In retrospect honestly, you were pumping but even then Troy, i dont see how anyone could fault you. At the end of the day, its the responsibility of the investor to do their own due diligence. It is the risk of the investors. The people who bought into this need to take responsibility for better or worse.

But since the SEC has our money, I only think its right for them to immediately pay back those who never profited from Zeek.

I think this whole process will take years because anything related to the government and our legal system is slow and they like all this money. They will keep some of it some how through “legal fees”. Its what they do. I don’t think they have the invididual affiliate best interest at heart.

I would have an easier time accepting that I lost my money because my investment failed but for the government to intervene and hold my money like this? That is not fair.

How are my rights being protected? By the government taking away my money?

Excellent video Troy. You showed a lot of class and humility in posting this.

Sorry but for the past 3 weeks every time I hear your name I remember that old Kingston Trio song but I switch Tom for Troy and it goes: “Hang Down Your Head Troy Dooley. . . ”

LOL

But only that part of the song. Don’t take the whole song seriously.

Looks like the clawbacks are about to begin. This morning, I read that the receiver is seeking profits of participants. http://www.bizjournals.com/triad/blog/morning-edition/2012/09/zeekrewards-receiver-to-seek-profits.html

Ken Bell says this “Among those from whom we intend to recover assets are those affiliates who took more out of Rex Ventures than they put in,” he writes. “Many of you received little or nothing from this enterprise. In order to make everyone as whole as possible, those who profited from participating should surrender their gains.”

well, All I can say is hindsight is always 20/20…..it sure excited me like Ive never have in a long time.

Your only human Troy, all we can do is learn from our mistakes and move on. A real leader will admit his mistakes, I will always be a Troy Dooly follower. Thank You Troy.

sir what is the actual position of zeek when start again or compleatly closed

The video you did today was the best video you’ve ever made, in my humble opinion.

I was with you, Keith Laggos, Kevin Grimes, Peter Mingles, Dawn, Alex and Roger Plyler during those conversations at the NC dinner back in April.

I feel blessed as a field affiliate to have been privy to those conversations. What you said in that video is 100% accurate. The reason why I let my account balance grow so huge without taking profits was because of the suggestions that you and Kevin had made that night and the fact that the execs at Zeek agreed that they needed to act on them and that they would be absolutely be done.

I also would love to know if I put my heart, soul, and everything else I had into a fallacy or if there was every intention to take those suggestions and make them into a reality. I truly believe that your videos were done from the heart and you, as I, believed that the company was intending on making the suggestions from the advisers real so that the company would be around for the long haul.

Some things have come out since Zeek’s demise that lead me to question a lot of what I thought was real but I don’t know all of the facts either and may never know everything. I am with you 100% that I don’t think that Zeek was intended to be a ponzi but boy would I be gravely disappointed if I was proven otherwise.

You are a true advocate for the people and I know that from having spent time with you in many Zeek functions both in public and in closed door meetings with the Zeek Powers That Be. You should hold your head up high as you did what was right for the people and attempted to help the masses. Everyone fails and that’s part of success. You’ll never lose your entire following.

The field appreciates the fact that you can admit that you fell short of total due diligence but you won’t let that happen again. Many of us believed in something wholeheartedly and if we were duped, that’s a real shame and a huge lesson learned. On the contrary, if the facts come out supporting what we truly believed in, our hearts were right and procrastination destroyed what the masses enjoyed. We may never know for sure but it sure was a positive experience while it lasted. Thank you for all you do! You’ve become great for a reason!

Dear Troy

You needed an answer from the audience somewhere near the end of the video, and I gave you what I actually feel and felt. I would say, you should not have asked for that if you were not ready to accept it. I agree to disagree, and that is how the cookie crumbles. People have their opinion and they have the right to, which they did above in responses and So did I.

I would rather ask you to go through all the videos and see with a rational mindset what you did and how I responded. Of course you are a free man and you can continue to advocate the industry-I just gave my opinion so please deal with it. You are certainly not someone what many perceive of you. Neey, you are just not it!

Regards

And Best of luck with you future endeavors.

Troy well before you posted positive info on Zeek Rewards many potential distributors called the office’s of the North Carolina Department of Justice, AG and BBB for info, many reply’s came from them

Reply 1.)
I heard was going around (DOJ1 or AG1 of NC) ‘Zeek Rewards was a legal business’…’penny auctions are legal’

Reply2)
I heard from a you tuber, said…verbal came from a NC DOJ1 or AG1 member…
“Zeek Rewards is Squeeky Clean”

(I cannot confirm this to be factual or have any record of this as I have lost the sources, but it did not sound like a made up story to me)

I hope the people who received ‘Any’ ‘Ok’s', or written material from any regulatory authority to post something…we know hundreds called a lot of agencies and were given information.

Troy can you issue a e-mail address so distributors can send you info they collected from any public offices…saying Zeek Rewards was legal or legit.

People: Please help e-mail forward any info you have

There was also a News channel skit saying how amazing it was…since taken off the air…Can “anyone find this footage”

Here is another clip still out there:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQrR4ivuiZY

I think many are to blame…for what they did say…and why they did not act earlier….or were they just waiting for a fat cat???

All I hope, is no more hurt continues, we can all chalk it up to a lesson.

Through this the Network Marketing World will improve with better comp plans, compliance courses, and regulations.
We want more help by authorities ‘to support the industry’, and realize that its a major player in the global business economy, not to leave programs un-checked to the last minute, thus hurting the overall industry, and the public’s view of Network Marketing

America need’s Network Marketing, many are jobless, stay at home moms, wounded military and more, look to find new ways to generate income online. I only hope the government embrace the industry, as there is not much else out there.

Troy I hope you have seen some of your impersonators on the net. Some are pretty funny. Remember imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

There seems to be popping up some credit card frauds after Zeek’s collapse.

Here’s an example quote from Jimmy, BehindMLM:
——-
The card I used to pay for my monthly subscription had 35 charges all back-to-back for the same amount. I disputed it but interesting to see someone else also had this anomaly.

If the scammer had just made one charge for $700 I might never have seen it.

**********************************

I have some additions to the “Freedom of Speech” discussion that partly has been a part of this thread / the other related threads about misleading info.

“Freedom of Speech” is not the same as “Freedom of Whining”, the right most people tries to claim. “Freedom of Whining” is a completely personal right, in that it exists only in the person’s own mind and are not directly or indirectly supported by any laws.

Fundamental Rights are generally both “vague” and “very basic”, the opposite of being specific. It means people will have to test them each time for whether they should be applied or not, through the use of common sense rather than a fixed set of rules. If we fail to perform the testing the result will usually become meaningless.

Here’s an example, the Fundamental Right of food:
Most people will realize that their local McDonalds restaurant is NOT violating any Fundamental Right to food when they close the restaurant at 11:00 in the evening. The right to food is NOT that specific, it doesn’t require specific or general food suppliers to provide specific or general people with food 24/7. So people expecting it to be applicable to a situation like that are heavily misguided.

For me, it becomes meaningless when people tries to fight for rights they don’t understand themselves. To apply a fundamental right to something, you should first understand that right and its’ limitations.

Often it will be better just to tell people about it when they have misunderstood something rather than allowing them to continue. So I will clearly tell people about it when they have misunderstood the Fundamental Right of food, or when they try to replace “Freedom of Speech” with “Freedom of Whining”, an imaginary right that only exists within their own head.

@Troy

You can clearly allow yourself to delete posts when they don’t add anything meaningful to the discussion, e.g. when people are trying to hijack a thread, are off-topic during several posts and other types of unwanted behaviour (spam, self promoting, or whatever).

The only way to fight for “Freedom of Speech” is to limit it to that rule, and be critical to “Freedom of Whining” and other imaginary rules. Protecting “Freedom of Whining” doesn’t make much sense, it will only lower the respect for the real thing.

so is zeek commin bak

Craddock and Kettner apparently paid enough to an attorney to file a $250 document with the court with “notice to appear”.

“Please take notice that the undersigned, Rodney E Alexander, is appearing in this matter as local counsel for Fun Club USA, Inc and other entities whose assets were seized in connection with the above-referenced matter.”

Some eWallets are FROZEN (but not seized) as precaution. There were NO MONEY SEIZED THUS FAR! All receiver did thus far is identify Zeek money.

Thus, this notice to appear already contained one major mistake.

Furthermore, the idea that Craddock hired “two” firms is only half true. He found this guy in Dallas who’ll take his money, but that guy’s not accredited in the NC Bar. So they had to hire an attorney local in NC Bar to “sponsor” the Dallas attorney to appear “pro hac” as co counsel.
