Herbalife started in the 1980s with Mark Hughes simply selling protein shakes out of the trunk of his car. But, the questionable business model had caused an array of lawsuits, controversy, and news stories for the company throughout the year. Accusations against them range from shotty science, pyramid schemes, and targeting Latino communities.

Welcome to Multi Level Mondays, a weekly series all about multi level marketing, pyramid schemes, and ponzi schemes.
