Hemptonics USA operates in the CBD MLM niche.
The company is based out of Utah and headed up by CEO, President and majority owner Paul Drockton. Jacob Bowen is cited as a minority owner.
Prior to launching Hemptonic USA, Drockton (right) was a
Rain International
distributor.
According to Drockton’s LinkedIn profile, he’d reached the rank of Diamond Elite. Diamond Elite is the second highest rank within Rain International.
In his Hemptonics USA corporate bio Drockton doesn’t mention Rain International by name, but does state he
opened 40 countries on 4 different continents for his previous company.
In fact, he helped create a downline of over 118,000 distributors that generated over $50,000,000 in Annual Sales Revenue.
I wasn’t able to put together an MLM history for Bowen. As per his Hemptonics USA bio however, it appears he might have been part of Rain International corporate.
Jacob worked with Paul to manage logistics and operations with his previous company.
I’m not exactly sure when Drockton left Rain International, but it appears to have been on bad terms.
Drockton set up the website Utah Voice on or around November 2018. The first article published on the website is titled “UTAH MLM, RAIN INTERNATIONAL, FACING CRIMINAL FRAUD CHARGES?”
I’m not linking to Utah Voice because I don’t believe it’s a credible source. That’s not to say everything on the website is questionable, just that there’s enough that is to warrant suspicion.
For starters Utah Voice claims to perform “investigative journalism”.
Since 2002, our staff have been the first to break stories about corruption, fraud, political corruption, scams and and other issues Utah Values Most.
Utah Voice only went online in 2018. It has nothing to do with Utah beyond slagging off Rain International and the Mormon Church – both of which are based out of Utah.
The website features articles exclusively authored by “Casi Belcka” (Rain International was founded by Byron Belka). Utah Voice’s about section is a Paul Drockton sales pitch.
As a result any legitimate information on Utah Voice is undermined by its deceptive presentation.
According to a January 28th article on BusinessForHome, Drockton is now suing Rain International for $3 million.
Articles on Utah Voice suggest Rain International first sued Drockton in late 2019.
Rain International’s lawsuit (as per Utah Voice) pertains to claims made by Drockton.
Drockton’s lawsuit pertains to defamation, allegedly via libelous claims made on BusinessForHome.
I haven’t seen a copy of either complaint. They’re not available on either BusinessForHome or Utah Voice. Nor do the lawsuits appear on Pacer for me to independently track.
As far as I can tell, the beef between Drockton and Rain International pertains to marketing and sales in Africa.
Something something stolen downlines. Something something alleged racism.
As an outsider, it appears the bad blood is two companies trying to get the upper hand against each other in Afric
