  FHTM's fraud pretended to run like a business"...Robert FitzPatrick

"SKAPEGOAT" a fraud whistle-blower's memoir

Skapegoat the FHTM Blame Game StoryThis compelling story is about a successful semi-retired entrepreneur that turned fraud whistle-blower after getting involved with an MLM called Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing (FHTM) back in 2009. Top FHTM leaders, and its founder Paul Orberson, tried to destroy his life, after he created a FREE Facebook style tool-set for the network marketing industry. Shortly thereafter the "blame game" begins, when he was made the global scapegoat for everything bad happening to FHTM. Mr. Isaacs is then hit with a frivolous and bogus Federal lawsuit claiming a trademark violation for marks (IP) they never owned. The stress of the harassing litigation caused multiple life-threatening heart attacks, which almost caused his death in 2011. This story will keep you mesmerized by the deceit, sexual harassment, lies, judicial manipulation, influence peddling and the drama that unfolds over the next couple of years.

Isaacs' personal courage and determination finally prevailed. Several states and the federal government have now concurred with his earliest claims that the company is an illegal pyramid scheme and should be shut down. It is even possible some FHTM executives could go to jail. Sadly, the government allowed the fraud to run for more than 10 years and to swindle more than 500,000 households of hundreds of millions of dollars before it decisively acted.

For those who have grasped the facts about MLM schemes yet are still seeking irrefutable evidence, this book should be read. For those who are investigating MLM and may still believe it might offer a viable income opportunity, this book will save them incalculable time and money.

According to Robert FitzPatrick, "The people, above all others, who should read it are government regulators and politicians. When they hear of complaints or arguments about MLM fraud, yet they are still swayed by company claims of honesty and economic opportunity, this book will open their eyes to the truth of the consumer complaints. If they already suspect MLM is a scam, yet perhaps not so serious to warrant a major investigation, the book will show the extent of damage that such a fraud is doing to the American public. In "Skapegoat", Joe Isaacs is all of us."
