I'd guess the common pathway is that people put an amount of time/effort into the Quixtar business, and never recoup enough to cover their monthly nut, thus dipping into/exhausting savings and general liquidity. Combine this with easy equity refinancing, and there's a definite opportunity for a problem.
Sure, some of this is probably the fault of the person taking on the 'job' - but the entire premise of the MLM is that the person at the bottom of the pyramid takes it in the ass for the people at the top. These people aren't really being compensated for their work. It's not a direct-line work/reward ratio, which is basically the definition of a 'scam' and the people running it are douche bags for it.
Again - because of the structure, the people at the bottom need more than 'hard work' to succeed . . . generally, they need to recruit more and more people. This is an untenable system - the later you get into the 'chain' the worse off you'll be.
