Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a weekly series where bad businesses go to die.

Oral Roberts practically founded the modern day mindset of ‘seed faith’. If you plant a seed—aka give him money—it will grow into something even more fantastic. In actuality, it will probably only grow into a new car or mansion for a televangelist. Not only did he cement this mindset as a normality but he and his son are notorious for practicing it

Welcome to Dark Dives, a new series where we explore the murky and devious depths of humanity.

Rajneeshpuram, run by their leader Bhagwan, was seen as a sanctuary for anyone that wanted to escape the difficult, stressful modern world. However, when they became involved with wire-tapping, poisoning, and immigration fraud, the community (or cult) doesn’t look so ‘innocent’ and restful after all. Was this all the result of a cult leader, a community led astray, or a few fringe members?

Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a weekly series where bad businesses go to die.

If you’ve seen the videos swirling around the Internet of Pyrex brand glass breaking, or if you’ve heard that Instant Pot is headed for bankruptcy, maybe you’ve wondered why. It seems like not that long ago they were on top of the world. Is it corporate greed that corrupted your kitchenware, or something worse?

Welcome to Multi Level Mondays, a weekly series all about multi level marketing, pyramid schemes, and ponzi schemes.

Kenneth Copeland is one of the most scandalous, controversial televangelists. Not only does he completely fly off the handle when criticized for his faith-healing and wealth-hoarding behaviors, but he truly comes across as a real-life supervillain. Today, we’ll look at one of the most loathed pastors and see why the hatred against him is justified—and then some.

Welcome to Multi Level Mondays, a weekly series all about multi level marketing, pyramid schemes, and ponzi schemes.

World Financial Group was founded by a former Primerica salesman; pyramid schemes breed more pyramid schemes, this is hardly a surprise. But, like father like son, this MLM has quite a few scam-shaped issues. From misrepresentation to scamming salespeople, World Financial Group has earned itself a nasty reputation—one that doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon.

Welcome to Multi Level Mondays, a weekly series all about multi level marketing, pyramid schemes, and ponzi schemes.

Endorsements from celebrities such as William Shatner have a lot of weight and bring a lot of growing power to a company. Back in the 80s, United Sciences of America proved this when they went from nothing to 140,000 distributors in seven months. But they were a scam, and hardly more than a year later, went defunct. What happened? What made this MLM fall apart, when so many live to prey another day?

Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a semiweekly series where bad businesses go to die. We will discuss any and everything from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and businesses that have a lot to hide.

Years ago, the home exercise giant Peloton seemed to be the toast of the town. Everyone was enamored with the rapid rise to success of the company that sold luxury bicycles and treadmills and their skyrocketing profits seemed to reflect consumers' undying love. But, as their orders grew they found themselves enthralled with a whole new host of issues. They scaled way too fast, had one PR blunder after another, and soon lawsuits came flooding in. What’s that saying? What goes up must come down. Yeah, it seems like we might be in the “down” part of Peloton’s story.

Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a weekly series where bad businesses go to die.

Beneath all the glitz, the beautiful costumes and mesmerizing routines, figure skating has a dark side. Racism, demands in body image, and scandals have perpetuated the sport for years. Is figure skating even half as beautiful as it looks?

Welcome to Multi Level Mondays, a weekly series all about multi level marketing, pyramid schemes, and ponzi schemes.

Remember those people who believe drinking bleach will solve anything? It’s a wonder people like this are still alive, frankly, but they are—and the leaders within their church made absolute bank selling MMS and other hoaxes to their followers. Now, finally, the government has stepped in, and they want them to pay it all back.

Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a weekly series where bad businesses go to die.

Lobbying is an important part of politics in the US, however, there’s a reason so many view it as nothing more than legal bribery. Corporations that bend and manipulate research have been able to have massive influence in government thanks to their dollar bills, and minority groups are consistently underrepresented. Lobbying may be legal, but is it moral?
