On June 18th, Vaughn was sentenced to ten months in prison for repeated instances of bankruptcy fraud.

Andre Vaughn popped up on BehindMLM’s radar as a result of the messy spat between Youngevity and Wakaya Perfection.

In a nutshell,
Wakaya Perfection
was created by a bunch of former
Youngevity
executives and top distributors.

Youngevity wasn’t happy
about being gutted
, cue
multiple back and forth lawsuits
.

Wakaya Perfection’s counter lawsuit against Youngevity
was stayed
earlier this year. But the legal mess is far from over and still playing out.

Separately Vaughn is a named defendant in a
$250,000 securities fraud lawsuit filed against Wakaya Perfection
last December.

The lawsuit deals with secret backroom deals given to Wakaya Perfection distributors.

Vaughn is a defendant in the lawsuit, which was
referred to arbitration
in January.

During his time at Youngevity, Vaughn evidently also enjoyed secret backroom deal privileges.

As disclosed by Youngevity themselves in their lawsuit against Wakaya Perfection;

Andre Vaughn and Monique Vaughn are married, share their assets, and co-mingle their funds. Andre was a top distributor for Youngevity.

While both Andre and Monique maintained Youngevity distributor accounts, Andre was by far the more active in Youngevity business.

Over a period of approximately four years, Andreoli in his capacity as President of Youngevity, caused in excess of a dozen “forced qualifications” or automatic rank advancements to be bestowed upon individuals and entities who did not earn those advancements.

The effect was to cause the company to pay those individuals and entities higher than justified commissions, bonuses, and car bonuses.

Among those given these forced qualifications were Andreoli’s parents, his wife and children, Andre Vaughn, and Monique Vaughn.

For example, as a result of Andreoli’s forced qualification of Andre Vaughn, Youngevity paid Vaughn $40,000.00 in car bonuses and in excess of $600,000.00 in commissions and other bonuses over a four year period.

Unfortunately for Vaughn, he was also secretive in his financial affairs outside of Youngevity.

On July 18th, 2018, a Grand Jury indicted Andre Vaughn on several counts of bankruptcy related fraud.

According to Vaughn’s indictment, he and his wife Monique (right);

concealed property and knowingly made false declarations under penalty of perjury in separate April 2005, June 2012, July 2013 and April 2015 bankruptcy filings;

fraudulently concealed several bank accounts they owned and/or had an interest in during their various bankruptcy filings;

lied about separating from one another in their 2013 bankruptcy filing; and

concealed their “affiliation with various businesses and organizations”.
