Early in the year 1978, S. HubertHumphrey, as an agent servant to or representative of A.L. Williams, came to the Plaintiffs and represented to both of them that A.L. Williams was a company which operated through a pyramid scheme of marketing.
Humphrey told the Plaintiffs that this marketing scheme was "dynamite" and that they would expect to become extremely wealthy if they would go to work with A.L. Williams and work hard at this pyramid sales scheme.
Humphrey told the Plaintiffs that they would become entitled to these commissions or overrides for the rest of their life and that in a few short years they would become independently wealthy.
