Can we just take a moment to appreciate how mature Fidel is for his age. It’s so rare you would find someone that was THAT sucked into the MLM game, and he just listened, did his research, found out it was bullshit, and changed his life. The man is going places for sure.
Even when I was listening to him try to convince the guy to join he sounded intelligent. Even though he was scamming he seemed like he was motivated which I respect. I’m not surprised that he reacted this way
I’m fairly intelligent, at least according to my school records, and I got sucked into Mary Kay because my best friend was doing it. I got out very soon after, but sometimes even those of us who are supposedly super smart and well spoken and charismatic still fall into these traps because we also need money and enjoy the social aspect of it. But the deeper you get in the more you realize it’s an absolute scam and super cult like and creepy
@@Catglittercrafts I got sucked in because my good friend said it was the best thing ever and made it sound like something that it turned out never to be. I ended up copy and pasting trades from the IM educators and literally lost hundreds from them. I caught them at times saying there wins and losses for the sessions were 4-0 at times when I witnessed them get spiked out and still counted as a win. You don’t make money off trading through IM especially from the educators. None of them are licensed and it’s all about recruiting if you want to see any real money. This is the definition and more of a pyramid scheme, I wish this service and platform be shut down immediately.
You helped me to realize the true nature of IM Academy. I sent it to my “mentor” and mine and his whole team left the next day. Appreciate this whole video and all the work that went into it.
I used to be in IM academy. My mentor said she was retired at 19 but when I needed help trading she was too busy doing uber eats. Make it make sense. All in all I lost 8K and nearly went insane.
Did they send you a video clip about how you gotta act like you’re busy & always on the move. I remember them sending that around the time I had to do a zoom session to recruit people.
I knew Fidel Since HS and used to work with him at the same job, Fidel was actually the one to recruit me on to IM and I joined because Ik Fidel when he Goes into something he gives it 1000%. Fidel was trying his best to help us make money by doing zoom calls with us and everything but I was just not making money so I made the decision to not pay my Monthly fee and after that Fidel Stopped talking to me but that’s WHATS IM makes you do so it’s not his fault, Fidel is a chill dude and if I ever see him again I’m sure we will catch up again no doubt, I’m Glad Fidel woke up and is helping others realize this BS as well. Continue to support fidel in anything he does cause he has good intentions he was just Brainwashed like a lot of us were.
@@nightsphenom7122 that was his point. The MLM system made him become salty and end the relationship with him because he quit out of it and was no longer making him money. That's also why you hear dozens of stories of MLM's ruining family/friend relationships.

Fidel, is a really intelligent guy, you could tell from the first video really. Seeing him learn, say he's wrong and change his mind; this confirms it. I'm genuinely surprised, serious respect to Fidel.
Im academy has had an extremely large amount of students quit college on the fact that they will teach you how to be a millionaire through tradimg. However, the ranks that would lead meetings had a hard time winning trades and would usually end the night with less money than they started with.
I’m 27 an lost a high school friend of over 12 years because I showed her how this is a scam and showed her your videos and she went off on me telling me I am jealous and don’t wanna see her get a bag and blocked me lmfao so sad man so sad
I have full confidence that Marco will single handedly take down IM academy and other pyramid schemes someday in the future. He’s off to a great start so far
I joined the academy 2 days ago. Went to a meeting with a friend and it all sounded good but I'm lookin at these people talkin but dey dont got shit to show. I put in for a refund today after watching your videos I appreciate u saving me from a jail sentence
Go on the same website u applied on it should be at the bottom you have to do it within 7 days of joining the money will hit your account in a few days
So happy that Fidel made it out and lifted the fog around him. Great on you for helping him out Marco! I can only imagine that you’re helping others out without ever hearing their testimony’s.
The "point" of the Handbook is for the Company to "CYA". The Company can say: "we never told you to sit in the Benz, jump off the Yacht, etc." Doesn't matter, it's still a scam. SMH
Marco. I really have no words for what you just did. You literally saved the life’s of so many people and also made mind blowing content on this platform. I want to write a comment but really have nothing to say because you are already doing a perfect job in exposing these awful piramide schemes. Be fking proud man. Respect.
Congratulations. We are preparing a law suit to the SEC and the CFTC. We are working on it. A few educators from the inside are supporting. Other educators have left. We will NOT rest UNTIL this SCAM is shut down. Everyday inspiration: Shutting down IM.
Damnnnn Just got out of a zoom meeting with a friend and team leader talking about MI academy. I was so happy and excited to join but I decided to search about it on utube Came across your page Thank you so much for saving my ass All love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
i’m a part of IM academy rn, i’ve been a part of it for 2 months now and i haven’t made a single dime off it yet. i did however learn a lot about the spiritual side of success. hopefully with more experience in this business i can start making money
@@alexbravo5595 you’re with the wrong team boo. Your team is responsible for teaching you how to use their products and utilize the residual side as well. Ppl calling this bs are people who didn’t have the right support behind them.
The point of the handbook is to protect themselves from legal liability. "Oh, that one specific person in IM that you're referring to wasn't following our training. That is their fault; not ours."
My uplines kept saying we need people's energy to keep us going I asked if we are vampires And I got removed for being "disrespectful" Fortunately, my subscription ended last week and I was trying to resub. I'm so glad I saw this video, although I have lost $325 😞, I'm glad I didn't make another mistake.
So many people I went to school with that I’ve tried to convince them IM is a pyramid. No luck. Major kudos to you for actually changing someone’s mind on it! Huge respect from Scotland 🏴
Been heavily involved with IM for over a year and this I can’t ignore, I’ve had my suspicions and even raised questions when I saw this video amongst ibo chats and how it was almost completely ignored I found a massive community in which there were so many good, ambitious people involved who truly wanted to help people through this company’s leverage. So it’s still massively who you get involved in the business with….
I joined MLM on the note that I want to learn and master trading, but I found out that is all about pyramid scheme, recruiting, zoom calls( talking same thing over and over) monthly fees(losses) which you don’t get while trading. It’s a psychological game, you have to think deeply and research in other to know it’s all scam. I QUIT.
Damn. I respect Fidel so much. It takes serious guts and intelligence to start to do your own research and come to the realization and admit that you were taken advantage of and then make the scary choice to leave. As someone who spent my first 18 years in a cult, I know how hard it is. He's clearly a very smart and incredibly charismatic guy. You could see that even when he was shilling IM. That's amazing that he got out. You did a truly great thing Marco. You are making a difference. Fantastic video as always. Those stadiums full of tens of thousands of people worshiping them are terrifying. And the video of a disabled person being used as a prop makes me angry and sick.
I wish I saw this before I join IM. They brainwashed me into joining and didn’t help me learn a thing. Plus I a lot of money joining them it put me in a big hole. I still be having them call me number after I left and I block all there number. When I sign up I just wanted to invest and not waste all my time trying to recruit. Even body who see and thinking about joining need to know they will lie to you to get you join and it turn out to be nothing like they told
this is genuienly so sad… like i literally wanna cry my eyes out.. not for myself, i know how to tell scams apart… for other lower/middle class folks with big dreams and ambitions getting scammed by these assholes
No fucking way, Fidel Cashtro finally got the fuck out there. Bro, on god, I swear he's destined for greatness and success, but POSITIVE success too. Shoutout Ca$htro
My homeboy made it look good so I joined it for a month. They was like “you’ll make the 250 back in a few days trust me” I didn’t even make 100 dollars in 2 weeks lol. It’s nothing but zoom calls and people trying to flex their wealth saying it’s not a scam
I have to comment on this!! First I wanted to thank Marco for this video, and for exposing the truth. So, I was also a part of the IMarkets Live in the the transition to IM Academy. I joined to learn how to trade the forex market but I was never really taught how to trade, but sure was encouraged to bring people in the Academy. The moment I saw that I was not learning from the videos the Academy has, I unsuscribed. Then I started researching and learning more from free content on UA-cam shout out to "the swag Academy" that just with the free content on the channel, has made me a better forex trader.
I was in the academy a few months ago, I won't lie in the beginning of the first month I got so much support after that it went down hill I just felt like I was wasting money. During that time I was working(still am) they would be annoyed if I was busy and couldn't go to a meeting with them or with the chairman's. There was one guy who was just extremely rude about it and that's when I left.
it sounds like you had a terrible mentor and investment group in general. it’s sad to see because there’s very successful investment groups within IM. sorry that happened to you queen
I have been approached so many times by people invloved in MLMs. It's bizarre. It truly is a cult like mentality, and they get so offended when you don't want any part in their nonsense. It's funny and also kind of sad when people try to get you to join up and I know beyond the shadow of a doubt that I am far more financially stable than this person trying to sell me "the dream". Even when you're approached by someone who "made it". There is no denying that there is a level of sociopathy involved to succeed within an MLM firm, Primerica, NYLife. Anything like that.
The MLMs targeting the Edmonton Area better be fucking terrified. This is key to exposing the top level fraudsters that prey on innocent and hardworking people. I really appreciate the work you do Marco!
I’m in Edmonton, they got me to join. I’m out now. Haven’t used IM in 3 months & I make more money trading on my own then taking their trades. The only good thing about IM is that it got me starting trading. It makes you dependent on them for trades. That’s why I learned it myself and left
These mlms are designed to fail you and only profit the founders and those who got in early its NOT AN ETHICAL business at all. Thank you Marco for making this video
I was a bit skeptical and critical of your first video and didn’t really believe any of the claims you were making mainly due to the fact that I know somebody who is currently a p600 in IM academy and their girlfriend is a p1000 and they are able to live together and afford rent in California all through IM Academy. I was actually really close to joining but I decided to pass and just try out trading myself. After watching this video there is no possible way I would spend money on these scum bags just the fact that buddy was able to make his 7 year old son a chairman baffles me they deserve to be shut down as soon as possible. A cult is a bit of a stretch but these guys are definitely professional con men that need some prison time.
I was sacrificing all my income and energy to become "Chairman" for three years.......THREE YEARS....unemployed.....What do I tell employers and folks who want to work with me? I'm ashamed to say I was in an MLM cult lol. I'm glad I left before this became an absolute clown show and a mess.
It's so crazy how this video came out the night before I was supposed to sign up with someone for IM academy, I guess everything happens for a reason, and definitely saved me from it.
The law of attraction type BS is indescribably awful. “Just be positive and think yourself healthy!” It’s dangerous to push this line, especially when it comes to health; whether it’s physical, mental, or a combination of issues or illnesses. (Seriously, no amount of positive thinking will fix my genes and physical disabilities, or re-wire my brain.) Toxic positivity meets ableism. I’ve actually had a therapist who pushed this thinking a while back, I was young and got a new diagnosis. (I think because ‘The Secret’ was big back then.) Even if my physical illnesses were “all in my head”, permanent ‘positive thinking’ won’t fix mental health issues, or autism spectrum disorder, etc.
Thank you Marco, few are brave enough to put their necks out to expose frauds like these. These MLMs make me sick. Truly predatory and morally sick individuals.
Logic is simple: If you have a stable comfortable income you probably won't risk it in an MLM and you are also more likely to leave, cutting your losses, maybe even inquire into it and raise some alarm bells somewhere. If you are poor you are more likely to be all in and be desperate enough to not think too much before enrolling.
"this little corgi" ... fucking DED. also i think it's soooo cool that you helped someone like Fidel to start thinking for himself and become able to recognize the plethora of red flags and manipulative tactics used within MLM. that's amazing & so happy that the rapport between y'all is so civil and natural now after everything. unrelated, but still relevant: your beard looks so good/clean in this lmao. keep it up! love binging your shit. :)
These toxic people attack me in my dm's just because I'm saying something that is true about them. Shit!! What is wrong with them. They are afraid of my single humble comment. It seems like I will ruin the whole business. But, I will not stop. While they are not shy of telling lies and recruiting people with their shits, and not shy about it, why would I. And I support you. Let's end all these MLM's.
As a young black recent college grad I see so many of my peers who went to school with me falling in the trap. I have my masters and bachelors in accounting and work as a senior financial reporting associate at Prudential. My boyfriend is a market analyst at Bloomberg and my sister is a real estate investment analyst at Prudential. I’m glad I have people like them in my circle because we all laugh and see right through the bullshit. I make sure my friends with no backgrounds in finance don’t fall for the trap because I know the temptation is there with the psychological warfare. Many people went to school and got degrees that they knew wouldn’t lead to lucrative careers and are desperate for money, especially with social media culture and all the fake flexing. It’s disgusting how these people are preying on the weak and only leading them down a path to end up being in worse situations. It’s crazy the stuff I see on the daily on Instagram by my peers it’s so cringe especially because they act like experts in how markets work😭. I’m happy I came across your videos on this because I needed to hear what I’ve been saying from someone else! You spoke all facts and backed it up with receipts. I can’t wait for all this to get shut down, Black people are taking steps backwards with this like let’s make money legally and fairly! We can become rich and break generational curses through things like investing long term in an index fund!
respect to fidel for taking a step back and thinking critically about this. Hes obviously a smart and charismatic guy, im sure hell be very successful in whatever he does in the future.
I truly appreciate this video and wish I saw your first video sooner. I was in this bs “industry” for 2 months, and that was all it took me to realize they are full of crap. My “mentor” stopped talking to me once I left and hasn’t said a word to me ever since. Which only proves that his intentions towards me were never genuine. I felt relieved, RELIEVED, when I left and realized I have so much more potential. I am graduating with a BA in education next month and could not be happier. Great work Marco 🙏🏻
i got invited to a mlm sales event once im glad i went i ruined it by asking why aren't you a pyramid scheme then they got into the numbers with and i point out you need to sign up for at least 25 years before you'd break even without recruitment they didn't have a single person sign up that event
Im so happy for Fidel he seems like such a smart and determined guy and watching the live streams I couldn't tell if he was changing his mind or just going with Marco. It can be such a difficult thing to change your mind and look at something objectively that you have invested time into.
I’m broke but not poor. I got an idea of where I want my life to be. But I’ll admit , sometimes I’m down and I find myself wondering if I’m actually on the right path in life. With that being said- I’m objectively curious on how ‘down bad’ someone would have to be to feel the need to believe these charlatans and their ideations. That subtle tick in your head that you get when something’s not right, I’m just thankful I listened to it all them years.
Personal experience: I joined in October for 2 months almost 3 but I will stop without paying the third months. My team just focused on recruiting and sometimes about trading. The cost is a bit exaggerated for a BASIC knowledge of Forex. What I know for sure is that they try to brainwash you, think if you live your live will not be good, they addict to you the "poor mentality", they say if you don't understand you just don't out much effort on it.
Great video bro. I remember when one of my buddies got into this insurance scam MLM company. I fortunately saw right through this as anything that requires recruitment to make money is usually a con. It's great your exposing these companies for what they truly are so kids these days don't fall for this. Keep up the amazing work. 👏
Love the anti pyramid shirt. Great video marco. Im glad to see Fidel was able to get out, and I'm sure your video was able to reach more involved and help them start their path to leaving these predatory scams.
I literally got sucked into this and went to a event. My mentor literally got mad because I couldn’t pay my second month. I’m 15 y/o and he stopped talking to me after the 1st day I didn’t pay. Please don’t get into this. Please.

I just quit IM this month and I don't regret it. This video confirms my decision.
Who wants to see a Marco/Fidel collab of these two taking down MLM’s?🙋🏻🙋🏽♂️🙋🏼♀️💯💯
✋
I want a tv show about this
That will make for a good youtube series honestly
With coffeezilla
“I was 21 when I got into this industry” … the industry of trading, or scamming?
He goes on to say “I was selling vitamins, energy drinks…”, so the trading platform isn’t the industry.. gotcha
So happy that Fidel made it out and lifted the fog around him. Great on you for helping him out Marco! I can only imagine that you’re helping others out without ever hearing their testimony’s.
The "point" of the Handbook is for the Company to "CYA". The Company can say: "we never told you to sit in the Benz, jump off the Yacht, etc." Doesn't matter, it's still a scam. SMH
Marco. I really have no words for what you just did. You literally saved the life’s of so many people and also made mind blowing content on this platform. I want to write a comment but really have nothing to say because you are already doing a perfect job in exposing these awful piramide schemes. Be fking proud man. Respect.
Congratulations. We are preparing a law suit to the SEC and the CFTC. We are working on it. A few educators from the inside are supporting. Other educators have left. We will NOT rest UNTIL this SCAM is shut down. Everyday inspiration: Shutting down IM.
I was in Fidel team and he was one of the most humble people ,thank god he left
Damnnnn
Just got out of a zoom meeting with a friend and team leader talking about MI academy.
I was so happy and excited to join but I decided to search about it on utube
Came across your page
Thank you so much for saving my ass
All love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Why don't you do a research again to verify if it's as bad as they say it is....
Personally the academy changed my life....
i’m a part of IM academy rn, i’ve been a part of it for 2 months now and i haven’t made a single dime off it yet. i did however learn a lot about the spiritual side of success. hopefully with more experience in this business i can start making money
@@alexbravo5595 you’re with the wrong team boo. Your team is responsible for teaching you how to use their products and utilize the residual side as well. Ppl calling this bs are people who didn’t have the right support behind them.
@@smileykmusic well said CW
@@smileykmusic your victim blaming skills are on point 😍😍
The point of the handbook is to protect themselves from legal liability. "Oh, that one specific person in IM that you're referring to wasn't following our training. That is their fault; not ours."
Faaactsssss
Gaslighting.
My uplines kept saying we need people's energy to keep us going
I asked if we are vampires
And I got removed for being "disrespectful"
Fortunately, my subscription ended last week and I was trying to resub.
I'm so glad I saw this video, although I have lost $325 😞, I'm glad I didn't make another mistake.
“Are we vampires?” - 😂😂 love that
So many people I went to school with that I’ve tried to convince them IM is a pyramid. No luck. Major kudos to you for actually changing someone’s mind on it! Huge respect from Scotland 🏴
For real, 3 friends joined IM, and i swear all their videos were them recording each other hyping up the "conference" room
Fidel and Marco should collab more often. It would be a deadly duo
Fidel is obviously socially savvy and I know he can become successful if he puts his time in something legit. Great work Marco
Been heavily involved with IM for over a year and this I can’t ignore, I’ve had my suspicions and even raised questions when I saw this video amongst ibo chats and how it was almost completely ignored I found a massive community in which there were so many good, ambitious people involved who truly wanted to help people through this company’s leverage. So it’s still massively who you get involved in the business with….
But I got outta there because it’s illegitimacy is clear and the income claims are majorly what the retention is built upon
@@ceesproduced5270 what do you mean
The biggest lie from MLMs is that you are a business owner. You are not. You are a glorified sales rep.
I joined MLM on the note that I want to learn and master trading, but I found out that is all about pyramid scheme, recruiting, zoom calls( talking same thing over and over) monthly fees(losses) which you don’t get while trading. It’s a psychological game, you have to think deeply and research in other to know it’s all scam. I QUIT.
Damn. I respect Fidel so much. It takes serious guts and intelligence to start to do your own research and come to the realization and admit that you were taken advantage of and then make the scary choice to leave. As someone who spent my first 18 years in a cult, I know how hard it is. He's clearly a very smart and incredibly charismatic guy. You could see that even when he was shilling IM. That's amazing that he got out. You did a truly great thing Marco. You are making a difference. Fantastic video as always. Those stadiums full of tens of thousands of people worshiping them are terrifying. And the video of a disabled person being used as a prop makes me angry and sick.
What cult were you a part of?
“This little corgi” “waddling around the arena” 😭😭 thank you for what you do Marco! You saved me from joining WFG!
Bro you deserve so much more popularity ong
Protect this man at all costs. He's exposing these foolish companies! Keep up the good work Marco!
Fidel has the best redemption arc I've seen since Prince Zuko
i got connected to this video, because someone put this link in IM academy, zoom meeting chat.
alright, how do i stop paying the $174.
"If you dont know what the product is, the product is you"
So glad I left. I actually didn’t want this video to end you did great work bro!
SO happy for Fidel. This is one of the greatest comeback stories ever. I hope he creates his own YT channel and collabs with Marco frequently!
I wish I saw this before I join IM. They brainwashed me into joining and didn’t help me learn a thing. Plus I a lot of money joining them it put me in a big hole. I still be having them call me number after I left and I block all there number. When I sign up I just wanted to invest and not waste all my time trying to recruit. Even body who see and thinking about joining need to know they will lie to you to get you join and it turn out to be nothing like they told
YESSSSSSSSS FINALLY THE VIDEO CAME OUT ,I BEEN WAITING FOR IT
this is genuienly so sad… like i literally wanna cry my eyes out.. not for myself, i know how to tell scams apart… for other lower/middle class folks with big dreams and ambitions getting scammed by these assholes
They took the risk, they took a bet, now they are facing the consequences. Gotta be careful out there. Most ppl r just looking out for themselves
No fucking way, Fidel Cashtro finally got the fuck out there. Bro, on god, I swear he's destined for greatness and success, but POSITIVE success too. Shoutout Ca$htro
My homeboy made it look good so I joined it for a month. They was like “you’ll make the 250 back in a few days trust me” I didn’t even make 100 dollars in 2 weeks lol. It’s nothing but zoom calls and people trying to flex their wealth saying it’s not a scam
🎯
They got me with the “trust me for 90 days”
I think Fidel‘s use of the term Psychological Warfare is absolutely correct. I’m sorry that he had to go through all that. He seems like a nice guy.
dude you and Fidel's arc is one for the literature classics. enemies to friends to allies. i LOVE IT
Classic anime arcs
Hearing the man admit he was wrong gave me chills. Great work my friends
I have to comment on this!!
First I wanted to thank Marco for this video, and for exposing the truth.
So, I was also a part of the IMarkets Live in the the transition to IM Academy. I joined to learn how to trade the forex market but I was never really taught how to trade, but sure was encouraged to bring people in the Academy. The moment I saw that I was not learning from the videos the Academy has, I unsuscribed. Then I started researching and learning more from free content on UA-cam shout out to "the swag Academy" that just with the free content on the channel, has made me a better forex trader.
Fidel is awesome. It takes balls to admit your mistakes and actually make changes like this dude did.
I just cancelled my IM Academy subscription today, a extremly good decsision to save my finances
These are the type of vids that will take this channel to +500k subs, good hearts always win
I was in the academy a few months ago, I won't lie in the beginning of the first month I got so much support after that it went down hill I just felt like I was wasting money. During that time I was working(still am) they would be annoyed if I was busy and couldn't go to a meeting with them or with the chairman's. There was one guy who was just extremely rude about it and that's when I left.
it sounds like you had a terrible mentor and investment group in general. it’s sad to see because there’s very successful investment groups within IM. sorry that happened to you queen
@@brit3617 Awww thank you Sis, I'm onto bigger and better things now...even though they still message me to this DAY!!
@@brit3617 are you still a part of it?
Mad respect to Fidel, this guys gonna go far whatever he does.
I have been approached so many times by people invloved in MLMs. It's bizarre. It truly is a cult like mentality, and they get so offended when you don't want any part in their nonsense.
It's funny and also kind of sad when people try to get you to join up and I know beyond the shadow of a doubt that I am far more financially stable than this person trying to sell me "the dream".
Even when you're approached by someone who "made it". There is no denying that there is a level of sociopathy involved to succeed within an MLM firm, Primerica, NYLife. Anything like that.
The MLMs targeting the Edmonton Area better be fucking terrified. This is key to exposing the top level fraudsters that prey on innocent and hardworking people. I really appreciate the work you do Marco!
I’m in Edmonton, they got me to join. I’m out now. Haven’t used IM in 3 months & I make more money trading on my own then taking their trades.
The only good thing about IM is that it got me starting trading.
It makes you dependent on them for trades. That’s why I learned it myself and left
These mlms are designed to fail you and only profit the founders and those who got in early its NOT AN ETHICAL business at all. Thank you Marco for making this video
LEGENDARY VIDEO! THE WORLD MUST SEE THIS
I was a bit skeptical and critical of your first video and didn’t really believe any of the claims you were making mainly due to the fact that I know somebody who is currently a p600 in IM academy and their girlfriend is a p1000 and they are able to live together and afford rent in California all through IM Academy. I was actually really close to joining but I decided to pass and just try out trading myself. After watching this video there is no possible way I would spend money on these scum bags just the fact that buddy was able to make his 7 year old son a chairman baffles me they deserve to be shut down as soon as possible. A cult is a bit of a stretch but these guys are definitely professional con men that need some prison time.
I’m glad Fidel is back on here he is young and he is trying most people try when they are old thank god he is humble I know he is gonna be successful
I was sacrificing all my income and energy to become "Chairman" for three years.......THREE YEARS....unemployed.....What do I tell employers and folks who want to work with me? I'm ashamed to say I was in an MLM cult lol. I'm glad I left before this became an absolute clown show and a mess.
3 years ??? shoulda put that work in😩😩
what doesn't kill you makes you stronger so stay strong
3 years...damn. Thats 3 years into a field for experience.
@@jboogiedtb Or 1 year of different experience from different jobs
Wow 3 years?????? I'm sorry to hear that. God bless
It's so crazy how this video came out the night before I was supposed to sign up with someone for IM academy, I guess everything happens for a reason, and definitely saved me from it.
Why did you even think about joining?
@@spmrs13 to quit my job, and start making money from home
So how do you work from home without IM acedemy?
@@infuriousgamer1505 I don't, I'm just working as a CNA now till I save up enough to start dropshipping
@@i_b0ri what’s your Instagram
They did this at the zoom meeting I was at ...they were singing the frigging song too these jokers lost they damn mind 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Imagine all the 2005 Toyota Camrys in the March madness parking lot
Lmao
The law of attraction type BS is indescribably awful. “Just be positive and think yourself healthy!” It’s dangerous to push this line, especially when it comes to health; whether it’s physical, mental, or a combination of issues or illnesses. (Seriously, no amount of positive thinking will fix my genes and physical disabilities, or re-wire my brain.) Toxic positivity meets ableism.
I’ve actually had a therapist who pushed this thinking a while back, I was young and got a new diagnosis. (I think because ‘The Secret’ was big back then.) Even if my physical illnesses were “all in my head”, permanent ‘positive thinking’ won’t fix mental health issues, or autism spectrum disorder, etc.
so you don’t believe in the laws of the universe or you don’t understand them?
Thank you Marco, few are brave enough to put their necks out to expose frauds like these. These MLMs make me sick. Truly predatory and morally sick individuals.
Finally part 2🔥🔥🔥
Bruh i swear these MLMs targets poor minorities groups.SMH😔
And millennials as they are looking for “financial freedom”
Logic is simple: If you have a stable comfortable income you probably won't risk it in an MLM and you are also more likely to leave, cutting your losses, maybe even inquire into it and raise some alarm bells somewhere. If you are poor you are more likely to be all in and be desperate enough to not think too much before enrolling.
Low iq, easy target
Yes they do . They’re selling a fantasy to these poor kids
WRONG!!! They target everybody - the more the merrier. That's what made it grow into the multi billion dollar farce that it is today.
Everything you say here is so true. They are over here in the C'bean recuiting the day lights out of vulnerable people who dont know any better.
They’re so damn cringe. I can’t wait for this company to get shut tf down 😹 good work yo 👏🏽
When they get shut down and they don’t know how to trade nor do they get Friday paychecks😂😂😂😂 it’s gonna be hilarious
@@nightsphenom7122 whats wrong with mcdonald’s that shit slaps
Unfortunately they will probably join another dubious company
yo he was a robot before, now he became a human again, you can see that clearly in his emotions, thank you marco!!!
"this little corgi" ... fucking DED. also i think it's soooo cool that you helped someone like Fidel to start thinking for himself and become able to recognize the plethora of red flags and manipulative tactics used within MLM. that's amazing & so happy that the rapport between y'all is so civil and natural now after everything.
unrelated, but still relevant: your beard looks so good/clean in this lmao.
keep it up! love binging your shit. :)
These toxic people attack me in my dm's just because I'm saying something that is true about them. Shit!! What is wrong with them. They are afraid of my single humble comment. It seems like I will ruin the whole business. But, I will not stop. While they are not shy of telling lies and recruiting people with their shits, and not shy about it, why would I. And I support you. Let's end all these MLM's.
As a young black recent college grad I see so many of my peers who went to school with me falling in the trap. I have my masters and bachelors in accounting and work as a senior financial reporting associate at Prudential. My boyfriend is a market analyst at Bloomberg and my sister is a real estate investment analyst at Prudential. I’m glad I have people like them in my circle because we all laugh and see right through the bullshit. I make sure my friends with no backgrounds in finance don’t fall for the trap because I know the temptation is there with the psychological warfare. Many people went to school and got degrees that they knew wouldn’t lead to lucrative careers and are desperate for money, especially with social media culture and all the fake flexing. It’s disgusting how these people are preying on the weak and only leading them down a path to end up being in worse situations. It’s crazy the stuff I see on the daily on Instagram by my peers it’s so cringe especially because they act like experts in how markets work😭. I’m happy I came across your videos on this because I needed to hear what I’ve been saying from someone else! You spoke all facts and backed it up with receipts. I can’t wait for all this to get shut down, Black people are taking steps backwards with this like let’s make money legally and fairly! We can become rich and break generational curses through things like investing long term in an index fund!
respect to fidel for taking a step back and thinking critically about this. Hes obviously a smart and charismatic guy, im sure hell be very successful in whatever he does in the future.
I truly appreciate this video and wish I saw your first video sooner.
I was in this bs “industry” for 2 months, and that was all it took me to realize they are full of crap.
My “mentor” stopped talking to me once I left and hasn’t said a word to me ever since.
Which only proves that his intentions towards me were never genuine.
I felt relieved, RELIEVED, when I left and realized I have so much more potential.
I am graduating with a BA in education next month and could not be happier.
Great work Marco 🙏🏻
i got invited to a mlm sales event once im glad i went
i ruined it by asking why aren't you a pyramid scheme
then they got into the numbers with and i point out you need to sign up for at least 25 years before you'd break even without recruitment
they didn't have a single person sign up that event
Im so happy for Fidel he seems like such a smart and determined guy and watching the live streams I couldn't tell if he was changing his mind or just going with Marco. It can be such a difficult thing to change your mind and look at something objectively that you have invested time into.
I am so so so proud of Fidel I am watching this years after it was posted but am in tears! Good for him!
I am so happy for Fidel for leaving IM. I wish nothing but the best for him, I know he’s going to be successful in a real job and business
New addiction unlocked : Always Marco MLM videos
My man Fidel, I respect him so much
I’m broke but not poor. I got an idea of where I want my life to be. But I’ll admit , sometimes I’m down and I find myself wondering if I’m actually on the right path in life. With that being said- I’m objectively curious on how ‘down bad’ someone would have to be to feel the need to believe these charlatans and their ideations. That subtle tick in your head that you get when something’s not right, I’m just thankful I listened to it all them years.
Fidel redemption arc was one of the top 10 moments of the year. Honestly made me really happy to see. :)
Personal experience: I joined in October for 2 months almost 3 but I will stop without paying the third months. My team just focused on recruiting and sometimes about trading. The cost is a bit exaggerated for a BASIC knowledge of Forex. What I know for sure is that they try to brainwash you, think if you live your live will not be good, they addict to you the "poor mentality", they say if you don't understand you just don't out much effort on it.
Congrats to Fidel!!👏👏👏Honestly so happy for him, he's such a great guy
Fidel is going to be very very successful one day. I can’t wait to see an update on his journey
Super dope to see Fidel where he’s at, I really hope he continues to grow for the better 💪🏾💪🏾
Great video bro. I remember when one of my buddies got into this insurance scam MLM company. I fortunately saw right through this as anything that requires recruitment to make money is usually a con. It's great your exposing these companies for what they truly are so kids these days don't fall for this. Keep up the amazing work. 👏
Name of insurance company?
Love the anti pyramid shirt. Great video marco. Im glad to see Fidel was able to get out, and I'm sure your video was able to reach more involved and help them start their path to leaving these predatory scams.
I literally got sucked into this and went to a event. My mentor literally got mad because I couldn’t pay my second month. I’m 15 y/o and he stopped talking to me after the 1st day I didn’t pay. Please don’t get into this. Please.
