Bo Short and Passport - The Missing Data?

Quixtar Qrush wonders why Bo Short of Passport is unwilling to disclose important data regarding Passport results to date. Passport has been in business now for three years, which is long enough to show at least a little bit of success. Think about it. How can an MLM recruit new members if it is unwilling or unable to share information as to the results likely to be expected? Qrush assumes that Bo Short owns a calculator and knows how to use it (add, subtract, etc.) so I believe Passport is able to share results but is unwilling to share results. It's too bad that after 3 years Bo Short is so embarrassed about the Passport results that he is ashamed to admit Passport has failed, no matter how you measure it.

When Bo Short talks about Quixtar or the MLM industry in general, he usually has diarrhea of the mouth, blabbing about all the problems with the industry, yet he never seems to apply his suggestions to Passport. Qrush believes this to be hypocrisy at its worst.

For example, Bo Short is quoted as saying, “I am not a fan of many companies within this industry. I see too many people spend too much money only to be disappointed in their results.” This sounds good but if Bo actually believed it he would disclose Passport information so that prospects would know what they are getting into so that they would not be disappointed. This lack of official Passport data also leaves lots of room for Passport Associates to exaggerate results since there is no official company literature stating average results. Is this intentional?

Bo Short also said, “Tell the truth. If someone asks you, ‘How much money are you making?’ do not say, ‘You wouldn't believe it if I told you. Simply tell the truth!” It appears here Bo is big on telling the truth, but again he doesn’t apply this to Passport recruiting tactics. If he did, he would be disclosing exactly how many active Passport Associates there are (including his definition of an active Associate) and he would be disclosing exactly how much money the average Associate earns (including how he has calculated this figure). Apparently Bo Short should be saying “hide the truth.”

And in a third example, Bo Short, critisizing the behavior of a Quixtar Diamond, said, "...Maybe this is why people follow blindly. They are asked to simply “...do it on total faith.” Well Bo, what facts do you supply a Passport prospect before they join? Absent of any Passport data, aren't you expecting a Passport prospect to join "on faith alone?" Is Qrush the only one that finds Bo's behavior to by hypocritical?

It seems Passport’s number one goal lately is to shut down the Qrush website to keep me quiet. I have been threatened with lawsuits and have even been physically threatened by its leaders. Instead of trying to shut down my website, why doesn’t Passport simply answer the questions I post?

Here are a few basic questions that Bo Short can work on answering if he wishes to gain any kind of respect in the MLM industry, unless of course, the answers to these questions make him the laughing stock of his industry.

1. How long do you stay with the sinking ship?

2. Will Bo speak honestly with IBO's about his debtload?

3. Will Bo speak honestly about his wife paying the bills?

4. What is the refund policy on the garage full of products?

5. Is Bo still actively looking for a buyer and where does that leave IBO's?

6. Why wasn't Bo honest about his pin working in Quixtar (for soooooo long)?

7. Can Bo Short still have character and leadership after so many questionable activities (I did not have sexual relations with that woman)?

8. Is anyone in Passport truly making money after expenses?

9. Why doesn't Bo speak honestly about his sales revenue?

10. Are other Passport IBO's tired of the fluff and looking for real data from Bo?

11. Who is the Sweat family and what are their intentions on their loan to Bo?

Qrush hopes that people out there considering joining Passport will first get a few questions answered and not blindly sign up on faith alone. And if you want additional information about Bo Short, you can find it here. Qrush over and out.

The above statements are based on my opinions and experiences as I expose Bo Short as someone who doesn’t want Passport prospects to know the truth about his failing company.
