H manufactures and sells healthy dietary supplements. The company recruits individuals as part-time agents to sell its products to friends and colleagues. These agents are required to buy H's products and to resell them at a small mark-up.
For a fee, H will provide agents with training in persuasive selling techniques. Agents who pass exams at the conclusion of this training can become distributors. Distributors buy bulk quantities of H's products at a discount and can recruit their own sales agents. Those agents can also take training and can recruit agents of their own.
At what stage does H stop being a legitimate business and become a pyramid selling fraud?
