Rich DeVos was once fired from the Republican National Committee?

While serving as chairman of the RNC, Richards also had a dispute with finance chairman Rich DeVos, who was an Amway distributor and used Amway tactics in his political fund-raising. Donors signed a petition presented to Richards, complaining that "they were being treated like Amway distributors."

After "Pat Boone made a speech pitching Amway" at a fund-raising event in California, Richards told DeVos point blank that Amway tactics were off-limits.

DeVos contacted his congressman, Guy Vander Jagt, who called Reagan's chief of staff, James Baker, to ask for a face-to-face meeting with the president. Baker called Richards for background, and the two agreed that DeVos had no case, and Richards fired him.

newindpress:

The Patamata police have solved the mystery behind the gruesome murder of N Sailaja, who was killed at her residence in Vasavinagar in Patamata. An youngster Ravi Kiran, who was her associate in Amway multi-level network marketing business, was believed to have committed the murder for gain.

The police zeroed in on the accused, based on cellphone transcriptions. After checking up with frequency of calls made and received, police reportedly grilled Ravi who accepted the crime.

He along with an accomplice came to the house of N Sailaja in the PS Rao Plaza at Vasavinagar on Friday. Since Sailaja was associated with the Amway multi-level marketing system, the watchman of the residential complex did not stop them from entering the house.

The miscreants, who appeared to be highly professional in their approach, just slashed her two wrists and walked away with the cash and valuables worth Rs 50,000. Sailaja’s husband M Rammohana Rao is an assistant professor in Siddhartha Engineering College and they have two children.
