Is the AOCS a Multi-Level-Marketing scheme?
A typical MLM scheme aims to gain money simply through sign up fees from people who sign up and “join” the association. People who wish to join the AOCS team are required to purchase 100oz of Silver before they are officially called Currency Officers. While this sounds like a MLM scheme, one of the roles of the Currency Officer is to distribute and sell Silver to the general public. By purchasing their first 100oz at the Currency Officer rate, they are provided with a means of making profit through reselling their Silver and are also given full access to the Merchant database for means of promoting Silver sales.
