LuLaRoe to pay $4.75 million to resolve state charges over pyramid scheme By Rita R. Robison on February 2, 2021 at 8:43 PM
LuLaRoe will pay $4.75 million to settle a state lawsuit charging that the California-based multi-level marketing business, which sells leggings and other clothing to a network of independent retailers, was operating a pyramid scheme.
In January 2019, the state filed a lawsuit against LuLaRoe and several of its executives, charging that the defendants made misrepresentations about the profitability of being an independent retailer for LuLaRoe.
For example, court documents report one LuLaRoe executive claimed that “so many of our retailers are making amazing money doing this part time” and “a huge number of people” sell $15,000 to $20,000 each month. Later in the same call, she claimed LuLaRoe has “a bunch of people” that can sell up to $150,000 per month.

As they consider creating a waiting period for high-ranking public servants who want to become lobbyists, Washington lawmakers get to watch Olympia’s revolving door spin right before their eyes.
Even as a handful of lawmakers re-upped their longshot bid this month to create a one-year “cooling-off” period, the latest revolving-door example emerged from Gov. Jay Inslee’s office.
Charles Knutson, a senior policy adviser for the governor on economic development, innovation and global affairs, left that position on Dec. 22, according to a spokesperson for Inslee’s office.
Mon, 25 Jan 2021 22:24 UTC Biden totally won The brazen theft of the American 2020 presidential election will go down in history as one of the most notorious and consequential crimes of the Twenty-First Century. While many observers did, indeed, accurately anticipate massive vote fraud by Democrats, I imagine that most of us were still astonished at the breadth and audacity of the criminal conspiracy that stole Trump s undeniable November 3 victory.
Republican poll watchers were banned around the country, and court orders for their return were ignored, even by law enforcement. There were more unbalanced precincts around Detroit than there were balanced ones (meaning their vote counts did not match up). There were almost 200,000 more votes than actual voters in Pennsylvania. Thousands of mail-in ballots were counted without ever being mailed or even before being mailed. We even caught them stuffing ballot counters on film! But nothing was done.
