Ex Zrii Employees Allege Greed and Mismanagement

  • Even for the sometimes strange world of network marketing, the meltdown at Zrii LLC is extraordinary.

    Thirty-five employees have resigned, including the entire top level managers at the promoter of a drink based on health claims from the juice of an Indian fruit. The executives left after a failed attempt to force CEO William F. Farley to resign and after their offer to buy the company was rejected.

    Farley also terminated the contracts of top-level independent distributors and has sued some of those involved. He accuses them of trying to sabotage the company and extort a price for it far below the worth of a multilevel marketing company that had more than $40 million in business in 2008.
