Bioperformance President Lowell Mims Takes The Stand
WESH:
(Bioperformance) Company President Lowell Mims was advised by his attorney not to take the stand, but he did it anyway.

He's been dealing with big problems since our WESH 2 I-Team reports first aired three weeks ago.

In court on Wednesday, Mims admitted that he has made enough money from BioPerformance to pay off his house in full, to buy a new Hummer for $90,000 and to buy a pair of Rolex watches -- one for his wife and one for himself for $60,000.

Mims showed a different side of himself in court -- one that was more subdued and serious.

The state estimates that Mims has made approximately $5 million off of BioPerformance.

"So, you're telling me you're able to operate your entire company on 10 percent of your total revenue and it's not a pyramid? An illegal pyramid?" Assistant Texas Attorney General John Owen asked Mims.

"It is not an illegal pyramid," Mims said.

Hello;
I want to respond to the insinuations and outright deceptions in regards to the BioPerformance trial. I am speaking as a very pleased distributor- not a company spokesman. Lowell Mims invested millions of $$$ up front to purchase the distributions rights for the fuel additive and built distribution and production facilities. I always received product that I ordered and received commissions checks as promised. The only barrier to receiving product and commission checks owed me is the Temporary Restraining Order that the Texas AG slapped on Bio before even holding a hearing. The AG froze all shipping of product and mailing of commission checks earned by distributors. I have several hundred $$$ sitting in the bank in Texas that I can't get to because of the Texas AG's rush to judgement. Is this even legal for those who have earned the monies?!
I am confident that the truth of this awesome company will surface in a BIG way once the next hearing is completed.

Class Action Suit, Anyone?

I lost all my money and was shipped an illegal toxin labeled as non-toxic. And I want it all back, with damages.

These guys need to be put in jail to protect the public in the future.

OK, the deal is that AT LEAST Lowell Mims has been in trouble with states' Attorneys General before, and basically skated out with his money before the scam was discovered and the illegal MLM was closed down.

This is the situation/scenario I believe the Texas AG is trying to prove. That is, Mims and Romero planned to drain the company of most of its millions just before the pills were shown to be worthless, and the company forced to close down. (It will truly be the height of irony if they get thrown in prison because they overlooked the teeny tiny incidental that the pills are a banned poison they were shipping as non toxic, instead of being convicted of running a scam).

So where are the class action attorneys - I'll join, and I'll head up the posse to get others to join. Shouldn't be hard to prove these bozos and most of the initial bigwigs, including his most holiness DOC FOG, based on their history, were engaged in the MLM equivalent of pump and dump.

Anybody know a good class action attorney? This is a call to arms!!

Livid in Sacramento!!


All I can say is I feel for all the poor people that genuinely believe in this guy, it was a scam from day one. Great cover though, as everyone would believe in a preacher! lol

GET REAL! AND GET A REAL JOB!

I have seen Lowell in action on stage. He is a terrific speaker, motivator, salesman and con artist. He has big kahunas. Would anyone with half a brain really believe pills could increase gas mileage? But the truth is that 95% + of all MLM investors lose all their money and never make a dime--so this is not any different. I am eager to see how Lowell comes out on this deal. Why not restain all MLM deals? Why let cosmetics companies sell fancy jars for $40 when the cost of the jar is greater than the near worthless ingredients? Lowell has stepped over the line with such a patently crazy product, but I have seen the dumbos in his audience and they would buy just about anything. Long live P.T. Barnum, who observed that a sucker is born every minute.

5 yrs. behind bars for Lowell would send a message to the MLM industry. Unless the AG's get real tuff the scam artists will pay their fines and find a way back into the scamming business.

The industry is full of repeat offenders. Look at the track records of Sam Caster, Phil Piccilo, Amway (Quixstar), on and on ad infininum.

Get the story straight bloggers, the guy above that says people are stupid to believe the product works should try it before he makes such an ignorant statement. And you MLM bashers can go fly a kite. MLM is Americas best hope for the average person to make it these days.

Sorry folks but the days of working for a good company for your whole life are retiring comfortably are coming to an end. The only job security these days is to own you own business.

Most wealthy people got their the old fashioned way...they earned it, and many of them are in Network Marketing. The way we do it in MLM is to work our butts off helping other people that we introduce to the business become successful. You guys in Corporate America tear each others hearts out to get ahead.

I like our way, and it is no scam, its called good business. By the way, the last time I looked it was OK to make a lot of money with a business in the good old USA. You want to complain about Lowell making too much money? Look again people, I think it pales to the income the big guys at Exxon Moble are raking in.

Are all MLM companies good opportunities, no way, but are they any different than all of the companies in corporate America? Just like looking for a decent JOB (jerked out of bed) you might need to sort through a few to find a winner.

Bio is just a good business idea with a great product that saved a bunch of people money at the gas pump, and oh by the way, paid a lot of good people a bunch of money to spread the word. That is just good business in my book.

This Monsieur Mims is another of the so-called carriers of the "Word"...someone not worthy of trust, even with one's measly dime to say the least. Jim and Tammy Fae revived; and throw in Jimmy S et al.
LM is one irrepressible phony. Unfortunately, there are others out there just like his lot.

If I recall correctly, a few TV stations put the product to the test and found that it did NOTHING! Sure it isn't bad to make a lot of money in America. Just as long as you aren't fleecing the terminally ignorant. What legitimate company won't let you use a Credit Card to make purchases? The kind that knows that their product doesn't work and is afraid of losing their stolen money with charge-backs from the credit card companies, thats who.

I love the line in the previous comment about Mims investing $$$ into this product. Would that be money he scammed in his previous MLM ventures like Destiny Telecomm, Unified International, etc etc ad infinitum?
