The lower-tier activity of selling overpriced laundry detergent through the mail only exists to give the scam a veneer of respectability.

Update: Nate and his wife went to the Mystery Meeting and emerged unharmed. This particular salesman was from his church, and apparently he really poured on the "blessing God through MLM" shtick. They couldn't get him out of the house fast enough.
