/legal profit; even though the money was:

  • Earned through deception
  • Hidden through mislabeling 
  • Shielded from tax authorities 

 

This completes all three steps of Money Laundering. 

Why This Matters

LTD's structure isn't an accounting mistake. It's a Nationwide Money Laundering System built on: 

  • Misleading event attendees 
  • Concealing LTD Event revenue origin
  • Avoiding sales tax requirements
  • Redistributing disguised LTD Event income at the top

Every state where LTD runs events loses tax revenue. Every attendee pays into a scheme they don't know exists; & every High Level Amway Rank in LTD benefits from a system designed to stay hidden.  

This is not the victimless practice. It's organized financial deception.
