King, you are right in this aspect. cos once if you notice one
of your close friends get into this sort of skeptical MLM scheme or
any other thing, you will begin to doubt him. and in future, when
he approaches you for something new, something
different...whoa...you have to first take a step back and look at
him to double check if its not another ponzi plan or belief or idea
or scheme of his again.
its a once bitten twice shy thingy. and like what you said...ppl
will despise and shun you, but they won't tell you so or make it
visibly obvious.
and if you think about it carefully, you will notice that these
ppl...you can bring them into a room, talk about ANYTHING....a
money making scheme, a certain con job, some pyramid or timeshare
stuff, terrorism, signing on SAF, anything for 2 hours, and out
they come and they will believe you. they simply believe upfront
what is being said. they just cannot see the logic or the plot
behind it. they don't question the motive about what is being done
BACKSTAGE and why.

reputation sticks. People will shun you, look down on you and treat
you like the pariah of the society for your mere
involvement.
