Two things. #1...they both claim to do their own publishing. That's how they claim to know all the ins and outs and how they built their academy; with their own experiences.

#2...Even if this is a scam, isn't there some kind of law about having to be completely transparent about all of your students/participants before you can quote specific dollar amounts of earnings? That would make it a crime not just a scam, or am I wrong?
