如新在中国大陆以【双轨制】金字塔传销模式，进行人拉人扩展业务，并且误导投资者，消费者，表示该公司一切运作皆合法。 导致投资者与消费者牵涉在金字塔传销的队伍中。
最后处罚4700万人民币。
如新在中国大陆将被禁止继续经营，所有投资者将会面对无法估计的损失。
这就叫做活该。 说过不能的东西就不要在想要尝试。说过双轨制是不合法就是不合法。绝对没有侥幸的机会。 铁齿的人就是面对这种无法挽救的局面。
A lawsuit filed by Nu Skin shareholders against the company appears to be drawing to a conclusion.
The class-action lawsuit was filed in February 2014, accusing Nu Skin of misleading investors about the legality of its operations in China.
Chinese media reported suspicions Nu Skin was operating a pyramid scheme in January 2014. A subsequent investigation by Chinese authorities saw Nu Skin fined $781,000.
The class-action lawsuit has been quietly playing out over the past two years, with news yesterday of a potential $47 million dollar settlement.
The settlement, which will be paid by Nu Skin’s insurers, is not expected to result in a net charge to the company’s income statement, Nu Skin said in a filing.
The company said the deal is subject to court approval and a final approval is expected in mid-2016.
The settlement would see an end to class-action lawsuit. The impact on Nu Skin’s global business operations, if any, is as of yet unclear.
Following the shutdown of Nu Skin’s Chinese pyramid scheme, profit plummeted by 63%.
The status of the SEC investigation, purportedly also looking into Nu Skin’s Chinese pyramid scheme operations, remains unclear.
In other Nu Skin news, the company recently lost an appeal in Japan over a customs dispute.
Following the loss in court, Nu Skin are now liable for around $32 million dollars in customs duties.
