The Amway Win Win Factor

Who saw 48 Hours not too long ago where a man who was a convention planner got murdered in his hotel room? What makes it newworthy is this was the son of the couple who owned the Fountainbleu Hotel in Miami back in its heyday.

Any murder is creepy but the extra creepy factor to this murder is that the convention he was planning was an Amway convention and the murder took place in the hotel room of the New York hotel that Amway was holding the convention.

His wife said when she left the room he was still alive. She had been called downstairs because there was some problem with breakfast.

Now I get to thinking an Amway function that includes breakfast??? Never happened with us that breakfast was included in a Amway conference. The nature of the problem she got called away for was not mentioned on the show. Perhaps the breakfast staff were impressed by the caring attitude those Amway IBO's had towards them and had called the event planner to thank them about how they were being treated. More than likely it was Amway IBO’s who’d called the planner to compliment them about the food. Caviar for breakfast. That’s the thing with Amway IBO's and their their reasoning that they’re not automatiaclly entitled to anything they want just cause they’re in Amway.

The wife is shown on security camera at the dining area hallway. She goes back to the room and the husband is dead and there’s blood everywhere. Her roomcard records the time she returned to the room and the phone call about the breakfast problem is a loose time of approximately when she left the room and she swears she closed the door when she left.

So the cops have a tough issue on their hands. The Amway conference is over that day and 1000 Amway IBO’s are leaving. That’s 1000 witnesses or murder suspects they’ve got to interview and fast.

The even bigger dilemma the cops are facing is that people in Amway are really the good guys so they have to figure out this mess when they’re interviewing 1000 Amway innocent bystanders.

It turns out the wife had her brother in Pennsylvania hire two hit men from Florida do the murder and she was probably in the room watching it happen. It all goes back to greed. She wanted all the money. Not really a good Amway candidate don’t you think!

A financial transaction was traced from her brother to one of the Florida suspects in the amount of $500. I don’t know if $500 was the entire fee or only partial that the cops were able to trace. It also seems a long haul to hire 2 men to travel from Florida to New York to commit the murder especially since the event planners lived in Florida and eventually going home so if you’re going to hire Florida hitmen it makes more sense to commit the murder in that state too.

But the only thing that does make sense is that there were a bunch of caring Amway IBO's staying in the hotel and they’re already there willing to help the cops? They’re good at noticing things. They sure don't need the money. People in Amway are natural talkers who have perfected the art of truth, support and complete. That would help the cops for awhile. Can you just see how the cops are trying to question an IBO and the cop is getting persuaded to sign up with Amway.

Yup the Amway win win factor.

Why didn’t the wife just keep it simple and pay one of the hotel workers to do the deed. IBO's loyalty to truth will have them do just about anything to uphold the law. So don't bother asking them. They also have a good sense of love and devotion of their Amway teachings. If you're not in Amway there is a good chance you are being sucked in by a less reputable MLM company. Possibly even a scam. Don’t think so?
Somewhere in Merchants of Deception the author is talking to a devoted follower of one of the fictional MLM'rs. That guy tells the author he would do anything for his beloved cult leader even kill for him. Lets take another famous cult leader Jim Jones at his Jonestown property in Guyana. He convinces about 1000 cult followers to drink cyanide Kool Aid. We’ll never know how many willingly drank it. Those who didn’t had devoted cult followers who forced it down their throats and others were shot to death. So absolutely cult followers will follow their leader’s demand to murder others. I read a book written by one of Jones lawyers. Him and the other lawyer hid in the jungle while the killing was going on so that’s how they knew what Jones was ordering his followers to do. They heard the loudspeaker announcements, heard the screaming and they heard the gun shots. They stayed in hiding for hours after they heard the last gun shots.

Want a job done? Get a cult leader to order devoted cult followers to do it.

So the wife just needs to approach a cult leader and hand over cash and say get the deed done. But not today because the hotel is full of Amway people. The good guys.

The IBO's in reality were not involved on this one because of the brother and the money trail to the hitmen. But it still happened at an Amway conference.

Yup the Amway win win factor.
