Quixtar Wins Decisions in Lawsuit
Woodward and Brady Suffer Defeats
According to a press release and several news reports, a Michigan judge has ruled in favor of Quixtar on two of the three lawsuits brought before them by former employees and associates. Orinn Woodward and Chris Brady were the heads of a group formerly called the Team of Destiny (now just known as TEAM, standing for "Together Everyone Achieves More), an organization employed by Quixtar to train their independent business owners (IBOs) on how to sell Quixtar products and recruit other sales persons. Brady and Woodward had a disagreement with Quixtar and wanted to be released from their "no compete" clause in their contracts. Several other high-ranking Quixtar members joined them as well.
However, Judge Paul Sullivan of the Kent County Circuit Court ruled that Woodward and Brady are not allowed to use Quixtar business data in recruiting other former Quixtar IBOs. Furthermore, the judge ruled that Woodward and other terminated employees must return confidential documents back to Quixtar, documents they had taken before being terminated. Furthermore, an injunction request to keep Quixtar from firing employees based on Quixtars rules of conduct was also denied. IBOs are also prevented from distributing any training material conceived by Woodward, Brady and the TEAM
Quixtar representatives were satisfied with the judge's rulings.
"After these defeats, Mr. Woodward's credibility is down to zero," said Quixtar spokesman Rob Zeiger to the press. "Woodward has ignored our rules, abused the legal process, defied the court, and misled the people who believed in him.We stand by our main point: Terminating Orrin Woodward and ridding Quixtar of his abusive business practices was absolutely the right thing to do."
"Some very brave IBOs have blown the whistle on Quixtar's illegal business practices" said Chris DeWitt, IBO representative in a statement for the press. "This is just one small skirmish in a very long and involved battle. In the end the IBOs will prevail."
However, one main accusation still remains to be settled. A California case of IBOs vs. Quixtar that will be heard on September 12 concerns the IBOs trying to declare Quixtar an illegal company.
Several protesters were present outside the courthouse during the hearings. Many were dressed in dark suits and white shirts with buttons reading "I got burned by Quixtar", according to several press reports and the suing IBO's website, freetheibo.com.

i love people that say this is a pyramid see have they looked in the mirror yet think not their job is a pyramid working in a job for an employer. I laugh when people they this is a scam when so many of my friends are making good money in this business. We are funded by the federal trace commission funny the negative poison continues probably why there are so many poor people in the world they dont believe in anything
the problem with most people today is there are so many people out there who have their heads filled with negative poison which is why most of the negative ones still work for an employer or so called job working 40-50 hours a week getting a paycheck at the mercy of an employer. Its funny i always wondered why the people who talk negative about something never have anything meaning they still have a job while others enjoy financial freedom like myself making my own hours no one telling me when i should wake up to me this is life. I believe most people dont make it in this business because they give up they think its a business where you make money like right away so funny i cant think of one business that is this fast if so can you please tell me anyway they say its a 2-5 year plan i to be honest think its around 5 years although some have done it faster. They never said you would get rich quickly or its a guarantee really the only thing guaranteed in life is death and taxes they say a
spartan, leave me a comment with your e-mail address at brightwrites.blogspot.com and I can give you more info. thanks for posting those sites! I saw the crazyfun one last night. When TEAM puts out press statements after victories or defeats I can use them.
thanks, tom. that's what I was looking for! I have my own personal feelings about quixtar, but if TEAM doesn't release PR through my sources I can't use any of their reports. I want the public to know what's going on
Quixtar put rules in place to avoid being illegal. Team from the start intentionally found ways to break those rules. Now they are suing Quixtar because Quixtar's rules were too loose allowing Team to exploit that. Wow, this is amazing!! I think the roaches analogy was correct.
I don't see the comparison. Also you might want to try a little capitalization and spell check to avoid embarrassing yourself.
hey larry , dont you mean like watchin wal mart eat kmart?
do the research before you emarass yourself...
Quixtar sounds like a pyramid scheme to me.
If you look at our rules, that's basically all we're allowed to do. Sorry I couldn't fly to Michigan and cover it myself. Feel free to register onto AC and do some journalism work. No bias is presented in this article. I only report the facts and got one quote from each side. My obvious bias can be found in an article I wrote earlier this year.
