    • Marco Moukhaiber, a former concert promoter turned YouTube vigilante, was in his condo in Edmonton, Alberta, in the summer of 2020 when he decided IM was his next target. He’d built a 93,000-person YouTube following with the release of video exposés of MLMs including health insurance company Primerica Inc. and telecom company ACN, and he’d already received cease-and-desist letters and threats of legal action from a few. Now his followers were directing him to IM. After weeks of research, Moukhaiber pretended to be interested in the platform and secretly recorded a recruiter telling him what IM had to offer.
      • Six months later, on Feb. 8, 2021, Moukhaiber released a 40-minute YouTube video, exposing Terry’s MLM history and the unsubstantiated claims IM consistently made about young adults getting rich from it. The video described the hundreds of thousands of young people who’d been left penniless and humiliated. Within a few days, it had clocked 590,000 views.
      • Terry sued Moukhaiber for defamation. The YouTuber couldn’t afford a drawn-out legal battle, so he settled, agreeing not to make any more videos about IM. But the damage to the company was done. Videos were circulating by former IM subscribers denouncing the harm the company had inflicted on teenagers around the world.
