Responded to a poster elsewhere, thought I would share it here

Yeah, I knew about the dislaimer. I think most of us did. We just never imagined it would change so radically. However even with a disclaimer they made certain guarantees in their sales pitch. Let's just take the 90 day cycle guarantee for one. Now some want to rewrite history by saying "oh, that was just a goal", but I remember the sales copy I saw and it was solid.

Anyway back to the 90 days. As soon as it went to 91 they were in violation of the agreement and anyone should have been able to get a refund. Going to 91 is a flaw in the system. That is not an intentional change to the system. So I don't think that can be covered under the disclaimer. What they have done to the payment plan to "correct" (if you want to call it that) the flaw is a change.

If instead of refunds they had allowed us to redistribute out EPC purchases that might have made some people happy or happier, but they didn't.

As you most certainly realize, each pay plan lends itself to a certain strategy on EPC buying. I think the old plan worked for all of them from 320 down to 10. Since you were going to earn your money back within 90 days 320s were ok. Have more time than capital? Buy a 10. Or any where in between. It was the most flexible. There was something to be said for each way and I bought across the spectrum.

In the new system I just can't see how it makes any "sense" to earn "cents" on a full 320 purchase. Buy 10s and let them mature.

The disturbing part of this is under the old system Kim offered people advice on how to purchase, what would be best for their circumstance. Some might say, "that's just advice" or "it was verbal". But, because he is Kim and the mastermind behind the program he brings a certain air of authority to things he says and should be liable just like a lawyer who gives advice.

From a personal standpoint if they had treated me decently, let me rant in the Ym forum, and given me a refund I wouldn't be here. I wouldn't have my
ymmss sta scam blog that comes up evertime you do a search on google for ymmss sta or ymmss scam.

But, they wanted to do it this way.
