UK government agents have authorized fraud and corruption

Shyam

The 'Amway' Ministry of Truth continues to defraud the public all around the world by steadfastly pretending that the 'Amway' organization, and the (so-called) 'Multilevel Marketing Business Opportunity' which it has offered to the public for more than 50 years, enjoy full government approval all around the world.

In reality, government agencies all around the world have followed the corrupt lead of the de facto American kleptocracy, and simply refused to launch a rigorous criminal enquiry into the entire 'Multilevel Marketing' racket, let alone enforce basic criminal laws which were designed to protect the public by prohibiting all acts of fraud and corruption. In other words, by doing effectively nothing to challenge the authenticity of the pernicious 'MLM' fiction, government law enforcement agents have authorized fraud and corruption. Indeed, it was the Cardinal Richelieu who (in the 17th century) made the axiomatic observation that:

'by passing a law and then failing to enforce it, you authorize the very crime which you would seek to prohibit.'

Today (more than 30 years after the pernicious 'MLM' lie first arrived in the UK and millions UK citizens have bought into itfalsely believing it to enjoy full government approval), two UK government law enforcement agencies are still arguing about whose responsibility it is to investigate and prosecute 'Business Opportunity' fraud. Indeed, some of the face-saving statements recently made to me by low-level agents of the UK Serious Fraud Office and high-level agents of the Companies Investigation Branch of the UK Ministry for Business, could have come straight out of George Orwell's'Nineteen Eighty-Four.'

Personally, I have found it impossible to make direct contact with any legally-qualified agent of the UK SFO. These individuals hide behind an echelon of unqualified Orwellian officials whose job it is to field complaints and enquiries from whistle-blowers and concerned members of the public, and then systematically inform them that, 'in this instance, the SFO cannot take action.' As has previously been explained on this Blog, the UK SFO is a demonstrably-impotent organization which has cost UK tax payers more than £40 millions annually and which has comprised more than 300 qualified and unqualified agents allegedly charged with the investigation and prosecution of complex, nationally, and internationally, based frauds and acts of corruption involving amounts in excess of £1 million. Somewhat surprisingly, the Director of the UK SFO has spent large quantities of UK tax-payers money broadcasting the embarrassing facts that fraud and corruption cost the UK economy at least $30000000000 annually (that's £30 billions or £30 thousands millions), but that, last year, the SFO prosecuted less than 20 cases and only managed to recover around £4 millions for victims. Consequently, it doesn't take a genius to work out that, by boasting that the annual SFO recovery-rate (by value) for the victims of fraud and corruption in the UK has been at least 7.5 thousand times less than their total annual loss-rate (by value), the head of the UK SFO might as well have sent out gilt-edged invitations for foreign-based racketeers to come to the UK, where their chances of being held to account by his impotent agency have been effectively zero.
