A lawsuit filed against Clayton Sampson, aka Clay Sampson, has revealed behind-the-scenes fraud at EnvyTV.
EnvyTV
was a pirated content streaming MLM company Sampson launched in 2019.
In November 2020 husband-and-wife Plaintiffs Mary Jane Beauregard and John Hugh Smith, filed suit against defendants:
Clayton Sampson
Elisha Sampson
Envy TV and
Envy Solutions
Citing Clayton and Elisha (right) as “majority owners and co-managers of EnvyTV, Beauregard and Smith allege they were duped into investing in EnvyTV.
In December 2018, the Sampsons were seeking investors in EnvyTV.
The Sampsons knew the Plaintiffs through a mutual acquaintance, Eddie Freeman, and due to their parties’ involvement in another network marketing company.
Freeman (right) was cited as an EnvyTV co-founder on the company’s website at launch.
The Sampsons promised and represented to Plaintiffs that if they invested $100,000, in exchange they and Mr. Freeman would receive a 2% interest in EnvyTV plus advanced “master” Affiliate positions in the EnvyTV Affiliate multilevel hierarchy.
Breaking down the legal speak, the Sampsons were selling a top position in EnvyTV’s compensation for $100,000.

This would ensure that Plaintiffs financially benefited from the sales of other EnvyTV Affiliates as the EnvyTV Affiliate grew began to grow [sic].
Beauregard and Smith claim they were “instrumental” in “building” EnvyTV. Corey Sampson however didn’t see it that way.
Several months following Plaintiffs’ investment in EnvyTV, Defendant Clayton Sampson became unhappy with Plaintiffs because he did not think they were enrolling enough new Affiliates into the EnvyTV multi-level program.
Due to Defendant Clayton Sampsons’ belief … Clayton and Elisha Sampson began manipulating the EnvyTV compensation plan and moving the Plaintiffs’ master Affiliate positions to reduce the commissions paid to Plaintiffs.
As a result, the commissions paid to Plaintiffs were far less than what they were entitled to receive from the master positions they acquired in connection with their $100,000 payment to the Sampson Defendants.
Beauregard and Smith claim their EnvyTV commissions ceased entirely in “early March 2020 … without any prior written notice or communication”.
