I feel like the Fidel kid is legitimately a talented sales person and very charismatic if he gets connected to the right company I can definitely see him as being successful
If you haven’t seen the part 2 of this video, Fidel actually got out of the scheme not too long after this because he started looking into the way the scheme works and realize how much of a scam it was. Dunno if he has a new job in the sales industry or anything but yeah he isn’t just a grifter he was legitimately convinced by the company’s lies
I don't know. Someone who will full-throated lie to you about their own personal experiences isn't someone who can make it in any structured legitimate business. I was lucky I started out working for a guy where 1 lie was too many and you were gone. He made it completely clear from before day 1.
@@raymondcaylor6292 the thing with Fidel is just that he never really lied, he was lied to, but he believed it was a genuine legitimate business because of those lies until he got woken up by Marco’s videos
It made me sad asf when he said your grandma dying was a blessing in disguise. My grandma is literally my favorite woman in the world and I would destroy anyone that said something like that to me. This for all the grandmas out there
i just cried my eyes out watching this i lost over 10 thousand dollars, all of my money on im academy about 4 months ago. my best friend recruited me, we instantly feel out after this. i stopped working to dedicate myself to this, now i been looking for job and i’m facing eviction. I’m a college graduate, i feel like this could happen to anyone uninformed during these times.
Bro i can feel u. I am in IM since August 2021 and brooo i can tell you its not a shame if u fall in this trap. I mean u surely remember the vibes of all these groups in the teams and the calls and everytime you had the feeling that you need to change like them. After time i got my oen Vision and goals. I mean this is not bad, but the way this Business is working is crazy. U know why? Because you have to get crazy. I think i will quit but i also have an Emotional bond to my vision since i joined IM. I will search an way out of this 9/5 anyway and help my mom 🥺. Be strong people out there and dont forget to question all things any time
YES IT could happen to anyone. These mlms are commercial cults, they manipulate people into them by manipulation techniques and cult techniques too. It's disgusting in their part and it is NOT your fault the business model of MLM , is set up so 99.7 if people lose money. Share your story so it can help another person !!! And don't blame yourself, it also tends to RUIN relationships even marriages.,. It's gross.
My younger sister is doing IM Academy and it makes me sad hearing her phone calls everyday trying to recruit people with emotional manipulation and half truths. I told her that she is doing a MLM but she just got angry and called me a hater. Hope she wakes up soon.
This mlm is different. Look at the company side of the business for a moment and leave the way of how their sales people advertise, that I also believe and agreed that is bad and cultish, and recruit reps check, audit, evaluate test what their products are, do or serve for.

Thank you for this! You just saved me a ton of money and even more heartache. I was approached today by someone from IM Academy with some of the same tropes you've mentioned in this video. He showed me a live transaction and I was pretty impressed, but because I am an extreme skeptic in just about everything, I told him I needed to do some research. And I'm so glad I did. Most of the information I'm finding out about this company is astoundingly bad. So thank you, again. Please, keep up the good work!
So. I’m actually in IM, and when I told them I’d rather focus on trading rather than MLM they kicked me from all their groups and shunned me out because I was interested in actual trading and not MLM

@@mathmobile4606 it definitely is. Being in a MLM company is not. The way you are typing already told me you are not in portfolio management. Further, if you were in finance, you would not be spending your time copying & pasting the same baseless statement under several comments.
In all fairness if you're gonna name yourself after a world leader it's best to do one that the trolled America relentlessly and forced the CIA to eliminate the president of the United States.
You got to respect his honesty, he is just a young kid who wants more and essentially can start a business with out money, MLM never long term but his hustle is there and he will put that hustle into works on something else
You’re doing the lords work my man. I got suckered into IML about 5 years ago and didn’t realize what a scam it was until about 6 months into it. Keep exposing these crooks!
All these MLM companies really are just "Self Improvement" groups with a product to make it seem like a business. You're doing the lords work here Marco 👌 Road to 1mill while taking down every pyramid scheme 🙏
I can’t believe I got sucked into IM I feel so fucking stupid. I would have never thought I would be scammed into something like this. I am the type of person who over thinks all their decisions and is very careful with them. It’s crazy how I got brainwashed. Everything he talk about in this video is true. When you finally realize what just happened to you it’s extremely not to blame yourself. I can’t thank you enough. Thankfully I found this video only in my first month of being in IM.
I really needed this bro I’ve had this friend that just started getting into this stuff and told me literally that she has no idea about what to do but makes money and says this is the killer of mediocrity. This video hit every point of what I was questioning. Thank you 🙏🏾
This is my first time looking at this video and I can proudly say that everything you’ve stated is 100% accurate. Unfortunately, I fell for the illusion of this company and I wish I made a better decision 6 months ago. I was definitely brainwashed without knowing it and the only way out was from the help of my girlfriend. I wish upon everyone to spread the word of this ongoing problem. I hope everyone makes wise choices and let’s have a successful financial year.
Same he nailed it. I’m so glad I left I was losing a shit ton of money from trading and paying for the products and their rip off monthly membership fees. My “mentors” couldn’t trade for shit. They were only good at being Salesmen trying to recruit people so they can live off innocent peoples commissions. They try so hard to manipulate you into thinking there is nothing else better than IM Academy and they’ll make you look like the villain if you decide to leave. It is a toxic cult (not all of them but most). Their strategy is to recruit people and get them hooked onto their shitty products so they become a “customer for life” I used all their products and they are shit, sure you’ll win a few trades but then lose twice the amount of trades so your back to where you started. Their products don’t work you can’t and won’t be able to grow and compound your account if you just use their products because they are inconsistent. When it comes to trading if you ain’t consistent then good luck trying to grow your trading account
@@raikou25 YES EXACTLY. Their products are so damn inconsistent. I lost all of the money in the account with my broker because i was stuck following their garbage. they throw numbers like “this is shown to work 60%, 70%, 80% of the time” and so on. then i lost money and look stupid
I was about to join this crap until I found your videos, thank God I saw these videos before I decided to make a bad decision. Thank you 🙏🏾 so much for shining light on this dark wicked Bussiness. Much love and respect ✊🏾
I don’t see the appeal of having this rich and fancy looking lifestyle. Even if I was rich I wouldn’t want the world knowing and I surely wouldn’t go around bragging either!
Most people who earned their wealth don't. I think it's more like what people who don't have real wealth, didn't earn it the hard way, or didn't earn it at all.
Funny that you say that. Top leaders in the business are not allowed to show off their cars, chains, and riches really. You see it on their IG pages. Reason being is that big riches image is misleading to many and they don’t want people to join based off that image. People don’t know much really about what they actually offer and only base their opinion off of what they see from the outside.
Literally same, asked the guy for proof and he said he doesn't want to and he shouldn't have too. Then tried making me feel like I was missing out by not joining
I’ve tried to talk my friends out of this shit but they don’t want listen to me, they blocked me because “I don’t know what I’m talking about.” “I’m a hater.”
Trading forex is actually a legit thing tho IF he does it by himself. You can’t really listen to anyone else. You gotta learn that shit on your own, if you pay for other people to teach you, that shits a scam.
@@jettz620 I agree i only spent $100 to then realize I can learn this shid for FREE there's a demo account for free to make mistakes and learn there is the experience lol and babypips website definitely gave me the knowledge I needed to get started. So in short I got the experience from demo trading and knowledge from babypips why pay for a course? Thankful I only wasted $100 and not $500-$2000
Bruh how heartless do you have to be to say “your grandma’s death was a blessing in disguise” Made me lose my appetite by how disgusting that was, he only cared about the “money she left behind”
Came over from CC Suarez’s vid… I appreciate how you focus a lot the actual leaders of the scheme- something I don’t see a lot of other anti-MLMers focus on
Bro, the Floyd Mayweather ad... Right cause he would never endorse anything just for money, he always believes in a product. Sounded about as genuine as when you pay for a tik Tok birthday wish from your favourite celebrity.
Yo Marco, these fools from IM Academy have been popping up here in Mexico and many acquaintances have falled for it, it really pisses me off because they're people my age and when this inevitably goes to shit they're going to see some major money loss.
@@EPHtheChemist you still need to wake up and work XD And you put your money in the market, it's not guaranteed earning but is legit. The problem is the type of business behind the academy which is a pyramid scheme.
I joined an I’m academy group called MxM a couple months ago. And everything he’s said is 100% spot on. All the brainwashing, daily “conference calls”. Where they literally tell you the big money comes from recruiting. They make you believe it’ll happen for you and even “help” you by placing other members under you to be able to reach a rank faster but there are leg rules so even if you have certain amount of people recruited they won’t count unless you teach your recruits how to recruit. It’s a vicious cycle trying to win and they tell you all that stuff and shame you for trying to give up. Lost a bit of money but got out of it quickly as soon as I realized what was going on. Really loved the video and how well you explained it so now when someone ask me why I left I’ll just show them this vid ‼️
My friend talked me into going to one of their stupid presentations! At some random person's house LMAO! There was ppl coming home and everything it was so awkward! And them they have this fraud dude I'll up in an i8 BMW ($200k) and we're supposed to think he's the big shot. Shows off some bitcoin in his Binance wallet! lol what a joke!

@@mathmobile4606 Sure bud. Sure. If IM Academy was legit, they would be recruiting Engineers, Scientists, Economists, and maybe even Philosophers. Instead, they recruit impressionable, uneducated kids. What do uneducated teenagers and 20-somethings know about international market behavior that market researchers do not know?
@@philsburydoboy no, even younger. My friends who are 17+ are wrapped up in it. This video failed to show how much our (my) friends are getting too wrapped up into this.
What makes this so much worse is some believe that it is a scam but it’s too late. They put so much work in that they feel like going back is pointless. They can’t find an alternative that will fulfill them the same way it’s sinister and sick because once u get in your head making big money little money to people of our age doesn’t satisfy us it sucks that this happens
25:14 I was actually at this conference live when I was like 18. It was a Vemma conference in San Diego & Bob Proctor was the keynote. Shook his hand after, softest hands I've ever felt in my life lmaa
Ok you know what’s interesting? I think Floyd may weather is actually sponsored by lots of MLMs. I was actually brought to a Japanese MLM meeting where they showed me a picture of Floyd Mayweather meeting the CEO of the mlm company. Yeah I can’t believe I ended up in a Japanese MLM meeting either.
@@kaisolomon5187 I didn’t get into one but this girl I met at a bar was like “I need you to check out this thing with me then afterwards let’s have dinner” so I was like aight. So I proceed to get dragged into an mlm meeting for an hour as they ask me “what is your opinion of mlm?”. I wa straight up like “they are bad.” On the bright side, the girl paid for all my food and drinks at dinner so can’t complain. In the end I obviously didn’t decide to pay the $3000 starting fee.
Please God protect this man, liked and subscribed I’m so glad I found this. Someone was recruiting me for primerica and I guess UA-cam overheard and I saw your primerica video. Lifesaver, thank you.
Yoooo Marco you're a fucking legend bro. I live in Edmonton and literally a girl from my high school refollowed me on Instagram a few days ago, and I discovered she's totally brainwashed by IM academy.
This video shines so much light on unspoken things factors manipulating financial education, there were portions that talked more about toxicity of social media influencers, I’d love to see a video talking about that specifically
You have to do one on Monat. The amount of girls I see on Instagram promoting their "biz" while "working" from the pool selling 100$ hair products is ridiculous lol
Nobody ripped them apart like u did, would have given it 1000000 likes so much i like it and its obvious how much work and effort u put in reseaarching the history of im and the peoplr behind
I was apart of Vemma when I was in high school, you are definitely right about it ruining your relationships with your friends and family, and when it was over it ruined your overall reputation . I always loved Alex Morton and the other Vemma leaders for introducing me to entrepreneurship but you have a strong point, it was never your business and you had no control besides how you invite people to the events. MLM definitely ruined my life and made me rebellious to not only college but the people around me. I look at "Fidel Cashtro" and all I can do is shake my head , They are literally still saying all the same shit and I can see right through him, he definitely does not make that kind of money. I came to this video with some skepticism because I was so brainwashed and nobody could tell me anything on the subject of MLM but you have opened my eyes and I agree with you. I do Still believe in the idea Ask, Believe, Receive and the power of the brain/mind as Its also written in the Bible and have seen evidence from my personal experience. Thank you
This video really makes me think signing up people to use a company’s service and products isn’t quite entrepreneurship. You don’t have control over anything and the business isn’t yours or your products. You’re being paid and compensated for bringing in new customers (generating business for the company).
Bruh, this dude I know is SO CONFIDENT that it’s not a pyramid scheme 🤦🏽♀️ when I try to tell him, it turns into a debate. Lets wish him the best of luck yall 😭
I was like that, my advice is to let the person realize it. Like it’s so convincing all because of the meeting & the go live. The go live is probably the reason the person doesn’t wanna leave because some of the investors really are helpful (sometimes) plus you getting money from just copying trade
They do it good, I mean u can make money with the "products" but it's not like some hidden knowledge. Besides that they use religion & peoples compassion to their gain. Once they literally started talking bout being a "servant" to the company in the meetings I couldn't do it. Even if u want to share an opportunity you don't do it with MLM, just ask like minded friends to study FX with you instead of trying to "recruit" them.
Girl I tried to convince my sis in law that it's a pyramid scheme she literally blocked me on instagram and said that I'm a pessimist and always talk negative 😭😭😭 that was literally 3 years ago she still hates me for that lmao

Yes its true..I was apart of it and knew him. But I left once I knew the truth about everything. Even though we don't speak no more, I did respect him he had heart...just as me..But in the wrong place
I like how he wasn't geniunely concerned about your grandma dying and immediately kept on with his scam.

Absolute legend for this video, Marco - looking forward to seeing this channel blow 🙏
These people are scumbags 🤮
Make more videos!
Thank you for this! You just saved me a ton of money and even more heartache. I was approached today by someone from IM Academy with some of the same tropes you've mentioned in this video. He showed me a live transaction and I was pretty impressed, but because I am an extreme skeptic in just about everything, I told him I needed to do some research. And I'm so glad I did. Most of the information I'm finding out about this company is astoundingly bad. So thank you, again. Please, keep up the good work!
missed opportunity this guy could have called himself "fidel cashflow"
yeah yours is better
That’s pretty good
the term cashflow is a bit too advance for his finance knowledge.
Yeah, I like that better.
Similar to what Ali Yalaz said here: he doesn't know what cashflow is!
When I heard the Warren Buffett and Black China comparisons, I just burst out laughing😂😂. Great work Marco, this is your best video yet!
"I'm sorry about you're grandma dying but like that's a blessing in disguise" Ayo what
Not all heroes wear capes man. You’ve just gained a new sub, this channel is a lifesaver.
So. I’m actually in IM, and when I told them I’d rather focus on trading rather than MLM they kicked me from all their groups and shunned me out because I was interested in actual trading and not MLM
Sad smh . this is what ruins the company
This mlm is different. Look at the company side of the business for a moment and leave the way of how their sales people advertise, that I also believe and agreed that is bad and cultish, and recruit reps check, audit, evaluate test what their products are, do or serve for. At some point, with all the dilema behind mlm, Im Academy will quit the mlm marketing and reward structure to do regular advertising to them become one of the best trading education, tools, and stream platform ever built about trading.

You’re doing the lords work my man. I got suckered into IML about 5 years ago and didn’t realize what a scam it was until about 6 months into it. Keep exposing these crooks!
All these MLM companies really are just "Self Improvement" groups with a product to make it seem like a business. You're doing the lords work here Marco 👌 Road to 1mill while taking down every pyramid scheme 🙏
I can’t believe I got sucked into IM I feel so fucking stupid. I would have never thought I would be scammed into something like this. I am the type of person who over thinks all their decisions and is very careful with them. It’s crazy how I got brainwashed. Everything he talk about in this video is true. When you finally realize what just happened to you it’s extremely not to blame yourself. I can’t thank you enough. Thankfully I found this video only in my first month of being in IM.
Same I’m glad I left too
At least you are awake now and left. Good for u
Same man
did you end up learning how to trade while you were on it ?
I am the SAME exact way man. Feeling real silly right now.
Mad surprised they didn't pick up on the sarcasm in your voice 😂. Great as always dude!
I really needed this bro I’ve had this friend that just started getting into this stuff and told me literally that she has no idea about what to do but makes money and says this is the killer of mediocrity. This video hit every point of what I was questioning. Thank you 🙏🏾
“When you say retired do you mean you quit your job or do you mean you retired and took out your pension?” literally lol’d at this
These scammers don't even know what retired means.
This is my first time looking at this video and I can proudly say that everything you’ve stated is 100% accurate. Unfortunately, I fell for the illusion of this company and I wish I made a better decision 6 months ago. I was definitely brainwashed without knowing it and the only way out was from the help of my girlfriend. I wish upon everyone to spread the word of this ongoing problem. I hope everyone makes wise choices and let’s have a successful financial year.
Same bro
Same he nailed it. I’m so glad I left I was losing a shit ton of money from trading and paying for the products and their rip off monthly membership fees. My “mentors” couldn’t trade for shit. They were only good at being Salesmen trying to recruit people so they can live off innocent peoples commissions. They try so hard to manipulate you into thinking there is nothing else better than IM Academy and they’ll make you look like the villain if you decide to leave. It is a toxic cult (not all of them but most). Their strategy is to recruit people and get them hooked onto their shitty products so they become a “customer for life” I used all their products and they are shit, sure you’ll win a few trades but then lose twice the amount of trades so your back to where you started. Their products don’t work you can’t and won’t be able to grow and compound your account if you just use their products because they are inconsistent. When it comes to trading if you ain’t consistent then good luck trying to grow your trading account
@@raikou25 YES EXACTLY. Their products are so damn inconsistent. I lost all of the money in the account with my broker because i was stuck following their garbage. they throw numbers like “this is shown to work 60%, 70%, 80% of the time” and so on. then i lost money and look stupid

I don’t see the appeal of having this rich and fancy looking lifestyle. Even if I was rich I wouldn’t want the world knowing and I surely wouldn’t go around bragging either!
My kinda people right here!! So much yes
Most people who earned their wealth don't. I think it's more like what people who don't have real wealth, didn't earn it the hard way, or didn't earn it at all.
Funny that you say that. Top leaders in the business are not allowed to show off their cars, chains, and riches really. You see it on their IG pages. Reason being is that big riches image is misleading to many and they don’t want people to join based off that image. People don’t know much really about what they actually offer and only base their opinion off of what they see from the outside.

I joined an I’m academy group called MxM a couple months ago. And everything he’s said is 100% spot on. All the brainwashing, daily “conference calls”. Where they literally tell you the big money comes from recruiting. They make you believe it’ll happen for you and even “help” you by placing other members under you to be able to reach a rank faster but there are leg rules so even if you have certain amount of people recruited they won’t count unless you teach your recruits how to recruit. It’s a vicious cycle trying to win and they tell you all that stuff and shame you for trying to give up. Lost a bit of money but got out of it quickly as soon as I realized what was going on. Really loved the video and how well you explained it so now when someone ask me why I left I’ll just show them this vid ‼️
It’s cool man, I was in for 4 months and I’m just now getting out

If IM Academy was legit, they would be recruiting Engineers, Scientists, Economists, and maybe even Philosophers. Instead, they recruit impressionable, uneducated kids.

@@philsburydoboy no, even younger. My friends who are 17+ are wrapped up in it. This video failed to show how much our (my) friends are getting too wrapped up into this.
What makes this so much worse is some believe that it is a scam but it’s too late. They put so much work in that they feel like going back is pointless. They can’t find an alternative that will fulfill them the same way it’s sinister and sick because once u get in your head making big money little money to people of our age doesn’t satisfy us it sucks that this happens

Yoooo Marco you're a fucking legend bro. I live in Edmonton and literally a girl from my high school refollowed me on Instagram a few days ago, and I discovered she's totally brainwashed by IM academy.
This video shines so much light on unspoken things factors manipulating financial education, there were portions that talked more about toxicity of social media influencers, I’d love to see a video talking about that specifically
You have to do one on Monat. The amount of girls I see on Instagram promoting their "biz" while "working" from the pool selling 100$ hair products is ridiculous lol
YES, it’s insane! It’s the exact same thing!

just joined im academy 2 weeks ago....just pulled out after watching your video. thanks! subscribed .
Never clicked so fast; I’ve been onto these guys for months now. See too many on my IG gotta stomp em out
I was apart of Vemma when I was in high school, you are definitely right about it ruining your relationships with your friends and family, and when it was over it ruined your overall reputation . I always loved Alex Morton and the other Vemma leaders for introducing me to entrepreneurship but you have a strong point, it was never your business and you had no control besides how you invite people to the events. MLM definitely ruined my life and made me rebellious to not only college but the people around me. I look at "Fidel Cashtro" and all I can do is shake my head , They are literally still saying all the same shit and I can see right through him, he definitely does not make that kind of money. I came to this video with some skepticism because I was so brainwashed and nobody could tell me anything on the subject of MLM but you have opened my eyes and I agree with you. I do Still believe in the idea Ask, Believe, Receive and the power of the brain/mind as Its also written in the Bible and have seen evidence from my personal experience. Thank you
This video really makes me think signing up people to use a company’s service and products isn’t quite entrepreneurship. You don’t have control over anything and the business isn’t yours or your products. You’re being paid and compensated for bringing in new customers (generating business for the company).
Ohh my gosh at 4:37 you finally said what a lot of these people need to hear.
Bruh, this dude I know is SO CONFIDENT that it’s not a pyramid scheme 🤦🏽♀️ when I try to tell him, it turns into a debate. Lets wish him the best of luck yall 😭
the fool gone learn sooner or later
He left IML y’all
I was like that, my advice is to let the person realize it. Like it’s so convincing all because of the meeting & the go live. The go live is probably the reason the person doesn’t wanna leave because some of the investors really are helpful (sometimes) plus you getting money from just copying trade
They do it good, I mean u can make money with the "products" but it's not like some hidden knowledge. Besides that they use religion & peoples compassion to their gain. Once they literally started talking bout being a "servant" to the company in the meetings I couldn't do it. Even if u want to share an opportunity you don't do it with MLM, just ask like minded friends to study FX with you instead of trying to "recruit" them.
Girl I tried to convince my sis in law that it's a pyramid scheme she literally blocked me on instagram and said that I'm a pessimist and always talk negative 😭😭😭 that was literally 3 years ago she still hates me for that lmao
