The Stop the Amway Tool Scam Radio show with Scott Johnson and Peter Mingils talk to returning guest Sarah Girl about the apology video done by Pam and Larry Winters. On this episode, Scott Johnson and the YouTube Content Creator Sarah Girl discuss her feedback on the Apology video made in 2025 by Pam and Larry Winters.
In late 2025, Larry and Pam Winters, founders of Leadership Team Development (LTD)—a motivational and training system affiliated with Amway—released an apology video addressing an incident at the 2025 Amway Summit in Louisville, Kentucky.The core issue stemmed from statements made by the Winters on stage at the summit, where they allegedly provided inaccurate or misleading information in front of thousands of attendees. Critics, particularly in anti-MLM communities, described this as "lying” in violation of Amway's compliance rules, which govern how leaders communicate about the business, income potential, and operations to avoid hype or deception.Following the event, the Winters issued an initial apology, but it was reportedly distributed selectively—only to certain leaders or attendees, with instructions for them to share it "at their discretion” rather than sending it to all participants. This selective distribution was seen by some as another potential breach of Amway's rules on fair and transparent communication.The publicly released YouTube video (uploaded around November 15, 2025, titled something like "Amway Double Diamonds and LTD founders Larry & Pam Winters apology”) serves as their formal apology. In it, they express regret for the oversight, reaffirm their commitment to ethical leadership, and emphasize that attendees "deserve leadership who leads you well.” Observers, including on Reddit's r/antiMLM and anti-MLM sites, have described the apology as forced, scripted, insincere, or overly rehearsed, suggesting it was mandated by Amway to address compliance concerns.Note that some uploads of the video have faced copyright strikes from LTD, limiting availability. The incident fits into broader criticisms of Amway and LTD regarding motivational tools, event conduct, and adherence to rules designed to protect the company's legal standing. No evidence suggests the misdeeds involved personal misconduct like harassment; it centered on business communication and compliance.

The Amway tools scam is a hidden profit scheme within the Amway multi-level marketing (MLM) structure that exploits distributors, often leaving them with financial losses instead of the promised wealth. Amway, a well-known MLM company, markets health, beauty, and home products through independent business owners (IBOs). While the company emphasizes product sales, the real money for top-tier distributors, often at the Diamond level or above, comes from selling motivational "tools” like books, tapes, seminars, and rallies, not from product sales. These tools, promoted as essential for success, create a separate revenue stream that disproportionately benefits upline leaders while draining the profits of lower-level distributors.Distributors are pressured to purchase these overpriced tools, often costing hundreds or thousands annually, with promises of learning the secrets to building a lucrative Amway business. However, studies and lawsuits reveal that 99% of Amway distributors lose money, with average earnings below $100 monthly after expenses. The tools business, controlled by high-ranking distributors like Dexter Yager, generates millions for the elite, who earn significant markups on items like cassette tapes sold at rallies for up to $10,000 a night in cash. Meanwhile, new recruits face high startup costs—starter kits, training sessions, and product samples—further eroding their profits. This creates a pyramid-like structure where uplines profit from downlines' purchases, not retail sales, resembling an illegal scheme.
