On May 14, 2009, California authorities settled their suit with YTB for $1 million in fines. As a condition of the settlement, YTB agreed to restructure, possibly hastening a transition to a franchise system

According to my sources, Ih8MLM, California Attorney General Brown did not then, nor has since, agreed to a settlement with YTB. That’s not to say a settlement will not occur, but it certainly hasn’t yet.

I would be surprised if the YTB announcement by Lloyd Tomer hasn’t hurt their chances to actually settle the case at this point.

There is still no official announcement or comment from the California A/G that there has been any form of settlement with YTB. I’m pretty sure, based on past performance, that “announcement” from inside YTB was just a stunt by “Coach” to boost YTB stock to a value someplace above Monopoly Money. It worked for about 24 hours… The best chance most YTBer’s have of seeing any money would be to join a class action suit against YTB as soon as possible.

OK Shawn,

What is the goal of YTB? TO acquire a down line via the signing up more members or is the goal to help people build a travel agency via the Internet?

The answer to this determines whether the YTB is a legitimate MLM or yet another Bernie Madoff scam.

To the misinformed,

The product YTb sells is in fact the website!!!

With the website you can sell Travel (Market it) nd show the business model to people looking to do the same. Plus any RTA that is involved is no eligible for the perks of an HBB (Home Based Business) it’s called a tax shelter by re-direction of expenses.

Unbelievable,

To those of you throwing stones and live in glass homes – shame on you!

Expedia, is the largest online Giant! But not for long. As mentioned the YTB lawsuit is a civil suit… so YTB is going anywhere.

But getting back to the point – stats show that %85 of all Americans Book there vacations online – so deal with and accept it.

YTB offers the exact vacations as expedia, trvaleocity, orbitz and priceline etc… except we get the commish when we book for the same resort, same hotel, same plane seat etc…

Live with it

Aw, c’mon, he’s a MARKETER! He knows better. Like Madoff was a marketer.

I wonder if any of these people above have a different idea of this thing after the big market crash . . .

Many Multi-Level-Marketing companies are indeed legitimate. One of the ways to tell is where they place their emphasis.

If it is on building your “downline” as opposed to the sale of product then the whole thing is a scam.

If the emphasis is on selling product while building your downline then it’s totally different.
