Hello Vemma faithful –
Just wanted to clear up a couple of phone calls I’ve received about moving to other companies.
Although I know there’s panic out there, I want you to hear it from me…hang tight. We have a hearing scheduled for September 3rd. I think we’ll win. Until then, I know you want to do the best for your teams and that’s a sign of great leadership.
I will and have always complied with the court’s order in this matter. I’m the kind of guy that would never violate the terms of that order.
If you hear anything different, tell them you talked to me and I said buckle up because there’s great things ahead for Vemma!
Indirectly, Boreyko appears to have broken his silence to address a rumor going around about his position on the FTC complaint.

yesterday:
VEMMA WARNING – There has been a rumor going around today started by someone purporting to be a “Top Vemma Leader” who stated BK said its done and over go find new homes! NOT TRUE!
Going off Boreyko’s post, it’s clear Vemma intend to mount a defense against the FTC’s claims.
And while the specifics of the defense are unknown at this time (for obvious reasons), we do have some information on what might be presented in court – at least in a broad sense.
Following an announcement yesterday in which he stated he “believed Vemma could win”, Kevin Thompson today announced that he has been retained by Vemma.
I’ve officially been retained to serve in a limited capacity in this case. Lead counsel is based out of Arizona.
What followed was a video appeal by Thompson, requesting “help from the Vemma community” via a “collection of affidavits”.
Thompson leads Vemma customers and affiliates to answer specific questions that paint Vemma in a positive light.
If you’re an affiliate you can also provide an affidavit and answer questions like:
“Did you feel the prices were fair?”
,
“How much product did you typically order each month?”,
“Were you on autoship?”,
“If you were on autoship, did you subscribe maybe to qualify for bonuses or did you subscribe because you wanted to replenish consumed product?”
… What was the reasons behind the autoship subscription?
The problem as I see it, is that Thompson has essentially dangled the carrot of beating the FTC infront of affiliates – soliciting specific answers to specific questions.
Yes Thompson doesn’t say “answer question X with answer Y”, but close enough. Thompson knows full well the answers he needs to present affidavits in court, and that’s what he’s fishing for.
I can tell you now, no affidavit from an affiliate which states they signed up for autoship to qualify for commissions will be presented in court. At least not by Thompson.
A greater issue lies in the legal responsibility those filling in the affid
