A multi-million dollar network marketing company handed over a distributor's entire downline to a rival after what the distributor claims was a forged settlement agreement—then called police when he wouldn't stay quiet about it.
Matthew Nestler says Jeunesse Global terminated a secret $90,000 deal with him in 2014 and transferred his entire downline to Kevin Giguere, his former business partner at the company. The two had worked together at another opportunity before Nestler brought Giguere into Jeunesse as part of his team.
According to Nestler, Giguere arranged a meeting where a settlement contract was placed in front of him. Nestler refused to sign. Days later, Giguere showed up at Jeunesse headquarters with a signed copy bearing Nestler's signature. Nestler claims it was forged.
The stakes were enormous. By accepting the settlement, Giguere would inherit Nestler's entire Jeunesse business and commission structure. Nestler filed a lawsuit in February to challenge the deal, and the case remains in court.
But the company's response came faster. On November 17, 2014, an Altamonte Springs police officer arrived at Jeunesse headquarters after receiving a report of harassing communication. According to the police report, officers took statements from two people: Darren Jensen, Jeunesse's president, and Giguere.
Jensen told police that Nestler, listed as an independent contractor, had violated his contract and was terminated. Jensen said he gave Nestler money to leave quietly. Then, Jensen claimed, Nestler started harassing him and other company owners with phone threats.
Jensen stated in his sworn statement that on November 14 and 16, Nestler repeatedly called threatening to kill him and the company's owners. He said Nestler threatened to run them off the road, shoot them, and come to Jeunesse Global with a gun to kill everyone inside.
Jensen said he had tried to get a restraining order in early November but a judge ruled the behavior hadn't yet reached stalking status. Now, with these new threats, Jensen told police he feared for his life and wanted to assist with prosecution.
Giguere provided similar statements to the officer.
The timing is striking. Jensen's account places these alleged death threats just weeks after Giguere presented the settlement agreement with the contested signature. It's the same period when Nestler says he was fighting back against what he describes as a stolen business and a forged document.
No charges were filed against Nestler from this police report. But the incident created an official record—documented police statements from the company's leadership alleging violent threats from the man now suing them over the settlement agreement.
Whether those threats actually occurred, or whether they were part of a strategy to discredit Nestler as his lawsuit moved forward, remains a question the courts will have to answer.
