It was a quiet Sunday morning in 2011 when Jeff Gannon got a warning he’d never forget. A year earlier, he and his family agreed to put their name to one of the most divisive lawsuits in Kansas history. They had gotten a fair share of negative feedback, but nothing like the man who approached him after church. “He said, ‘Do you have any idea what they can do to you? You are coming up against a system that is incredibly large and powerful,’ ” Gannon said. “He said, ‘Are you prepared for the trouble that could come your way?’” It was odd, and a bit disquieting, but even after the nameless man left, Gannon wasn’t shaken.

In a Federal Court in March, attornies for a group of consultants provided the sordid details in the class-action filing. According to the suit, LuLaRoe is a fraudulent pyramid scheme that preys on stay-at-home mothers. The company promotes the business as a way for mothers to make extra income for their families. LuLaRoe recruits women to join the company and promises that they will be able to sell their clothing. Despite the claims made by the company to recruits, the suit alleges the company ran an illegal pyramid scheme from 2013-mid-2017. Additionally, they allege that LuLaRoe knew the company was an illegal pyramid scheme while they recruited women to join the company. From the company’s inception until at least mid-2017, LuLaRoe paid the majority of their commissions and bonuses on the recruitment of new members. New members purchased start-up packages ranging from $5,000 to $9,000.00.
