Quixtar Files suit against MonaVie?
well not actually... it's just a lie from "Insider"

insider_sm.jpg (5320 bytes)Our good buddy and self proclaimed Amway expert David Steadson over at "thetruthaboutamway.com"   has started a great new false rumor using the headline  "Quixtar files suit against MonaVie ".  If you read the headline and then his forum, one might falsely conclude the two MLM companies might now be going to court to contest distributors that have left Quixtar to go to sell the juice over at MonaVie. 

Streadson links to a site, justia.com, that describes the action as a motion to compel.    If David had done his homework he would have found out that a motion to compel is quite different from a lawsuit.  

I was curious as to what Quixtar was trying to compel MonaVie to do, so I looked up the action on Pacer.  The action is no more than Quixtar petitioning the court to get MonaVie to comply with a subpoena pdf_icon.gif (914 bytes) from an arbitration case Quixtar vs. Merritt et all.Case No. 33 155 Y 000049 07 with the American Arbitration Association.  Hey where are Quixtar's own trained arbitrators, JAMS? 

So Quixtar is not suing Mona Vie, as Mr. Steadson might like his readers to believe.   I contacted David's arch nemesis Lawdawg, and he also confirmed that a motion to comply is not a lawsuit.   

It's interesting that Steadson can be a self proclaimed expert on what constitutes an illegal pyramid scheme in a country where he was not even a citizen, yet cannot differentiate between a motion to compel and normal lawsuit. 

It's funny how Steadson can call me a liar for holding a different opinion about the interpretation of pyramiding laws, yet say that someone is being sued when they are in fact not being sued.

Is Mr. Steadson not the keen legal analyst he would want us to believe, or is he here just lying?

Eat crow David.......
