Like all Ponzi schemes, the going is good until the money runs out.

Better Living Global Marketing launched in the shadow of the $850M Ponzi scheme,
Zeek Rewards
.

From his hidey-hole in Hong Kong, Luke Teng headed up the company. Teng oversaw investors pump $1175 sums into the scheme on
the promise recruitment commissions and 99 day ROIs
.

Whereas Zeek Rewards was
shut down by US regulators
, the belief among Better Living investors was that the company being based out Hong Kong meant there was no chance of regulatory action 
before
 new investor funds were exhausted.

As with every other MLM penny auction, retail was non-existent and eventually Better Living ran out of affiliate funds to pay commissions and returns with. The lack of funds appears to have critical mass sometime late last year, with affiliate withdrawals grinding to a halt shortly thereafter.

Since late 2013, the scheme has mostly been in limbo.

Hong Kong police were reported to have
begun an investigation into Better Living
back in May, but as of yet nothing has come of it.

In desperate need to inject new affiliate funds into the scheme to keep it going, Luke Teng has been holding meetings within which he lays out his plans for the company going forward.

Despite being uploaded last month, the video analyzed below
only recently surfaced
. Going off Teng’s remarks in the video pertaining to company revenue, it appears to have been recorded around September of 2014.

Addressing an assembly of what are presumably some of his top investors, Luke Teng delivers his speech from behind a counter in what appears to be an office.

Teng opens up by asking the group whether they are aware that Better Living “is having cash flow problems”.

One of the affiliates responds “yes”, which seems to surprise Teng. After asking who the affiliate’s upline is, he then dismisses his initial concern stating that “it doesn’t matter”.

Teng then reassures the assembly that Better Living’s cash flow problems are “temporary”.

[1:40] We don’t hide anything. We hare having financial problems now, cash flow problems… but this is temporary, I promise you, because… do you know what we are doing?

Now this is very important, does 
everybody
know what we are doing?

This is not a network company. This is not just another Amway… Herbalife, we are not just that one.

How are we different?

In network marketing marketing companies, like for instance Herbalife, want to lose weight? Ask me, right?

You tell people how to lose weight in Herbalife, you don’t make money… 
until
you sell something. That is network marketing.

[3:08] Most people would like to recommend good things to your friends and relatives but they cannot sell.

That is the big difference, ok?

But if you don’t sell, how can you make money? You get me first? Get me?

This is network marketing. Better Living is not pure network marketing.

In Better Living, we don’t necessarily sell to make money. Is that right?

Because profit sharing. We

🤖 Quick Answer

What was Better Living Global Marketing and how did it operate?
Better Living Global Marketing was a multilevel marketing scheme operating from Hong Kong under Luke Teng's direction. The company solicited investments of $1,175 per participant, promising returns through recruitment commissions and guaranteed 99-day returns of investment, mimicking the structure of previous Ponzi schemes like Zeek Rewards.

Why did Better Living Global Marketing collapse?
The scheme lacked genuine retail sales, depending entirely on affiliate recruitment funds to pay commissions and promised returns. When investor recruitment slowed and funds depleted, the company could no longer sustain payment obligations, leading to financial collapse typical of unsustainable pyramid structures.

How did Better Living investors believe they were protected from regulation?
Better Living investors believed the company's Hong Kong location provided protection from US regulatory intervention, allowing sufficient time to exhaust new investor funds before potential enforcement action could occur.
