Of the two main UK companies, Kleeneze the brand name and IP was bought by a large company who is using it on the high street to sell cleaning products such as brushes, dustpans and similar items.
A lot of the Kleeneze distributors split off into various other networking companies such as Avon and Oriflame although the original UK MD set up his own company and a number of people including myself joined that. 3 years later we are still going and IMO getting better all the time, but I'm biased.
Betterware the 2nd UK company, again someone bought the IP and set up their own catalogue company although they seem to have recently decided to change it from a catalogue company to mainly working online with only small special catalogues being printed. Personally I much prefer to work with catalogues but everyone to their own. I'm probably old fashioned.
No idea on Agel, the Australian Spice Company or the other UK company sorry, but as far as I am aware they are still shut down and probably never going to return.

I have just been told about this on a facebook group, very interesting, this is the only post I have found so far so i will keep looking and try to find more details. $3.2 million between 6 of them and it states no more action can be taken against them, which is the only downside.

Off topic but a number of former Kleeneze distributors are spamming people about CashFX, tellling everyone who will listen it's massive and they have taken out thousands of pounds, well they have stopped paying out now, it looks like they are about to collapse.

From what I understand the sisters are effectively skint, so IF true I suppose your principles are ignored if you can't pay the bills.
If I remember correctly the original sale of Longaberger was partly or fully paid for in JrJr shares rather than cash, so unless they sold them all, which they may not have been allowed to do so, they are now worthless.
It must have cost a fortune to take the Rochons / JrJr33 to court and even though they won, with the company going bankrupt I presume they will be at the back of the long list of creditors and have no chance of getting their costs paid, so presumably they have had to pay their side of the costs themselves.
Therefore the speculation and I'm not saying it's true, is one of if not both sisters had to do a deal to become the public face of XCel / Longaberger.

So interesting news, it seems the Trustees of Longaberger have filed an Adversary Complaint against the Rochon's and all the previous directors of JrJr33 for "Thorough self dealing, gross incompetence and gross mismanagement, John P Rochon, with the help of his children, pillaged and decimated more than a dozen companies under his control. Exorbitant insider management fees and expenses destroyed any significant asset value of the Debtors and their affiliates........"
It includes Michael Bishop who allegedly filed a lawsuit against JrJr33 himself for $1 million. The interesting thing is Bishop is currently incarcerated in a Texas jail.
I suspect the Rochon's will still get away with it and this will fail but hopefully not.

Natura bought Avon. It is hard to believe that John Rochon thought he (CVSL) could buy Avon. Looking back, that is so laughable.
Look at all these bankruptcies/failures on their record:
U.S. Bankruptcy Court Northern District of Texas (Dallas)
Bankruptcy Petition number: 18-32123-sgj7
JRJR33, Inc.
U.S. Bankruptcy Court Northern District of Texas (Dallas)

The Longaberger Company
Texas Eastern Bankruptcy Court in Tyler Texas

Did JGB Collateral, LLC, recover their money?
NuKote, Marketing Specialists, Richmont Direct, Pure, Rochon Brands. The list goes on.

So much CRAZY *hit is happening. Betterware had their "big comeback" only to shiyt down in about 5 days. Rachel Longaberger is posting on social n=media that she wants to re-start the Longaberger Company. People are alegedly working again at Longaberger and nobody know WTH they are even working for. Youngevity is looking more and more like a more long, drawn out version of JRJR Networks and there is speculatin that the Rochons are still involved with it. All the stull JGB got as a result of their secured loan has been shut down with the exception of John Rochons SIL who has Happenings Magazine- very curious to see that JGB has sued and positioned ownership over everything, but choos to let John's relative just go ahead and run HER business. This is all a HUGE scam of which we all atill know nothing. It is far from over. The Rochons ripped off many people and amassed a huge fortune. They are going back in soon, and when they do, you are going to see shares of CVSL rise from .007 to 38 bucks, just like it did from Computer Visions Systems Laboratories when they acquired Longaberger and became Channel Value Systems Leadership.
