Attila Juhasz, a former top earner with iWowwe, released a video on December 29, 2014, detailing widespread issues within the company. His eighteen-minute report, aimed at his downline, alleged broken promises and significant unpaid commissions, casting doubt on iWowwe's operational integrity.
Juhasz stated that he quit iWowwe three weeks prior, citing personal non-payment of hundreds of thousands of dollars owed to him. He claimed company president Bill Starkey admitted to being broke and unable to pay. This departure marked the end of Juhasz's four-year involvement with the company.
The video highlighted the exodus of numerous other iWowwe leaders, including Rick Everts, who allegedly left because he was not paid commissions earned. Juhasz asserted that Everts' departure prompted hundreds, if not thousands, of other American leaders to leave iWowwe for similar reasons. These included broken promises, unpaid promotions, and a constantly shifting compensation plan.
Other prominent figures mentioned as having left include Scott Johnson, Juhasz's former sponsor, and Cason Miller. These individuals reportedly departed due to the company's persistent unfulfilled promises. Despite these departures and alleged financial troubles, both Juhasz and Everts remained listed on iWowwe's website under "symbols of success" with Global Field Chairman status.
iWowwe's core business model centers on a paid video email service, structured as a multi-level marketing opportunity. Participants recruit others and sell services, earning commissions through this network. The company's reliance on this outdated technology for its MLM structure has been questioned.
The company's financial stability also came under scrutiny. Juhasz's account suggests a severe cash flow problem, with leadership allegedly admitting to an inability to meet commission obligations. This raises concerns about the viability of the business and its ability to compensate its network of distributors.
Attempts to reach iWowwe for comment regarding these allegations were not immediately successful. The company's public-facing materials, including its website, did not reflect the internal turmoil described by Juhasz. The ongoing issues of unpaid commissions and leadership departures suggest significant challenges facing the organization.
