In late 2015 former affiliate Dennis Gray filed a class-action RICO lawsuit against Talk Fusion.

In his lawsuit Gray alleged he had been

deceived by the Talk Fusion’s misleading business opportunity, falsely believing it was a legitimate way to earn money, and did lose money as a result of Defendants’ unfair and unlawful business practices.

Gray (right) alleged those “unlawful business practices” are the operation of ‘
a pyramid scheme disguised as a multi-level marketing (“MLM”) company
‘.

The case played out and in August, 2016, was dismissed for lack of jurisdiction in California and transferred to Florida.

There the case continued for almost another year, before it was dismissed again on July 25th, 2017.

As per the Florida case docket;

on September 13th Talk Fusion and defendants filed a motion to compel arbitration and stay proceedings

on October 3rd Gray filed an opposition to the arbitration/stay motion

The next entry on the docket is dated 7th April, 2017. Between October, 2016 and April, 2017, things get 
incredibly 
murky.

On April 7th, 2017, Talk Fusion and Robert Reina filed a motion to dismiss for lack of case or controversy.

In that motion they reveal

On February 6, 2017, without prior notice to Talk Fusion, Gray voluntarily decided to rejoin Talk Fusion as an Associate using Talk Fusion’s standard internet protocol.

He agreed (again) to be bound by the terms of Talk Fusion’s “Associate Agreement.”

Since then he has been active and successful in marketing and selling Talk Fusion products and is earning commissions paid by Talk Fusion.

He has requested and received personalized product training by Talk Fusion and is actively hosting “webinars” promoting Talk Fusion and its products.

While I can accept Gray didn’t inform Talk Fusion or Reina he was going to sign up again prior to doing it, are we expected to believe there was 
absolutely no
communication between Gray and Talk Fusion prior to his re-signing up as an affiliate?

To put Gray’s decision to sign up as a Talk Fusion affiliate again into perspective, it’s important to note that Talk Fusion’s MLM offering is largely unchanged since 2015.

Back in 2015 Gray alleged

The majority of Talk Fusion’s products are individually available for free (or at much lower monthly rates than Talk Fusion) on the Internet, through commonplace programs such as Skype, YouTube, and Google.

Additionally, nationally-recognized, long-standing brands such as Adobe, Webex, Centrix, and Cisco offer a product similar to Talk Fusion’s–without the $250, $750, and $1,450 signup fees.

The supposed path to financial prosperity through the Talk Fusion Opportunity is not based on selling videoconferencing technology.

Because Talk Fusion’s prices and signup fees are extraordinarily high, retail sales are not feasibly profitable.

With little-to-no name recognition, Talk Fusion Associates’ jobs are made even more difficult in their attempt to earn meaningful sales commissions.
