Magic Gas Pills Round (2) 4-Ecorp
Once again, we are fortunate to be saved from our desire to believe in weird things, like the 4-Corp magic gas pills, by the sound thinking of Tony's Guide to Fuel Saving. It is pleasure to read such well thought out, reasoned, and researched analysis. Here, I quote from the summary, but please don't just read the summary, review the entire page to understand the time and trouble Tony has taken to provide great due diligence on this business opportunity. (There is another nice debunking here.)
Here is what Tony concludes.
* The product was apparently primarily designed as a way to reduce diesel emissions
* The theory does not, to me, seem to support expectations of large economy improvements
* The test data is predominantly related to diesels, and predominantly smoke - economy improvement on gasoline engines does not automatically follow
* CARB's largely negative results from testing D-1280X point to Ethos FR also being of limited benefit
* The media reports seem inconclusive and their tests lack scientific rigour
Now would the new FTC Business Opportunity Rule, which would cover multi-level marketing, have required this analysis? If not, would it provide other equally trenchant and useful analysis?

No, the FTC will not be reviewing the content of the Biz Op disclosure for its truth - you have to do that on your own. Equally troubling by omission, is the fact that "one of the most important aspects of due diligence is the vetting of a new company's top executives and leaders", according to the worldwide scam network. It is unclear to me whether the new Biz Op rule would provide timely disclosure.
According to them, 4-ecorp is Mr. Shane Maquire's 3 MLM plan just this year. Hmm, probably too busy counting money to care.
