eli5 How do multi-million dollar pyramid schemes stay around for so long?

2.69K viewsEconomicsOther

The company’s that everyone knows are MLM trash (HerbaLife, JuicePlus, ect). When I was looking for a job I naively joined a seminar discussing CutCo Knives. Come to find out these dud muffin companies have been around since my mom was growing up, and are somehow still operational? Wouldn’t the BBB or whatever business bureau operates in the US (FTC?) have these scams shut down by now? I understand that new ones are popping up all the time but im referring to the ones that have been around forever now.

BBB is really a scam itself. Allows individuals to file complaints against a company. BBB then offers to remove the complaint if the company pays a fee.
