Hey everybody, this is Mike Brasel. I wanted to take a few minutes today and talk about some big things, big ideas, and big moves that the company is making. Obviously, we’ve all seen there are a lot of changes, and in an environment where you’re sharing information, stories differ, messages don’t get completely pushed out, and we want to make sure that we have transparency. Everybody’s getting the information they need to make the decisions that they need and understand that the company is making changes, and those changes are designed to improve the profitability of the company, make better plans for us, and keep this wonderful opportunity growing.

So let’s start with some plan changes. The first is the Matrix – Enter the Matrix. We’ll be going away on May 31st, and what I mean by going away is that it just will not be offered anymore. Currently, it could come back in the future, sure. Do we know? It knows, so we’re going to operate under the premise that it’s not coming back, and May 31st is the last date to buy an Enter the Matrix plan. If you haven’t entered the Matrix plan, it will work like it was supposed to work and continue to pay out the cash balance, and everything’s gonna be great.

The second thing is that call accounts, if you have one, you can keep it. If you don’t have or never had an Atco account, they are no longer being offered. So that call accounts are going away. Well, that pretty much leaves us with the scalp accounts, and there’s a final change that was brought out yesterday improperly with the improper information and kind of got leaked. So I want to make sure we cover that. Effective June 1st, the Diamond Plan is going to change. Now, we don’t know what that means. There have been some suggestions as to what people think that will mean, but until the company announces exactly what it does mean, all we know is June 1st. There will be a change, and it looks like it will be a less lucrative plan than it is now, but still very lucrative. But the important thing to remember we found out is that existing Diamond plans, plans before June 1st, will be under the current rules. So currently, if you invest 25,000 or more, you’re looking at a multiple million-dollar investment that is not changing. That is staying the same. The biggest change and the one that’s causing people the most uncomfort is the way that the company is going to pay out on matured plans.

So at this point, you have two options, and this is existing plans as well as new plans going forward. You can request, “Hey, my plan is matured. I’d like to have my money.” Okay, based on the size of that plan, and let’s just say it’s 1.2 million dollars, to make my math very easy. They will pay that plan out over a year. Not that you will wait a year, but instead of giving you a 1.2 million-dollar chunk that’s liable to disappear quicker than you can imagine, you’ll get a hundred thousand dollars a month for 12 months. The lower the amount, the lower the number of payments, etc. Okay, that’s one chain one option. The other option, and this is what was going to happen with most of it anyways, people are going if you reinvest 80% of your plan, the 20% that you liquidate will come to you a lot faster. So depending on the amount, you know, you’re getting out 10-15,000 dollars, It could take a few months, depending on the amount. The company needs to pay you in a more systematic way because they have just made the transition from investing in liquidity providers to being a liquidity provider. While we haven’t been told the features and benefits yet, as soon as the company announces them, they will communicate that with the field. The only thing that has been heard so far is that it’s safer and more in control, which are great things. There’s a lot of incomplete information, and they’re trying to fill in the blanks with this new method of communication.
