Internet critic Scott Larsen has apologized to Jody
Victor for
reporting false and inaccurate information about
Jody, his family and his business, information that
has now been withdrawn from Larsen’s Web site. This
is a milestone and, we hope, a precedent which Mr.
Larsen and other critics will bear in mind in the
future.
As
you may recall, IBO Leaders Jody Victor and Billy
Florence recently sent Mr. Larsen reasonable but
strongly worded letters demanding that all of these
inaccuracies be withdrawn from Larsen’s Web site and
that he cease what appeared to be malicious behavior.
In
response to Jody Victor’s first letter, Mr. Larsen
did remove much of the offending information about
Mr. Victor promptly, and then submitted a list of
questions to Mr. Victor for which responses were
provided in the “Jody Victor second letter”
referenced below. In response to Mr. Florence’s
letter, also below, Mr. Larsen made corrections to
his pages, albeit without apology.
While Mr. Larsen has now issued an
apology to Mr. Victor, he also continues to pepper
Jody with additional questions about his business
and personal life, insisting on intruding in a
business with which he has had very little personal
involvement. Larsen was only an IBO himself ten
years ago, and for a very short period of time.
The IBOAI felt that visitors to this
site, and most certainly all of our IBOs, should
have access to these letters. The communications
also reference and are accompanied by supporting
letters from
Amway Global / Quixtar that correct some of the
inaccuracies posted by Larsen. It is also worth
noting that, while Mr. Larsen claims in his
responses that part of his ignorance stems from
alleged Amway Global / Quixtar non-response to his inquiries, the
fact remains that he never contacted the IBO leaders
who he criticized and damaged online until they
contacted him to insist on corrections. We believe
that Mr. Larsen’s lack of credibility and true
motives have now clearly been demonstrated and that
anyone who reads his past or future allegations
“should consider the source.” We also know
that any IBO leader, and the IBOAI’s leadership,
will always
be willing to answer questions posed by those who
love the business as we do – but that they would be
foolish to spend vast amounts of time responding to
the never-ending questions of someone who has no
involvement whatsoever in the Amway Global / Quixtar-powered
business opportunity.
