This guy does a pretty good job of exposing the scam. It's basically a bunch of people who have dropped a bunch of dough on seminars and training materials and they're trying to refer other people to sign up for these expensive courses so they can get referral fees and recoup their own lost expenses from the courses. Sounds like a really bad MLM.
What finally got me to do the search was when I was driving home from work and a guy had the "Investor Seeks Apprentice" message written in grease pen on his rusted out 30-year-old Ford Ranger. It didn't look like someone who's throwing around hundreds or thousands of dollars.
