The Anti-MLM Community breaks some news about the closing of Modere. Here’s one of the crazies. You will have to week through the drama and incompetence.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQyri2QQOKY The Sudden Collapse of Modere: A Wake-Up Call for the MLM Industry On April 11, 2025, the multi-level marketing (MLM) world was rocked by the abrupt closure of Modere, a 23-year-old company known for its clean wellness, beauty, and nutritional products like Liquid BioCell Collagen and Curb. With over a million customers and a global network of distributors across the U.S., Canada, Australia, Japan, and Europe, Modere’s shutdown sent shockwaves through its community. The company’s website displayed a terse farewell, thanking stakeholders but offering no explanation for the decision. This opacity left distributors, customers, and employees reeling, raising questions about the sustainability of MLMs and the risks for those who treat them as businesses. Modere’s closure was jarring for its lack of warning. Social media buzzed with disbelief as distributors, some promoting products mere hours before, learned their livelihoods had vanished. Reports emerged of unpaid commissions, unfulfilled orders, and even corporate employees left without paychecks on what should have been payday. For distributors classified by the IRS as self-employed sole proprietors, the financial hit is brutal—unsold inventory, enrollment kit costs (up to $499.99), and lost income streams now loom as unrecoverable losses. The IRS allows deductions for legitimate business expenses, but navigating these in the wake of such a collapse requires meticulous records and professional guidance, leaving many scrambling. Why did Modere fail? The company remained silent, fueling speculation. Some point to financial strain, with whispers of declining sales or unsustainable practices, though no bankruptcy filing has surfaced. Others highlight regulatory pressures; in 2024, the Direct Selling Self-Regulatory Council flagged Modere for questionable health and income claims, hinting at compliance woes. Leadership turmoil also played a role—2024 saw top distributors exit and legal disputes with figures like co-founder Justin Prince, potentially eroding stability. These factors mirror broader MLM challenges: reliance on recruitment over retail, high distributor turnover, and vulnerability to market shifts. Modere’s collapse joins a 2025 trend of retail closures, from JoAnn Stores to Forever 21, suggesting economic headwinds may have tipped the scales. For distributors, the closure underscores the precariousness of MLM “business ownership.” Unlike traditional entrepreneurs, MLM participants have little control over corporate decisions that can dissolve their operations overnight. The IRS recognizes their self-employed status, but this offers cold comfort when commissions vanish and inventory sits unsold. Online, reactions range from grief to outrage, with anti-MLM voices framing Modere’s fall as proof of the model’s flaws—an industry where only a tiny fraction profit significantly. Some distributors are jumping to other MLMs, while others question the wisdom of reinvesting in a similar structure. Modere’s demise is a cautionary tale for the MLM industry. It exposes the fragility of a model that promises entrepreneurial freedom but often leaves distributors bearing the risks. As the dust settles, calls for transparency and accountability grow louder. Former Modere distributors now face tough choices: pursue legal recourse, write off losses, or start anew. For the broader MLM world, Modere’s collapse demands a reckoning—can these companies deliver on their promises, or are they built on shaky foundations? Only time will tell, but for now, a once-vibrant community mourns a dream abruptly shattered.
