Is Gongting Biyan Ointment a pyramid scheme?

Whether Gongting Biyan Ointment is suspected of pyramid selling is inconclusive, and a certain conclusion can be drawn only after judicial organs intervene in investigation, prosecution and trial.

However, pyramid selling refers to the act of calculating and paying remuneration to the developed personnel on the basis of the number of personnel or sales performance directly or indirectly developed by them, or requiring the developed personnel to obtain the qualification to join on the condition of paying a certain fee, so as to seek illegal interests, disrupt economic order and affect social stability.

If you find or think that you meet the above conditions, you can actively call the police, which is the same as cracking down on pyramid schemes.

Relevant laws and regulations:

Article 224-1 of the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that whoever organizes and leads pyramid selling activities, in the name of selling goods and providing services, requires participants to pay fees or purchase goods and services to obtain the qualification to join, forms a hierarchy in a certain order, and directly or indirectly lures or coerces participants to continue to develop others to participate, defrauds property and disrupts economic and social order based on the number of people who have developed. If the circumstances are serious, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than five years and fined.
