    Orberson first made his bones about 20 years ago in Excel Communications, which was basically multilevel marketing with long-distance service. Sounds like Orberson decided to start his own thing and ran afoul of the authorities.

    I have had several people try to talk me into "investing" in Fortune Hi-Tech, I declined because I said it was clearly a pyramid scheme. Provision is another pyramid scheme that is designed to rip off investors trying to make a few bucks on the side.

    Whatever happened to Brandon Knight's mother who worked for Orberson and continued to last year (the year after Brandon left)?

    Re: pyramid scheme.

    There is a story.

    Pyramid schemes, amway, etc is an old con. It is also a scam that has impacted college athletics long before Billy Gillispie got hosed.

    In the early 1990s Don Lane really pushed a pyramid scheme to high school coaches and even resident assistants working his summer basketball camp.

    Similar cons grabbed other college coaches in Kentucky including Denny Crum and a former CJ writer who was the beat report that followed the Cards during those days.
