Passport MLM sinks - you tell us why

Qrush has decided to ask readers why they believe the MLM Passport ship sank. And if you are having a difficult time narrowing your answer down to one answer, good news, you can select multiple answers. Qrush over and out.

Why did the Passport MLM go out of business?
	Poor product selection (Even with their Bone Builder and Prostate pills. Read more here.)
	No training system (They laughed at businesses that attempt this. Read more here.)
	Lack of capital (Not even Daddy and the Sweat family could help enough here. Read more here.)
	Parasite marketing plan (Apparently ethics do count for something. Read more here.)
	Bo Short as CEO (On the job training doesn't always work. Read more here.)
	Ty Tribble as new CEO (Or was he just designated Patsy? Read more here.)
	Unholy alliance with Scott Larsen (Be careful who you associate with. Read more here.)
	No market identity (Saying "we are not Quixtar" is not an identity. Read more here.)
	No Passport winners (If you can't show off an Associate with some positive results no one believes in your business. Read more here.)
	Got on Qrush's bad side (Get on Qrush's bad side and you go down. Read more here.)

The above statements and comments are based on Qrush’s observations of the pitiful rise and quick fall of Bo Short and his Passport MLM.

Ty Tribble has no Shame?

Ty Tribble is at it again, using his blog to make himself look legitimate in the eyes of his readers. Ty has come to believe that though “you can’t fool all the people all the time,” the ex-Passport minions may be the exception to this rule. For example, now Ty is trying to convince everyone that staying at home while his wife is out working is an honorable thing to do. Qrush says, “Shame on you Ty.”

Ty plagiarized an article from the WNDU-16 website that tells the story of both a computer specialist and an attorney who started working out of their homes in order to be nearer to their kids. Somehow Ty hopes his readers will conclude that if it’s ok for these two guys to work out of the house, it must be ok for Ty to be at home all day. Qrush hopes that Ty’s readers will see through this sham and realize that Ty is comparing apples to oranges here. The gentlemen from the WNDU-16 article still have legitimate jobs and earn respectable salaries whereas Ty is at home because he either doesn’t want or can’t get a job. He is simply lying around the house, posting on his blog, selling junk on eBay, while Mom is at work. No kidding gang. Ty even brags about being an eBay Power Seller.

Qrush thinks Ty should find another mentor other than Bo Short. Try taking advice for a change from someone with some past success. In the meantime Qrush will offer these jobs that Qrush believes Ty is currently qualified to do.

1. Domino’s pizza delivery boy. Even your friend Brian Johnson, a.k.a. MLMDoJo, wasn’t too proud to deliver pizzas after his Passport debacle.

2. Starbucks counter helper. There are lots of Starbucks in your home state of Washington and Qrush says, “If a high school student can handle the job, you can too Ty.”

3. Find another failing company like you did with Passport and become their C.E.O. patsy so they have someone to blame when they close the doors. You have experience in this area and they will probably let you work out of the house.

Qrush over and out.

The above statements and comments are based on Qrush’s observations of the pitiful behavior of Ty Tribble. Qrush is having lots of fun exposing the truth about nimrods Ty Tribble and Bo Short and knows Qrush has them on the run.

Is Ty Tribble Passport's "Lee Harvey Oswald"?

Was Ty Tribble turned into a patsy by Bo Short regarding Passport’s demise or is Ty Tribble simply an incompetent leader? Ty Tribble was appointed President of Passport effective February 1, 2005, but less than a year later Bo is writing letters to his Passport Associates saying, “Since its launch, Passport has shown a profit each month,” but that he and Ty and Dave Stone (Passport’s Executive Vice President) had decided to shut down Passport, or as Bo put it, “partner with Marshall Douglas.” Marshall is a Vice Chairman of an MLM out of Washington.

So if Ty Tribble took over as Passport’s President and Passport was making a profit, what went wrong? Qrush’s contention is that Bo Short was simply looking for a patsy, or a fall-guy, so that when Passport went belly-up, it wouldn’t look like another pathetic Bo Short failure.

Qrush says, “Just look at Ty’s business experience, or lack thereof.” Since Ty’s graduation from Evergreen High School in 1988 (18 years ago), his entire business background is that he signed up in the MLM industry as an IBO in 1992, quit to join Passport as an Associate a few years ago, runs a few network marketing blogs, and now brags about being an eBay Power Seller. So Qrush wants to know how the last 18 years of Ty’s life has prepared him to take over as President of an MLM? Was Ty qualified for this job? Of course not. Being a Passport Associate no more qualified Ty for the President’s job at Passport any more than Qrush’s neighbor lady, who sells Avon, is qualified for the top job at Avon. The simple truth is that Bo Short knew Passport was about to go under and needed a patsy to take the blame. Why else would Bo turn over his company to someone so obviously unqualified for the job?

AS a side note, Qrush thinks Ty has certainly paced himself since High School. Qrush challenges his readers to the following exercise. How long would it take you to join 3 MLMs, quit 2 MLMs, open a few blog accounts, and then open an eBay account? For Ty Tribble, the answer is 18 years, and this was without crowding his schedule with silly activities like college classes or a J-O-B.

So what are Ty’s current goals? Ty says he wants to build a profitable MLM business and he has set a goal to help over 100 people earn over $1,000 a month in 2006, all while putting in a full time effort as an eBay Power Seller. Qrush thinks it’s a good thing Ty is a “stay at home dad,” but with Ty's new agressive, and most likely for Ty, unreachable goals, advises Ty not to go back to bed after the kids leave for school.

The above statements and comments are based on Qrush’s opinions from years of watching Bo Short try in vain to make something useful out of his pitiful life. Qrush over and out.

What's wrong with Bo Short & Scott Larsen?

Bo Short and Scott Larsen are the king parasites marketers in Bo’s masterless machinations. Bo is now a full time anonymous blogger updating multiple sites and Scott Larsen spends most of his time getting spanked. Can anyone tell Qrush what is up with Scott Larsen? Scott attacks Jody Victor, then apologizes, then attacks again, and now retracts all of his second attack? Is Scott Larsen schizophrenic? Is this another case of Me, Myself, and Irene? Scott Larsen is acting like a scared little child, not the big time consumer advocate he “claims” to be. Bo Short is acting like a desperate nearly broken man, not the big time MLM expert he “claims” to be. Qrush warned Bo about his association with Scott, but he didn’t listen. What a pathetic waste of two lives in Qrush’s opinion. I have an idea for both of our two schmucks. Why not quit bashing others, since it seems you spend a lot of time posting articles, only to take them down a week later? Maybe you could use your saved time and go do something productive with your lives. Qrush will reveal some great news shortly and Bo Short will be exposed. Bo Short had the opportunity, motive and time to do this heinous move and now all Qrush needs is a confirmation. Qrush believes that Bo Short’s bluff hand will be called and we will see what a big man he is. :) Why would an alleged man of character develop a website specifically to bash a competitor? Is this the type of man anyone would wish to be in business with? Is this really Quixtar negative when it is all written by a competitor wishing to benefit by the trash spewed? Qrush over and out.

The above statements and comments are based on Qrush’s opinions and years of research. Qrush is seeking the truth on why two allegedly grown men would act in such a childish fashion for so long. Qrush has the two nimrods on the run and will seal the deal shortly.

Bo Short, Joe Markiewicz & Anonymous Bloggers?

Qrush continues to laugh at the plummeting career of Bo Short. Bo went from the image of being a speaker, author, and diamond to a (Scott Larsen and Coy Barefoot) trained slanderer, libeler, anonymous blogger, and former diamond. Bo Short’s career is hitting rock bottom in his latest attempt to steal IBO’s from Quixtar. Bo Short is actually writing anonymous blog post and is now attacking Joe Markiewicz. Joe Markiewicz is the rising star of Quixtar and has achieved the prestigious Double Diamond level. Joe and his family are celebrating their Double Diamond day at Quixtar while Bo Short hides away and attacks the character and integrity of a known winner. Bo Short is a “Former” everything and Joe Markiewicz is a double diamond. Just a little common sense will tell you who you should listen to. Bo Short went on Dateline and accused Quixtar of hurting him. (Sniff, sniff) Joe Markiewicz was featured on Dateline and said this opportunity would help people make millions and it does. Joe said that neither Dateline nor the negative internet would stop anyone with a real dream from achieving success and it didn’t. Bo Short stated he had a better business that would revolutionize the MLM field and pass Quixtar and it didn’t. (It didn’t even hit the sales totals of most children’s lemonade stands :)

Qrush’s money is on the proven winner not the proven whiner. Bo is a failed MLM’er who won’t be invited back on Dateline and Joe is a successful leader invited to Quixtar’s corporate home in ADA. Thank you, Joe, Mike, Larry, Paul, Bill, Dexter, and for proving that real success is out there in a real business. Thank you, Bo Short for providing an example of the horrendous effects of jealousy and malice on a person’s character. Bo, Qrush forwarded all of the condemning information to both the Quixtar legal staff and IBOAI, so Qrush would advise you stop your egregious behavior against Quixtar leaders. Maybe one of them will wake up to your intolerable parasite marketing methods. Ponder these points well. Nighty night Bo. Qrush over and out.

The above statements and comments are based on my opinions and emails from former Bo Short friends who are tired of his charades. Qrush believes their may be a sliver of conscience (the feeling Bo gets when he finds out Qrush is watching him:) left in Bo and is patiently waiting for Bo Short to come to his senses. Qrush’s patience does have limits.

Coy Barefoot, Quixtar & Lies?

Qrush would like to thank the informants giving the inside goods on Coy Barefoot. What a shame that Bo Short doesn't know when his goose is cooked. Bo Short, all you have to do is quit your skullduggery and parasite marketing on Quixtar and Qrush will protect your family secrets. You may have fooled Quixtar and you may have fooled the IBOAI, but you haven't fooled Qrush. Qrush is giving you your final warning before all @$#@#% breaks loose. Sleep well. Qrush over and out.

The above statements and comments are based on information gathered from my growing fan club. They are intended to help pull the curtain back on an angry, confused, immature MLM bad boy and help him to help himself.

Alleged Quixtar Blog Post Ty Tribble Ads?

Qrush has an interesting question to ask the Bo Short lover who runs the site Qblog. Why do you always post positive articles on Bo Short’s Passport? (Passport is a failed MLM) Why didn’t you write a detailed analysis as to why the Passport business failed? (Like: Awful products, Incompetent Leadership, Ignorant Training, Victim Thinking Associates, etc.) Why do you constantly praise and promote Bo Short a six time MLM failure? Qrush will review just one of many such examples of the biased behavior from alleged neutral Qblog. Qblog posted this advertisement run by Ty Tribble. Ty Tribble is a former non-platinum in Amway and has never achieved anything in life worth talking about and so he makes up his own press releases. What is worse than Ty’s fake press release is Qblog’s post about the fake press release. Qrush has rewritten the article to represent a satirical look at the real facts for Ty and Qblog and Bo Short. Passport did fail, Ty did fail again also, Qblog is biased for Passport and Bo Short (Peter Pan Man) did exit the field and run to another network, never accepting blame for any of his or his businesses many shortcomings. Qrush’s satire is in red.

According to Ty Tribble, CEO of Tribble.org
From Market Wire: Former Quixtar Business Owners Change Approach to Network Marketing
What do high priced products, leaving home 3 or 4 nights a week, expensive training, and time-consuming meetings have in common? According to Ty Tribble, CEO of Tribble.org, "Everything that is wrong with network marketing."

Qrush for Ty Tribble: What do low quality garbage products, writing post for multiple blogs 7 days a week, ignorant worthless training, and time-consuming Quixtar bashing have in common? According to Ty Tribble, former fake CEO of now defunct Passport, “Everything that was wrong with Bo Short’s pitiable Passport fantasy”

Tribble learned the down side of network marketing the hard way, as a Quixtar independent business owner (IBO). He says, "All I knew about it was what I heard from my Quixtar sponsor. He had a very nice home, luxury cars, and traveled around the world. It just seemed reasonable that if I listened to him and worked hard, I would have those things too." But it didn't work out that way for Tribble -- or for many other Quixtar IBOs.

Qrush for Ty Tribble: Tribble learned the down side of being in business with MLM Bad Boy Bo Short the hard way, as one of the few suckers stupid enough to believe Bo Short’s rhetoric. Ty says, “All I knew of Bo Short’s alleged success I learned from Bo Short. He was selling his home, sending his wife off to work, and talking about how his daddy traveled the world. It just seemed reasonable that if I just listened to Bo Short and played victim like he does that I could attract the attention of a TV show or at least a 40 year old virgin like Scott Larsen to do a write up on me too. But it didn’t work out that way for Tribble – or for any other stupid schmucks Bo Short scammed into Passport. Passport closed its door and Bo Short ran to another venture claiming former status for the sixth time.

------------Qblog's Comments on Ad-----------------
My thoughts on the Market Wire press release:I saw the above "article" on Google News (which does NOT take money to post links to my knowledge) earlier today and thought it was very curious. I have a habit of posting curious links related to Quixtar (either directly or indirectly) and this was no exception. Time constraints prohibited me from adding my own comments to the initial post until now.

Qrush for Qblog: I wanted to get my buddy’s (Ty Tribble’s) ad up as soon as possible and now will give my comments in an attempt to look neutral. I have a habit of posting Quixtar information and anything positive I can find on Passport. (Which isn’t much considering they are a failed enterprise, but since it is all lies anyway I can always make stuff up. :)

I have a very good understanding of news and the news business and my attitude towards press releases is that they're a necessary evil. While most press releases are just pure pabulum, some do convey useful information like announcing a new product, scientific discovery or newsworthy event. I'll let you decide the value of Ty Tribble's press release.

Qrush for Qblog: I like to represent myself as a reporter when actually I am paid by Bo Short to represent his pitiable business interest. Since Bo Short’s daddy was in politics, Bo learned to bash his opponents and carried this practice into all of his failed businesses. I am Bo’s hired gun to charade as a neutral commentator and fill people with negative on Quixtar and positive on Passport or any other failed business Bo attempts.

There are three reasons this particular press release caught my attention:
1.It was published the same day that an air date for the Dateline NBC story on Quixtar was unofficially announced.
2. It contained no real new information and had little actual news value.
3. It stated that Ty Tribble is the CEO of Tribble.org.

Qrush for Qblog: There are three reasons this particular press release caught my attention:
1. It was published by my boss’s associate in timing with the Dateline Joke.
2. It contained no real new information and had little news value, but I posted on it because my boss Bo told me too.
3. It stated that Ty Tribble is the CEO of Tribble.org. He can call himself the pope for all I friggin care as long as his check is good.

The third reason is the one that was most perplexing to me. From all appearances Tribble.org is simply a Passport site. I've been told that Tribble.org is much more than that but I find no evidence supporting that notion. Interestingly, one of Passport's primary selling points is that there are no titles. Bo Short states on his own Web site:

Qrush for Qblog: The third reason is the one most perplexing to me. How can Ty Tribble go from construction worker, failed Amway distributor, Starbucks coffee groupie, and stay at home dad (while mommy brings home the bacon :) to CEO? This is the magic of the internet where any failure with a couple of finger pecks can change his title, but not his comical results in life. Interestingly, one of Passport’s primary selling points is that there are no titles except Bo Short the Former ______ (Take your pick, there are so many choices here. :) Bo Short states some verbiage on his own website and I am forced to publish it here since he is the boss:

As an author on books about leadership I have been struck by something very interesting while interviewing great leaders; the more confident they are in their ability, the less concerned they are with titles. I believe that many people in this industry that achieve so-called pin-levels, while hard-workers, are not necessarily leaders. Each of our teammates are called Independent Associates. A leader should be allowed to make an impact immediately, even if they do not wear a fancy title. If it is your business your voice should be heard.

Qrush for Bo Short: As an author on books about leadership (I have to write about leadership since I have failed to actually lead anyone besides to the poor house) I have been struck by something very interesting while talking to leaders; the more confident they are in their ability, the less concerned with titles like Former _____ they are. I believe that people who achieve former after everything they ever do are not leaders but pretenders and I can speak about this first hand. Each of my former Passport teammates are called independent meat for my well oiled grinder. A leader should be allowed to make an impact immediately and when I took over Passport my impact was felt in just over 2 years when we closed Passport’s doors for good. If it is your business and you sign up with six time MLM failure like me, then your voice should be heard because I have been proven incompetent in business?

Now, CEO seems like a title to me. In fact, of all the titles you can get in a company CEO is about the most impressive sounding title I can think of besides maybe Chairman of the Board, Founder or Supreme Commander. So, I ask the question, is Tribble.org a Passport site? And if it is, then why does Ty get to sidestep the whole "no titles" thing and be a CEO?

Qrush for Qblog: Now, CEO seems like a title to me and so does former diamond. My boss Bo Short has the gall to call himself a former Quixtar diamond even though he never qualified diamond in Quixtar and only once in Amway. (Now that is character and integrity that sets Bo Short apart :) In fact, of all the titles you can get in a company CEO is about the most impressive sounding title I can think of besides maybe Chairman of the Board or Former Country Singer, Limo Driver, Diamond etc. Ty Tribble believes that if he is going to fake something he is going to fake it all the way. So I ask the question, is Tribble.org a Passport site? And if it is, then why does Ty get to sidestep the whole “no titles” thing and be a CEO? I mean I called Bo Short and he told me I had to stay Qblog and I am peed off. I am better than Ty Tribble, that numnuts &^*&%%^$&*.

Now, I guess the explanation is that Tribble.org is not ONLY Passport but much, much more. And, if Ty owns this business (which happens to be tied to Passport in some way) then he can give himself any title he damn well pleases, and this is absolutely correct. When you break it all down, there's nothing wrong with Ty being the CEO of Tribble.org (and I never said it was wrong). Hell, Bo Short is the CEO of Passport, the company that doesn't have titles. There's just something about that whole press release that doesn't sit well with me. Maybe my personal dislike of press releases in general is coloring my perceptions? There's just something in my gut that says, "This is just an effort to create some type of status" (though my gut is often wrong, that pizza I had for dinner is reminding me of that fact). I really can't put my finger on it but if I were writing that press release (God forbid I ever write one) I think I'd have ditched the CEO references and said something like "a highly successful Passport Associate." That gets across the truth (as reported by Ty), is impressive and yet does not incorporate a title.

Qrush for Qblog: Now, I guess the explanation for this whole post is that I need my paycheck so bad that I am willing to post this pabulum for my money. Ty is a loser regardless of what title he has and Bo Short is a sorry pimp no matter what title he fabricates also. There is just something in my gut that tells me that Ty Tribble and Bo Short are going to be eating a lot of crow in another year after their business derails and I am going to look like an arse for supporting them on my blog post.

Anyway, I'm just sharing my personal reactions. I wish I could do a better job explaining this but I can't. Sometimes I just have a hard time putting my thoughts and emotions into words. I hope you can understand.

Qrush for Qblog: Anyway, I’m just doing what the boss says and can’t help but having my real feelings leak out. Sometimes I wonder if working with Bo Short was the biggest mistake of my life. Quixtar IBO’s, I hope you understand this is nothing personal, but all about the money. Hell, I would laugh at Bo Short and Ty Tribble’s shenanigans too if I weren’t a paid stooge for these morons. I mean how many times will these guys fabricate stories only to be proven entirely wrong before they realize they are beaten by their own lies. :)

There you have the rest of the story on Qblog, Bo Short and Ty Tribble. Qrush will be revealing more of the parasite marketer’s schemes in the following weeks. Is anyone curious as to the real identity of Qblog? Qblog is posting on more than one blog and Qrush knows who and why. Even better, Bo Short and Scott Larsen know that Qrush knows. :) Qrush over and out.

The above statements and opinions are satire. They are meant to represent Qrush’s opinions and known facts in a humorous way to display to these parasite bozos that the world is laughing at their egregious behavior. What clowns Ty, Bo and Scott are. :)

Parasite Marketers Attack WorldWide Dream Builders?

Qrush is reviewing some of the parasite marketer’s latest pitiable work on Wiki. Why are known competitors and lying critics allowed to write and edit articles where they are obviously biased? Qrush chose to study WWDB out of all the Quixtar groups because Scott Larsen and Bo Short seem to have a special love hate relationship with this business group. Why do the parasite marketers hate WWDB so much? Is it because WWDB is led by individuals with Christian character and leadership that don’t quit an enterprise every two years? Ron Puryear (Most Respected Leader in Quixtar) and Greg Duncan (of Incredible Edibles fame) are two of the best leaders in the whole Quixtar business and Bo & Scott can’t stand any Quixtar success story. The parasite marketers have even resorted to attacking younger diamonds in WWDB in an attempted maneuver to boost the parasites sagging morale, manhood and sales. What does Scott Larsen (the poster child for the 40 year old virgin) know about relationships to get off talking about someone else’s divorce? What does Bo Short (the poster child for the Peter Pan Man) know about business to comment on WWDB’s business success? Scott is a 40+ year old non-married moron and Bo Short is a 40+ year old business “has been” or actually “has never.” WWDB’s Wiki article is posted with Qrush’s factual comments of WWDB in red.

WorldWide Dream Builders
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
WorldWide Dream Builders (WWDB) is a professional development group, associated with Quixtar and Amway, which are owned by Alticor, Inc. WWDB claims that it has a "System for Success" for Quixtar, allowing you to earn an income of $250,000 or greater, in 2-5 years, working 10-15 hours a week.

WorldWide Dream Builders (WWDB) is the largest and one of the fastest growing groups associated with Quixtar. WWDB’s business support system is a “System for Success” for Quixtar and allows you to earn an income of $250,000 or greater, in 2-5 years, by following the pattern. During the same time period that Bo Short failed four times, Dean Kosage and Brad Wolgamott went to diamond and beyond. No wonder Bo and Scott are leading a parasite marketing campaign against them and have now stooped to using Wiki as a cover for their heinous activities.

The System
The System is defined as a program of books, tapes, and seminars that one can attend that are supposed to equip you with the necessary training to build a profitable Quixtar Independent Business. It is separate from the Quixtar Business opportunity.

The System
The System is defined as a training program of books, tapes, and seminars that you can attend to be equipped for building a profitable Quixtar business. Only someone that is clueless when it comes to business (Bo Short and Scott Larsen) would actually think you could build a business from scratch with no training. John Maxwell says, “Everything rises and falls on leadership.” Bo Short’s pitiable life is an excellent refresher course for someone who is thinking leadership does not matter. Training is necessary in any activity and the real question is does it work? WWDB and their training program have produced more diamonds than any other training system in North America in the last ten years.

There is a great deal of controversy surrounding the "Amway/Quixtar Motivational Organizations" (AMOs or AQMOs) owned and operated by high-level distributors. Quixtar and the AMOs claim that the business skills of IBOs are honed by the business support materials, or "tools," that are sold by the motivational organizations, and that the support material can be of help to an IBO who wants to build a big business. Furthermore, during the registration process, IBOs are required to accept an agreement that is intended to make the new distributor aware that the business support materials - books, tapes, CDs, informational literature, seminars, etc. - are purely optional and that requires the above-mentioned AMO/AQMO's (also known as LOA, or Line Of Affiliation) to buy back any defective or unwanted business support materials within a reasonable time frame.

There is no controversy surrounding the (QMOs) and the only news here is how many fake websites can Scott, Bo and his band of midget men operate? A few deviant individuals running 20 sites is not the same as 20 different individuals running one site each. Intelligent IBO’s will seek out training and believe in learning from successful leaders, like Brad Duncan (Founders Crown), for their business information. All people joining WWDB sign a BSMAA form that discloses system profits and expenses. There is no secret story and Bo and Scott know it. They continue to play this chord, even though it does not exist, in a pathetic effort to create distrust in the WWDB leadership. You have a choice when reading Wiki to believe a website where anyone can comment or believe proven leaders with a proven track record. What is Bo Short’s track record? Bo has failed almost as many times as a cat has lives. Bo should sign up in WWDB and get mentorship from Ron Puryear to learn the meaning of character. If Bo doesn’t like WWDB then others groups may choose to help him and treat him as the prodigal son in forgiving his MLM Bad Boy behavior.

Critics, however, charge that many of the AQMOs do not provide reasonable terms for refunds and can exert pressure to induce participants into purchasing large amounts of these business support materials and to attend costly motivational seminars. The sale of the motivational tools to IBOs down the line is described as the "business within the business" of Quixtar from which the high-level distributors are said to make the majority of their income. Undercover investigations (like one done by MSNBC Dateline in 2003-04) also suggest that most the money being earned by the top-level distributors was coming from the hidden "tools" business rather than through selling the products of Quixtar. Though Quixtar representatives declined to appear on the MSNBC special, the company did publish an official "Quixtar Response" website.

Bo and Scott allege that many AQMOs do not provide reasonable terms for refunds. They allege this in an attempt to create controversy to benefit them in their parasite marketing campaign. WWDB has been open and honest with where the money is made and has no issue with stating platinums, emeralds, diamonds, etc. can profit for building the WWDB business model. What is “hidden” with the system incomes? Every IBO signs a disclaimer which discloses this potential profit source. If you don’t like it, then don’t join. Whatever you do, don’t play the part of a victim when you know the facts. This is another example of Bo Short’s and Scott Larsen’s dishonest Wiki articles.

Information Control
The WorldWide Dreambuilders System claims to provide a system for success. Information is specially filtered, sorted, and delivered to IBO's through a subscription to the World Wide Group. This comes in the form of tapes or CDs, books, and seminars. The information contained therein strongly discourages members of WorldWide Dream Builders from obtaining information outside of their "upline" mentors, as it "could be inaccurate".

WWDB system provides a system for success. Every successful enterprise develops a system for delivering the proper information to its organization. This is not information control, but quality control. Anyone in WWDB has the choice of where to get their information. They can choose to get it from winners like Ron Puryear, Greg Duncan etc. or from losers like Bo Short and Scott Larsen. Each IBO will live with the quality of the choices they make. Scott Larsen has been “busted” on at least two occasions for outright lies and cannot be considered a viable source for information. This is why he has now resorted to Wiki since this allows him to remain anonymous.

Eric Schiebeler, a former Emerald IBO and author of Merchants of Deception, believes WWDB (and other associated Amway / Quixtar motivational organizations) are systems in which slow processes of thought reform take place. WWDB claims this is not the case.

Eric Schiebler, was never part of WWDB and has no clue or concept of how the WWDB training system is run. How can someone who has never been part of WWDB’s training system comment on the performance and quality of the results? Compare the results of the achievers in WWDB to the results of the critics and you determine who to listen to.

In any event, Quixtar "triple diamond" Greg Duncan has also sought to control information. In October 2004, at a conference held by WorldWide Dream Builders, called "Free Enterprise Days" in Portland, Oregon, Greg Duncan announced from stage that Quixtar, with the help of WorldWide Dream Builders quote, "we have hired our own geeks to drown out the negative information on the web...so when someone types in Quixtar, they see only the information we want them to see." This action was known as Quixtar's "Web Reputation Task force" and was exposed by a blogger by the name of Qblog, aka Eric Janssen.

In October 2004, at a conference held by WWDB called “Free Enterprise Days” in Portland, Oregon, Greg Duncan announce from stage that Quixtar, with the help of WWDB would develop a plan to share “the facts on the Quixtar opportunity.” The actual quote was, “we have hired our own propeller head geeks, to tell the truth on the Quixtar opportunity and drown out the negative lies on the web with the facts.” The false and misleading alleged information control came from a site that allegedly is run by Eric Janssen, but Qrush has learned the rest of the story to be revealed at a later date. Qrush has exposed the new Wiki strategy of the critics in my case building against the crimes, deviancy and deceit of our parasite pair.

Qrush will continue to expose Bo Short and Scott Larsen in my future post. I have given both of the immoral bozo’s ample time to repent from their deviant blogging deeds. No repentance or explanation from Scott or Bo just leads Qrush to reveal more. Perhaps Bo and Scott ought to attempt a new strategy as your old strategy is so blatantly obvious. Even Quixtar and the IBOAI may figure out the real facts at this rate. :) Qrush believes you reap what you sow in life and Bo and Scott are reaping the whirlwind. Qrush over and out.

The above comments and statements are based on my opinions and the strange behavior of two “has never” people. The secret lives of these two miscreants will be advertised to the whole world. Qrush believes being “MLM Bad Boys” never pays.

Bo Short Uses Peter Pan Man Child Scott Larsen?

Qrush is asking his reader audience to vote for which of the two Peter Pan boys (Bo Short or Scott Larsen) best exemplifies the spirit of Peter Pan’s “Never grow up” attitude. The author’s article will be posted with Qrush’s satiric reinterpretation for Scott Larsen’s behavior in blue. Qrush comments as always will be in red.

Adult Immaturity: The Peter Pan syndrome
By Grace MacDowellTuesday, January 3, 2006 9:29 AM EST
“I'm eighteen now. I'm an adult, and I don't need you or anyone else telling me what to do!”

Scott Larsen Evaluation: “I’m a 40+ year old virgin and I don’t need you or anyone else telling me what to do! I am holding down a steady job finally after a couple of failed attempts in business so leave me alone.”

Scott Larsen is a middle aged failure that hooked up with Bo Short in a pitiful attempt to buy some much needed credibility. Bo Short turned out to be the original MLM Bad Boy failure and the only person with a worse failure record than Scott Larsen.

I'm sure that many a parent, teacher, or other authority figure has heard this declaration, all the while knowing full-well that the teen may be legally an adult, but is exhibiting far from sufficient maturity to act like an adult.

Scott Larsen Evaluation: Everyone in the Quixtar community both pros and cons have heard Scott’s declaration, all the while knowing full-well that the man child Scott Larsen may be legally an adult, but is exhibiting far from sufficient maturity to act like an adult. Scott throws tirades over the smallest issues and heaps his vituperation against anyone acting responsible in life.

Scott Larsen is a spoiled man child who imagines himself as a consumer advocate and actually is a lying man child.

Physiologically, the human brain is not ready for truly mature behavior until about age 25. Recent neuropsychological research strongly suggests that the frontal cortex, where we make decisions and control our emotions and impulses, is not fully developed until that age. While the potential for mature behavior then exists (the “nature,” or genetic part of the human development equation), the ability to act in such a fashion is grossly shaped by environmental influences (the “nurture” part of the equation that comes from interpersonal interactions).

Scott Larsen Evaluation: Physiologically, Scott Larsen’s brain will not truly mature behavior until he settles down in a normal long term relationship, gets married and has children. Recent neuropsychological research strongly suggests that the frontal cortex, where Scott makes decisions and controls his emotions and impulses, is in Scott Larsen’s brain incapable of dating the opposite sex. Scott Larsen’s growth has been delayed due to lack of experience with members of the opposite sex. While the potential for mature behavior possibly exist in Scott Larsen, the ability to act in such a fashion is grossly shaped by his poor associations of Bo Short, Ty Tribble and Qblog.

Scott is physically and adult, but has mentally never grown up. Scott adult adolescence is caused by never taking responsibility for anything in his life. Scott claims to have never been at fault in any situation and blames others for every pathetic situation he gets himself into. Scott has never maintained a steady relationship because no one can stand being with him longer than 15 minutes.

Unfortunately, too many chronologically older adults haven't “grown up” either, thus doing a poor job of preparing the next generation. These adults want all the power, but little or none of the responsibility, deep sacrifice, and moral structure that are a part of mature adulthood.

Scott Larsen Evaluation: Unfortunately for successful Quixtar leaders, too many man child Scott Larsen types (40 year old virgins) haven’t grown up either, thus doing a poor job of representing the facts on Quixtar and preparing the next generation of winners. Scott Larsen wants all the power, but little or none of the responsibility, deep sacrifice, and moral structure that are a part of mature adulthood.

Scott Larsen has helped no one else because he is incapable of helping himself.

Immature adults more often employ concrete thinking and reasoning. They are quick to demand that boundaries be held for others, but not for them.

Scott Larsen Evaluation: Scott Larsen often employs faulty concrete thinking and reasoning. Scott is quick to demand that boundaries be held for others, but not for himself. Scott believes it perfectly acceptable to accuse any diamond of nefarious crimes, but can’t handle a little good natured ribbing over his lack of manhood.

Scott is very sensitive over his 40+ year virgin status. Some claim he is anything but a virgin, but Scott demands these false boundaries for his own life even though he does not respect them for others.

Like Peter Pan, they break societal folkways or even law to serve their own purposes, with little regard for the feelings and rights of others. They have little integrity, cutting as many corners on quantity or quality of work done as they possibly can, often using a sense of entitlement to justify their behaviors.

Scott Larsen Evaluation: Like Peter Pan, Scott Larsen breaks societal folkways or even law to serve his own purposes, with little regard for the feelings and rights of others. Scott has little personal integrity and cuts as many corners on quantity or quality of work done as he possibly can, often using a sense of entitlement to justify his behaviors.

Scott will lie, cheat, and steal from others if he feels it will benefit him or his cause.

Oh, they can be gallant at times, and even take up moral causes, but there is always an element of selfishness to their behaviors. They always seek some sort of reward, such as societal status, power, or recognition.

Scott Larsen: Scott can play the gallant man child, and even pretend a moral cause, but there is always an element of selfishness to his behaviors. Scott always seeks some sort of reward, such as societal status, power, recognition or paypal funds.

Scott plays the role of concerned protector, but flies off the handle at anyone who does not believe and do exactly as he says.

When things go wrong, though, they are the first to blame others. This “external locus of control” leads them to shirk responsibility and accountability. Thus, they are quick to manipulate facts and people, saying that the world has done them wrong. However, they are never truly at peace with themselves.

Scott Larsen Evaluation: When things go wrong for Scott, though, he is the first to blame others. Scott’s “external locus of control” leads him to shirk responsibility and accountability. Thus, Scott is quick to manipulate facts and people, saying that that Quixtar has ruined the world. However, Scott is never truly at peace with himself, knowing that at any time someone might find out about his total deception of the Quixtar crowd.

Scott is a master manipulator and forgets the truth himself as he lies so much that he believes them too. Scott is a sick man child who needs psychological help.

Mature behavior, on the other hand, requires the ability to think in an abstract fashion. This takes an ability to comprehend nuances of meaning and to creatively apply principles. It also needs the ability to envision long-range goals, and to use good planning and sequencing skills.

Scott Larsen: Mature behavior, on the other hand, requires the ability to think in an abstract fashion. This takes an ability to comprehend nuances of meaning and to creatively apply principles which is not Scott’s forte. It also needs the ability to envision long-range goals and to use good planning and sequencing skills which Scott Larsen is completely ignorant of.

Scott has no long range goals besides the destruction of Quixtar and any conservative movement. Scott has ruined his life over the last ten years in a hopeless cause. Scott is filled with hate and has lost the ability to comprehend general reasoning.

Mature behavior demands the ability to take other perspectives on a matter, and to weigh all information and possible consequences #) good and bad #) before taking any action. Mature behavior requires a commitment to doing what is right for right's sake, not because it will keep some authority off your back.

Scott Larsen: Mature behavior demands the ability to see the pros and cons on Quixtar, and to weigh all information and possible consequences before jumping to ridiculous conclusions. Mature behavior requires a commitment to doing what is right for right’s sake (like apologizing for all your lies), not because you are scared or to keep out of numerous lawsuits.

Scott Larsen is not interested in improving Quixtar for new members, but in destroying it. Scott wishes to destroy Quixtar because it is a constant reminder of one of his many failures and supports a lifestyle choice that he loathes.

Mature behavior requires the ability and willingness to truly sacrifice for others when the need arises. By the way, it's not truly sacrifice if the giver doesn't set aside personal desires, even needs at times, for the sake of others without any expectation of reward or comeback.

Scott Larsen: Mature behavior requires the ability and willingness to get married and truly sacrifice for a family when the need arises. By the way, it’s not truly sacrifice if you don’t set aside personal desires, even needs at times, for the sake of others without any expectation of personal glory.

Will Scott Larsen ever get married? Who will carry on his worthless cause if he does not have any children? Scott is too busy satisfying immediate personal desires to think about a family and children.

When things go wrong, there is an “internal locus of control” that demands the acceptance of responsibility and the willingness to be fully accountable. The mature person will look inward for the reasons for the failure. This introspection process then leads to personal growth, fewer failures in the future, and psychological peace.

Scott Larsen: When things go wrong, there is an “internal locus of control” that demands the acceptance of responsibility for your numerous failures as a consultant, stock broker and Quixtar expert. The mature person will look inward for the reasons for the failure and not blame successful Quixtar leaders. This introspection process then leads to personal growth, fewer failures in the future, and psychological peace.

Scott will never accept responsibility and that is why he is stuck as a man child and is broke after 40+ years of living. Scott lack of maturity has frozen his results in life to beginning level and he takes out his frustrations on Quixtar. Quixtar leaders represent everything Scott hates: success, recognition, respect, responsibility, families, children, and teamwork.

Quixtar Qrush has analyzed both of our Peter Pan boys. Now it is up to the reader audience to vote on which is the most pathetic Peter Pan clone. Qrush over and out.

The above statements and comments are satire and meant to be funny. Any resemblance of Scott’s life to Peter Pan is mere coincidence as Scott has never been off the internet long enough to actually watch the movie. All of the above is Qrush’s personal opinion. I sure love free speech.

Bo Short & The Peter Pan Man?

Qrush has received numerous emails asking me to expand on the Peter Pan principle and Qrush has decided to analyze Bo Short and his perceived Peter Pan Syndrome. Qrush found a relevant article by doing some research to help my reader audience understand Bo’s mental state better. This article is from an expert in her chosen field (finishing her doctorate) and you would think she wrote this article with Bo Short and Scott Larsen in mind. Qrush will do Scott Larsen next and is asking his reader audience to vote for which of the two Peter Pan boys best exemplify the spirit of Peter Pan’s “Never grow up” attitude. The author’s article will be posted with Qrush’s satiric reinterpretation of article for Bo Short’s specific behavior in blue. Qrush’s comments as always will be in red.

Adult Immaturity: The Peter Pan syndrome
By Grace MacDowell Tuesday, January 3, 2006 9:29 AM EST
“I'm eighteen now. I'm an adult, and I don't need you or anyone else telling me what to do!”

Bo Short Evaluation: “I’m 40+ year old failure and I don’t need anyone else telling me what to do next. I will start another MLM and start another website with former in front of it.”

Qrush: Bo Short refuses to recognize any authority figure in his life and refuses follow any of the basic rules of life and respectable character traits.

I'm sure that many a parent, teacher, or other authority figure has heard this declaration, all the while knowing full-well that the teen may be legally an adult, but is exhibiting far from sufficient maturity to act like an adult.

Bo Short Evaluation: I’m sure that many an upline, business partner, or other authority figure has heard Bo Short’s declaration, all the while knowing full-well that Bo may be legally an adult, but is exhibiting far from sufficient maturity to act like and adult.

Qrush: Bo’s refusal to admit any responsibility for his six time MLM failures is an embarrassment to all who know him. Bo may represent himself as an adult and leader, but anyone who analyzes the facts will quickly learn the truth. Bo has failed as a country music writer, limo driver, insurance sales, Amway, InterNet, ProNet, Quixtar, TIF, and Passport business man.

Physiologically, the human brain is not ready for truly mature behavior until about age 25. Recent neuropsychological research strongly suggests that the frontal cortex, where we make decisions and control our emotions and impulses, is not fully developed until that age. While the potential for mature behavior then exists (the “nature,” or genetic part of the human development equation), the ability to act in such a fashion is grossly shaped by environmental influences (the “nurture” part of the equation that comes from interpersonal interactions).

Bo Short Evaluation: Physiologically, Bo Short’s brain will not mature until he stops livings off his daddy’s income. Recent neuropsychological research strongly suggest that Bo’s dad has had enough of Bo’s former __________(fill in the blank) business games. Bo Short’s growth has been delayed due to lack of any true business experience on Bo Short’s part. While the potential for mature behavior exist (the “nature” or genetic part), the ability to act is grossly shaped by his fathers bailing him out of every painful ordeal Bo gets himself in to. (the “nurture” part of the equation comes from interpersonal interactions and Bo spends too much time on the internet to learn this.)

Qrush: Bo has never had to deal with the pain of failure. Any time he screws up (about every two years) his dad bails him out. Bo is severely lacking in character, honor and integrity due to never having been humbled by his numerous failures.

Unfortunately, too many chronologically older adults haven't “grown up” either, thus doing a poor job of preparing the next generation. These adults want all the power, but little or none of the responsibility, deep sacrifice, and moral structure that are a part of mature adulthood.

Bo Short Evaluation: Unfortunately for any business Bo Short is part of, too many chronic failures like Bo Short haven’t “grown up” either, thus doing a poor job of preparing the next generation for any responsible position. Bo Short wants all the power, but little or none of the responsibility, deep sacrifice, and moral structure that are part of mature adulthood. Bo loves the glory but as soon as a business starts to fail, he quickly identifies whom to blame and places a former next to his name and starts a new website.

Qrush: Name one person that Bo Short has helped to become successful? That’s right after two decades of striving for success himself, Bo and anyone who has ever been stupid enough to follow him have achieved not even a modest level of success. Bo wants all of the glory and is driven to quit anytime he runs into a challenge. When has Bo ever sacrificed in his life? How do all his ex-associates feel when he leaves them high and dry when he quits his various MLM enterprises?

Immature adults more often employ concrete thinking and reasoning. They are quick to demand that boundaries be held for others, but not for them.

Bo Short Evaluation: Bo Short often employs faulty concrete thinking and reasoning. Bo is quick to demand that boundaries be held for others, but not for himself. Bo believes it perfectly acceptable to blame everyone else for his six time failure track record in MLM and accept none of the blame personally.

Qrush: Bo Short has never developed or led any successful enterprise in his life. The only thing he is good at is convincing people temporarily that he has answers. After a few months around Bo everyone figures out that his is full of rhetoric and empty on results. Bo believes it is perfectly acceptable to attack others reputations, but acts with righteous indignation when his motives are questioned.

Like Peter Pan, they break societal folkways or even law to serve their own purposes, with little regard for the feelings and rights of others. They have little integrity, cutting as many corners on quantity or quality of work done as they possibly can, often using a sense of entitlement to justify their behaviors.

Bo Short Evaluation: Like Peter Pan, Bo Short breaks societal folkways or even law to serve his own purposes, with little regard for the feeling and rights of others. Bo has little integrity, cuts as many corners on quantity or quality of work done as he possibly can, often using a sense of entitlement to justify his behaviors.

Qrush: Bo will break any friendship, destroy his own character, and even lie about his former associates to gain an advantage. After six MLM failures the gig is up and no one is buying his BS anymore. Instead of exiting the field in shame, Bo Short increases his rhetoric and makes even more outlandish claims in a futile attempt to generate publicity for his failing enterprises.


Oh, they can be gallant at times, and even take up moral causes, but there is always an element of selfishness to their behaviors. They always seek some sort of reward, such as societal status, power, or recognition.

Bo Short Evaluation: Bo can play the part of the gallant savior, and even pretend a moral cause, but there is always an element of selfishness to his behaviors. Bo always seeks some sort of reward, such as societal status, power, recognition, or paying his mortgage.

Qrush: Bo plays the part of the gallant exposer of evils, when actually he is an opportunist extraordinaire who will stop at nothing to gain publicity. Bo stood for free training until that proved unsuccessful and now is back into a business with training investments. In Bo Short’s case principles change as soon as conditions change. :)

When things go wrong, though, they are the first to blame others. This “external locus of control” leads them to shirk responsibility and accountability. Thus, they are quick to manipulate facts and people, saying that the world has done them wrong. However, they are never truly at peace with themselves.

Bo Short Evaluation: When things go wrong, though, Bo is the first to blame others and jump ship. Bo’s “external locus of control” leads him to shirk responsibility and accountability. Thus, Bo is quick to manipulate facts and people, saying that the world has done him wrong. However, Bo is never truly at peace with how to blame over 9 career failures on everyone else.

Qrush: Bo is the original MLM Bad Boy and manipulates all of the facts to paint himself in good light and all of his former associates in a bad light. After six different MLM failures with different associates in every MLM, it would seem that Bo should attempt a new strategy. Qrush has an idea, how about go build your business and let the facts speak for themselves? :)

Mature behavior, on the other hand, requires the ability to think in an abstract fashion. This takes an ability to comprehend nuances of meaning and to creatively apply principles. It also needs the ability to envision long-range goals, and to use good planning and sequencing skills.

Bo Short’s Evaluation: Mature business behavior, on the other hand, requires the ability to think in an abstract fashion. This takes an ability to comprehend nuances of meaning and to creatively apply principles. It also needs the ability to envision long-range goals, and to use good planning and sequencing skill, which Bo never learns since he quits every business he starts after a couple of years.

Qrush: The only comprehension skills that Bo displays is a unique ability to quickly ascertain who is to blame and develop an exciting new story to tell online. Bo Short counts on his belief that a sucker is born every minute.

Mature behavior demands the ability to take other perspectives on a matter, and to weigh all information and possible consequences (good and bad) before taking any action. Mature behavior requires a commitment to doing what is right for right's sake, not because it will keep some authority off your back.

Bo Short’s Evaluation: Bo needs to learn that mature behavior demands the ability to take other perspectives on a matter, and to weigh all information and possible consequences (good and bad) before taking any action. Bo must learn that mature behavior requires a commitment to doing what is right for right’s sake, not because it will keep some authority of your back.

Qrush: Bo Short had a commitment to the hundreds of people who invested their hard earned money into Passport. Bo’s response when things were tough was to quit again and announce this with a pathetic email. How would you feel if you dedicated a couple of years of your life believing in Bo Short only to find out he is a perpetual quitter?

Mature behavior requires the ability and willingness to truly sacrifice for others when the need arises. By the way, it's not truly sacrifice if the giver doesn't set aside personal desires, even needs at times, for the sake of others without any expectation of reward or comeback.

Bo Short’s Evaluation: Bo must learn that mature behavior requires the ability and willingness to truly sacrifice for other and not just quit every business when it gets tough for him. By the way, it’s not truly sacrifice if Bo Short doesn’t set aside his personal agenda and desires, even needs at times, for the sake of others who believed in him. Bo Short does not sacrifice at all and does everything with an expectation of reward or comeback.

Qrush: Bo Short needs to quit advertising to the rest of the world his numerous failures and focus on one opportunity long enough to prove his many critics wrong. Who in their right mind would advertise themselves as a six time former anything and expect people to treat him credibly? Where is Bo Short's sense of shame?

When things go wrong, there is an “internal locus of control” that demands the acceptance of responsibility and the willingness to be fully accountable. The mature person will look inward for the reasons for the failure. This introspection process then leads to personal growth, fewer failures in the future, and psychological peace.

Bo Short’s Personal Evaluation: When thing go wrong for winners, there is an “internal locus of control” that demands the acceptance of responsibility and the willingness to be fully accountable. The mature person will look inward for the reasons for the failure, but Bo looks outward and blames all of his former associates in over 9 former enterprises. This introspection process leads to personal growth, fewer failures in the future, and psychological peace in a mature person. The lack of the introspection process in Bo Short leads to no personal growth, multiple failures in the future, and psychological unrest for Bo and his minions.

Qrush: Bo exhibits none of the characteristics of a mature person and is a model for the Peter Pan Man. If Bo Short were truly a man of integrity and character he ought to apologize to all the Passport associates he left high and dry and then apologize to the whole MLM industry for his nefarious activities. Bo Short has single handedly done more damage to the MLM industry by his parasite marketing, personal attacks on other leaders, multiple failures as a leader, and general lack of class, than any other group of leaders put together. It is time that the MLM industry rises up in unison and vomits this wasted life out of the public eye until he can prove he walks as well as he talks.

There you have Qrush’s Qrushing evaluation of Bo Short and his Peter Pan Man life. Qrush will finish my Scott Larsen Peter Pan profile and then get back to exposing the fraudulent activities of our two MLM bozos. Qrush over and out.

The above statements and comments are based on my opinions as I seek to understand why a six time MLM failure would advertise this pitiable condition. Qrush is merely seeking for the truth and appreciates freedom of speech in the USA.

Qrush's Readers Vote Scott Larsen 40+ Year Virgin?

Qrush has tallied up the reader emails and is ready to release the reader polled results on why Scott Larsen attacks Quixtar. Qrush is still waiting for Scott Larsen to email his answers to the simple question Qrush asked of him. Why can’t this pitiable waste of a life answer the questions posed of him? After posing as a consumer advocate with a right for the public to know the truth all these years, it seems he would understand his responsibility to come clean. Is the right for the public to know only the right to know what Scott Larsen wants them to know? The public wants to know why Scott Larsen won’t answer the freaking questions. Here are the results of the reader poll.

1. The number one received answer with 71 votes is that Scott Larsen is a 40+ year old virgin with no experience in life and is mad at Quixtar because people are attempting to do something great. Scott is a virgin who has never attempted anything at all and castigates anyone in Quixtar due to his jealous rage at their courage and guts. Some have even claimed that Scott has never kissed a girl.
2. The number two received answer with 36 votes is that Scott Larsen is homosexual and has no clue about a man’s responsibilities to his family. Scott rails against this business because he does not understand faithful commitment to anyone or anything worthwhile. Scott’s minority lifestyle choices should not be the voice of the majority of the people who have responsibilities and promises to keep. Scott is upset that the founders of Amway are Godly, conservative, family oriented leaders and love the USA while Scott hates God, has a liberal lifestyle, hates the nuclear family, hates the USA and lives in Germany.
3. The number three received answer with 17 votes is that Scott Larsen is a Peter Pan man child who hates anyone who has grown up. Scott refuses to grow up and mocks anyone who endeavors to improve their life by building their own business. One emailer believes that Scott is a Peter Pan man child and alternative lifestyle combination, but only Scott would know the truth. Scott would you mind answering the questions so Qrush’s expanding audience can hear directly from you? Perhaps if the questions are too hard you can answer one a day until you are finished?

Quixtar Qrush will be doing another reader survey soon so keep the emails coming. Qrush is proud to be the rest of the story for the achievers in life who are sick and tired of the Bo Short and Scott Larsen charade. Qrush over and out.

The above comments and opinions are based on numerous emails of successful Quixtar IBO’s who love a good laugh and find plenty to laugh at in the lives of Bo Short and Scott Larsen. Qrush believes that the only cure for abuse of freedom of speech is more freedom of speech.

Bo Short & Scott Larsen's First Filthy Fraud

The following is Qrush's satire and is meant to be funny while you learn. :)

Quixtar Qrush will begin my revelations of the fraudulent activities of Bo Short and Scott Larsen with this first piece of evidence. Qrush must build my case and end with the Qrushing expose'. My reader audience will enjoy this education of the fraudently thinking and actions of our two favorite MLM bad boys. Bo Short a six time failure in MLM companies (Amway, Internet, Pronet, TIF, Quixtar, and Passport) in a desperate attempt to boost sagging Passport sales (Passport later folded) sent this letter to Scott Larsen. This is the starting point of the "dishonorable duos" pact with the devil. Qrush will post Bo Short’s letter, Qrush’s satire of letter in blue and as always make Qrush’s comments on letter in red. Qrush loves the internet because you can find the history of these social misfits and all their unfulfilled promises to the fools who believed them.

Resigned Diamond - Bo Short
01/04/2003
Scott,
I received your email the other day and wanted to say hello. I also thought I would share some thoughts with you. I am writing to answer a couple of your questions. My only concern about this being published is that I am not looking to use this forum to promote my business and do not want it to appear so. Therefore, out of respect to the readers of your site, I would ask that you not mention the name of my company.

Scott,
I received your email the other day and wanted to say hello. I desperately need some help to prop my failing Passport business and would like to share some thoughts with you. My only concern is that you won’t post this letter and my business will fail. So please post the letter so I can steal some Quixtar IBO’s. It is my only chance for survival. To give the readers a false sense of my honor I would ask to not post the name of my company directly, just have them search Bo Short or any Quixtar search term and they will find me.

Qrush: Bo Short’s real concern with mentioning the name of the MLM company he worked with at the time is that he knew it would be changing frequently since he is constantly a former (fill in the blank) ________ business owner. Bo has failed at every single business he has attempted and is now reduced to dealing with known and soon to be fully exposed con man Scott Larsen. By not mentioning his company’s name this letter will work in his parasite marketing schemes regardless of how many of his scams fail.

I was involved in the Amway/Quixtar business for approximately 11 years. About a year and a half ago I chose to resign my distributorship. I thought it would be improper to simply go "inactive" and continue to collect money (even though this was recommended by one of the corporate executives).

I was involved in the Amway/Quixtar business for approximately 11 years and had nothing of substance to show for it. About a year and a half ago I chose to resign my distributorship because the pathetic checks were embarrassing my wife. I refused to go inactive because when I get frustrated I have developed the habit of quitting. In fact if Passport starts heading south I will quit this as well. (Bo Short did quit this also) :)

Qrush: Bo Short bounced around Amway/Quixtar for approximately 11 years and in that time was involved in three different training systems. Bo wears out his welcome frequently and runs to his next venture leaving his ex-groupies shafted. Bo Short’s group had dwindled to below platinum when he cut and run so going “inactive” was really not an option.

Let me first say that I met some wonderful people in the Amway business during my tenure. I spent countless nights working with people that were good, hard-working individuals. In fact, the overwhelming number of people I came into contact with seemed genuinely kind. The "brush" that many distributors are painted with is oftentimes unfair.

Let me first say that I met some wonderful people in the Amway business during my fling with the MLM. I spent countless seminars faking to be a leader and bought my diamondship to meet these individuals. In fact, the overwhelming number of people I came into contact with seemed genuine and nothing like the way you paint them Scott. The “brush” that many IBO’s are painted with is unfair unless it benefits me.

Qrush: Bo Short is in his glory here and loves blowing smoke up your arse so he can convince people he is a credible person in business. Hey Bo, where are your results after all these years in MLM? Bo Short closed Passport and has started over completely yet again. Who in their right mind would want to be in business with a six time MLM failure? It is Bo Short and his henchman that attempt to paint every diamond with the same brush which contradicts what he said here.

There were a number of reasons I chose to resign. The overwhelming reason was based on the fact that after 11 years in "the business" I did not see enough people succeeding. While I firmly believe in education and training, I do not see its value if it does not have a wider-reaching effect. While I believe in a training system, if it does not produce sufficient results...dismantle it. I felt that there was entirely too much emphasis on the training system as a "business" in itself.

I can find any number of reasons for choosing to quit. I have made a lifetime habit of quitting, just look at my track record. I did not see enough people succeeding and instead of growing and changing personally and changing the culture of business I attacked Quixtar and their leaders. While I firmly believe in education and training for the other guy, I am convinced I am perfect and my few yes men, Ty Tribble (Dribble) and Dave Stone (Stoner), feed this delusion. While I believe in a training system, I have never successfully built one myself and am talking out of my arse to even represent myself like I do.

Qrush: Bo Short’s main reason for resigning is because his business stunk worse than rotten fish. What is so credible about a man who admittedly faked his diamond pin, lost 90%+ of his group and after 11 years was making less than $1000 per month? Bo Short didn’t see anyone succeeding in his group not even himself. What was the wider-reaching effect of Passport’s training system? How did all your great new ideas work in Passport? (Answer: Total and complete failure)

I watched good, ambitious people start to blame themselves for their lack of success. Twelve years ago, I might have understood that argument, but a decade of experience taught me that there is more to it than that. One more meeting, one more plan, is not necessarily the answer. I believe there are fundamental flaws that are common within many network-marketing organizations. In my opinion, I do not think that this particular organization is exempt from many of those same flaws.

I watched good, ambitious people start to look inward and ask themselves how they could change. I had to stop this as they might expect me to look inward and admit my ego is blown totally out of proportion to any results I have ever achieved in life. Someone might actually ask me to stop living off my daddy Duke's name and credibility and actually accomplish something on my own. Every network I was involved with had the same fundamental flaw and that was the poor leadership, poor character, and poor results of mine. I have flubbed everything I have done in life but will continue to deny any responsibility and hope that this letter draws a few very ignorant people into my web.

Qrush: Perhaps Bo Short ought to starting placing some of the blame on his miserable failure of a life on himself and not constantly blame others for his six time MLM failures. Qrush could use the same argument, one more MLM, one more product is not necessarily the answer. I believe the fundamental flaw with all six MLM’s that Bo Short was involved with is that Bo Short was involved. No matter how far Bo Short runs, wherever he runs to he finds that he is still there. As long as Bo Short is there you can pretty much assume you have a recipe for disaster. Don’t take Qrush’s word for it, do your own research, but whatever you do make sure Bo Short answers why every business he touches sinks like the Titanic. Even rats don’t climb on his ship anymore why should you?

Having attempted to cause change in areas that I believed were needed, and failed, I found myself with only one option. Resignation. My loyalty was always to the independent business owners in my particular line of sponsorship. If I no longer believed that this business was going to accomplish what I was taught it would, then I could not represent it any longer. My loyalties were never to the small group of "success stories", but to the people that I had met in "living rooms" for the past 11 years.

Having attempted to cause change and failing I decided to quit vs. try and try again. I don’t have time for personal change as I am all about the glamour and glitz. This is why my results are so poor, because real leaders my struggle, stretch and grow. The reason I have been involved with six separate companies is that I become disgruntle and start playing the blame game. I have no loyalties outside of my own edification and glory.

Qrush: Bo Short attempts to cause change by screaming, yelling and blaming others. Bo even admits he failed here. Bo no longer believes in a business about once every two years on average. If you get in business with him, then plan on a short term gig. Bo Short’s loyalties lie with Bo Short and no one else. Again look at his track record.

Having gained a great deal of insight and experience in this industry I would offer the following: I believe that many mlm companies overprice their products, offer compensation plans that, while they may look lucrative, only pay out to a very small minority, and rely entirely too much on training as the "magic bullet".

Having failed in many MLM’s I would offer this insight: Stay away from any business with me in it. I, (Bo Short) have failed more times in MLM than Elizabeth Taylor has failed in marriage. I am going to sell you some BS now, but trust me this will fail in a few years as well. (Passport did fail as predicted)

Qrush: Bo Short has not gained any experience in MLM. In order to gain experience you must learn something and Bo Short continues to make rookie mistakes. Bo Short promised Passport would revolutionize the MLM industry and yet it is another failed MLM just as Qrush predicted.

I believe that if you offer people a "real" home-based business (so people do not spend their lives in convention centers and hotels), with a limited number of products (so people do not feel guilty for shopping at stores), price the products to compete with retails stores, and have a comp plan that puts the bulk of the money in reach of the average ambitious person's effort, then you cannot help but succeed. Additionally, I believe that ones individual efforts should not always be shared in the comp plan with their upline. That is why we instituted the Out-of-Plan compensation. Only the first $85 personally generated is put in the mlm compensation. Anything beyond that (monthly) is paid in the form of a 50% bonus directly to the associate. (Example: if you personally generate $250 in volume you receive a bonus check for $82.50; $250-$85 =$165; 50% of $165 = $82.50) I also believe that training should be at or near its cost...its real cost.

I don’t believe any of the following but I hope some poor sucker does, so I can pay off the hefty loan I have to start this pitiable business I am in. Here is what I promise to anyone who will get involved with me in Passport. I will give you a worthless title like CEO, VP of Sales and when we close the doors I will let you in on my latest and greatest best thing in the world MLM. Deal?

Qrush: This whole paragraph is describing a business that has closed its doors. Bo had all these allegedly great ideas and yet Passport was his biggest failure yet. How he has the gall to represent himself as a business man let alone a successful one is an incredible stretch. Bo Short has been examined under the light of logic and found lacking in all essential reasoning skills.

The compensation plan, products, and the experience itself should offer value to its participants. If it does not, it is not a "good deal".

The compensation plan, products and the leaders themselves should be battle tested with proven results and since I have none of the above my business will fail.

Qrush: Exactly Bo and that is why your pathetic business failed.

Three important questions people should answer, who are involved in a mlm are:
1. How long have you been in?
2.How much do you spend each year learning (books, tapes, seminars) how to do it?
3. What was your last bonus check? If you are only attracted to the social aspect of your business then the answers do not matter. However, if your rationale is business-driven then your answers mean a great deal.

Three important questions people should answer before getting involved with me:
1. How long will I stay in the new business before I become disgruntle and blame someone maybe even you.
2. Have I ever helped anyone who has ever worked with me achieve even a minimal amount of financial success? Is anyone working with me financially independent?
3. What were the bonus checks amounts for my Passport group? Passport has failed now and it would be easy to release this information, but I will probably dodge this question and bash any of my six former MLM’s vs. face the facts that I stink.

Qrush: Let’s answer the questions for Bo Short.
1. Bo has been trying MLM’s for over 15 years with no long term success.
2. Bo spends a fortune on parasite marketing and is rumored to owe money to former friends.
3. What was Bo Short’s last Passport bonus check or did you never receive any money for this failed venture? Bo Short has failed six times so the answer must not have been good on six different occasions.

I hope this has been helpful and clarified some of your questions. I wish you nothing but the best of luck. I look forward to speaking with you sometime. Do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
Bo Short

I hope this has been helpful in painting me in the best of light and making a friend with Scott Larsen. I have plans for you Scott and no one will ever discover our fraudulent activity. I am sure no one would work so hard (like Qrush) to discover the facts. Do not hesitate to call since we have plenty of scheming to do.
Disgustingly,
Bo Short

Qrush hopes this has been helpful in clarifying the incompetence and parasite marketing beginnings of Bo Short. Bo Short was shocked that back in 2003 some people believed his lies and that started the beginning of the fraud perpetrated by Bo Short and Scott Larsen. This began the fraudulent activities of Bo Short and Scott Larsen. Both began asking how they could expand this heinous partnership to aid and abet in their attempted destruction of Quixtar for the benefit of their devious plans. Much, much more, so much more to follow. Qrush over and out.

The above comments and statements are satire and are meant to be funny and laugh at the original MLM bad boy Bo Short. Bo Short is desperately in need of cash and he would appreciate any victim thinking bottom feeders to contact him and join up in his latest scam before he moves on again. Qrush won't bother mentioning the MLM's name since I would then have to go and update this in a couple of years. :)

Scott Larsen & The 40 Year Old Virgin?

Qrush is doing a reader survey. Scott Larsen knows that Qrush is aware of the truth and that is why Scott still refuses to answer the deadly questions. Qrush will begin to reveal Scott Larsen’s frauds and deceptions later this week, but would like to get the opinion of my growing fan club. I thank my fans for the outpouring of support and encouragement as I expose this doggedly deviant person. Qrush must answer one question that continues to pop up in emails. Unlike my critic friends, Qrush will remain a free website. Qrush refuses to setup a pay pal account and collect the large potential donations to run this site. Many of the negative Quixtar sites are being funded by quitters, complainers, and competitors. How neutral of a site can that be? Qrush started this as a short term hobby and I have become engrossed with the two faced hypocritical stance of Scott Larsen. I will not accept money to expose the truth and question what type of consumer advocate Scott is, when he accepts money to run his website from Quixtar hating zealots. Qrush will gladly exit the field when the truth is exposed and the wrongs righted.

Scott Larsen continues to blunder and reveal his true motives and now there is dissension in the ranks of the critics. Scott, the viewing audience would respect you much more if you answered the questions like a man. Scott will be exposed either way, but in the interest of fair play Qrush has given him ample time to answer the questions before the exposure begins. Scott Larsen represents himself as a consumer advocate with a right to judge the moral positions of Quixtar and their leaders. Qrush thinks it is strange that no one has ever asked Scott Larsen to come clean with his moral position and basis of his authority in this matter. When someone presumes to become the authority figure with the facts on a business they are not a part of, then Qrush feels a corresponding responsibility to ask why Scott Larsen feels qualified to be the judge and jury. There are a few things necessary to be a proper judge and advocate in this matter:

1. Personal results in the Quixtar business – Scott has no personal results in Quixtar and was only active for a couple of months. Never having any experience or achieving any level of success makes Qrush wonder how Scott presumes to pontificate about the Quixtar leaders?
2. Personal results in any business – Scott has no business success period and has failed as a business consultant and as a home stock broker. Scott attempted to leave his job, but had to crawl back into work after his latest failure. Never achieving any success in any business makes Qrush wonder how Scott presumes to address business issues in any field.
3. Personal success or credibility in his own field – Scott is a middle aged man in an entry level position with no supervisory level authority. Scott’s big achievement at work is to maintain his job by competing with people half his age with the same level of responsibility. Never achieving any success in life makes Qrush wonder how Scott presumes to converse on success at all. Scott holds no positions of respect in the engineering community and holds no special certifications that Qrush can find. The only thing Scott is qualified to teach successfully is how to blow a talented life in a worthless vendetta.
4. Pillar of success in his community – Scott is an expatriated engineer living outside of his home country. Scott provides no time or energy to support any community in the United States and bashes those who do. Scott has bounced around from community to community and has never developed roots anywhere.

Scott is not operating from a basis of credibility, therefore; the only possible conclusion is Scott Larsen has a personal vendetta and agenda against Quixtar. There are three major potential reasons for Scott Larsen’s vendetta and his agenda can only be discovered by delving into Scott’s personal life, since he does not have the professional life to warrant his consumer advocate position. Qrush is not interested in everyone’s personal life, but when someone plays the role as an expert when they have no results it begs the question as to why? Why does Scott Larsen spend over eight years of his life attacking a business that he has no: results in, credibility in, money in, or commitment in? Here are the three potential personal life scenarios for Scott Larsen:

1. First Potential Role: Scott Larsen is a non-married heterosexual who is carrying on sexual relationships outside of marriage. Scott is morally judging other people’s behavior even though he is a mid-40’s male who has never carried on a long term relationship with a member of the opposite sex. Perhaps Scott Larsen is just a Peter Pan syndrome man child who once signed up into Amway. When Scott learned that it would take a commitment to succeed he ran from this like he has run his whole life. Scott’s behavior fits the classic Peter Pan model and when forced to confront his behavior he responded with attacks on the perceived father figures. Scott’s whole website is just one large attack from a man child who refuses to accept responsibility for his own life. Scott’s attacks are motivated by revenge and jealousy from those achieving results in a grown up world that Scott cannot comprehend let alone achieve success in. If this is the true role, then Scott is not in a position to judge or evaluate anyone else’s behavior let alone business. This is option number one.
2. Second Potential Role: Perhaps Scott Larsen is a homosexual male who is carrying on relationships outside of marriage. Scott is morally judging other people’s behavior even though he is a mid-40’s male who is out of touch with the majority of the people researching Quixtar as a potential option. Scott Larsen is a man with no responsibility to any other human being, practicing a minority lifestyle and presumes to speak for the majority. Scott’s personal lifestyle is his choice, but researchers of Quixtar deserve to know the honest truth of Scott’s motives. Perhaps Scott Larsen is motivated to destroy the Quixtar business due to its founders (DeVos and VanAndel’s) stances on conservative values. Perhaps Scott Larsen is a Liberal Activist who wishes to destroy the nuclear family which represents a lifestyle choice in opposition to his own. Scott’s anger is vented at anyone achieving success in Quixtar contrary to Scott’s personal wishes. This would explain his hatred of the Business Support Materials as it teaches a more conservative, God fearing, responsibility based lifestyle choice which is against Scott’s liberal activist, man child victim mentality. If this is the true role, then Scott is not in a neutral position to judge or evaluate anyone else’s behavior let alone business. This is option number two.
3. Third Potential Role: Scott Larsen is the model person for the movie The 40 Year Old Virgin. :) Scott has maintained a celibate lifestyle all these years and has been preoccupied with saving people from Quixtar to develop healthy, normal, face to face relationships with members of the opposite sex. Scott is morally pure and castigates other people for falling below the bar he has set for his personal life. :) Scott is angry that other men have developed relationships with women and have gone on to be responsible members of society with children and more respectable hobbies. Scott attacks people who are divorced because he is upset that he could not convince anyone to date him let alone marry him. No wonder Scott advises people to not try the Quixtar business, because Scott Larsen has not successfully tried anything in life. Perhaps Qrush’s reader audience can help Scott find a date and give the poor man child some time off from his full time hobby. Qrush wonders if Scott Larsen was contacted for advice on the hit movie and whether he is receiving royalty payments from the producers of the movie. :) If this is the true role, then Scott has no experience to judge or evaluate anyone else’s behavior let alone business. This is option number three.

These are the three options on the table. Qrush is giving his reader audience an opportunity to vote on the choice you feel best represents Scott’s motives and role. Qrush is giving Scott Larsen yet another opportunity to come clean with our ever increasing reader audience. Scott is either a Peter Pan man child, Liberal Activist, or the poster boy for The 40 Year Old Virgin. Qrush must ask the tough question: Are any of these three options someone you should entrust your future career path too? Is this the financial mentor anyone should be listening too? If Scott will reveal the truth about himself, then Qrush will not embarrass Scott with my discoveries. If Scott does not reveal the truth then Qrush’s will play the cards he has been given. Qrush will have the corresponding facts to back up all the claims this time. Scott Larsen should know that dodging questions, character assassinating those who question him, and changing the subject are not proper responses from an alleged consumer advocate. Why is it so hard for Scott Larsen to answer the questions truthfully? Qrush over and out.

The above comments and statements are based on my opinions and experiences as we seek to learn more about Scott Larsen’s motives. Qrush is in no way attacking Scott personally, but merely seeking the truth. Qrush believes that the Quixtar community deserves to know the truth about Scott Larsen.

What is Scott Larsen Hiding?

Why is Scott Larsen refusing to answer Qrush’s questions? Qrush has received over 50 emails asking versions of this question. What is so hard to answer about the questions Qrush has asked? Does Scott honestly not know what his motivation is to spend 12-16 hours per day in front of his computer bashing Quixtar? Perhaps Scott’s real problem is how to answer the questions and maintain his façade when Qrush knows the real truth about our hypocrite friend. Qrush went on record stating that I would Qrush Scott Larsen and his double life. Qrush is merely setting the stage for his stunning revelations on Scott Larsen and his double life.

Qrush remembers when I asked Bo Short some basic questions about his Passport business. Data like sales revenue and profit seemed to be beyond Bo Short’s capability to reply even though he demanded answers from Quixtar. Bo Short refused to answer any questions about sales or profits, because he knew his enterprise was sinking faster than the Titanic. Bo Short lost the credibility and respect of any serious business person and his business closed its doors a year later. (How many businesses can Bo Short fail at and still represent himself as a successful business man? :) Why is Scott Larsen following the path of Bo Short? (How many lies of Scott Larsen can be exposed and still present himself as a consumer advocate?) Does Scott Larsen know he is stuck? Think about it. If Scott answers the questions truthfully, everyone will be upset at the level of lies Scott heaped on the Quixtar network. If Scott answers with his list of lies and deceit then Qrush will fully expose his deceit before my reader audience. The only reasonable course of action for a liar who is being exposed is to refuse to answer the questions, which not coincidently, is exactly what Scott Larsen has done.

Scott Larsen credibility is at an all time low and it is time for Scott to come clean with everyone involved with his deception, both pros and cons. Scott needs to explain his obsession with successful Quixtar diamonds and how this fits in with his personal lifestyle choices. Scott Larsen, answer the questions or exit the field in shame.

1. Why have you worked on a negative web site since 1998 actively designed to attack Quixtar or anyone affiliated with Quixtar?

2. Have you ever been offered or accepted money to work on your website?

3. If this is truly a website run for free and fun, then why not get a fun part time job and make some money with your internet skills?

4. When do you think enough is enough? Will you do this for the rest of your life or until what?

5. What makes you feel qualified to speak on the Quixtar business when you were active for less than one year?

6. How have you raised the money, for your legal bills in at least two lawsuits against you, on an engineer’s salary?

7. If you are such a stock investor genius, claiming to have figured out the market, then why did you go back to work?

8. Have you ever posted under multiple identities to give the illusion that many people are upset when it is actually just you?

9. Have you ever done anything else that would be considered illegal, underhanded or fraudulent pertaining to your website?

10. How many active websites and blogs are you moderating?

Qrush over and out.

The above comments are based on my opinions and experiences of a sorry individual that is learning he enjoys dishing it out more than receiving the same in kind.

Qrush Exposing Scott Larsen's Double Standard

Qrush is a prophet when it comes to the Quixtar Critics. Qrush broke the story over a year before it actually occurred that Bo Short’s Passport was failing and would close. Now in a repeat performance, Qrush will expose Scott Larsen as a fraud and the rest of the Quixtar (Pros & Cons) will learn the real facts. Qrush must have patience and reveal the truth slowly to enjoy the full effect of Scott Larsen’s conundrum. Just as a killer whale plays with
