Fred Harteis Removes Himself From Lawsuit

Here is a new report about Fred Harteis. It is apparent that the TEAM is in over their head. Leaders are already splintering off in different directions.

A Lower Paxton Twp. man says his inclusion as a plaintiff in a lawsuit against multilevel marketing firm Quixtar Inc. was "an error," and he has been removed from the legal action.

Fred Harteis, president of Harteis International at 7955 Jonestown Road, said yesterday through a spokeswoman that he remains a distributor for Quixtar, a corporate cousin of the better-known Amway Corp. of Ada, Mich.

The lawsuit contends that Quixtar is an illegal pyramid scheme, violating rules set by the Federal Trade Commission after previous litigation involving Amway.

Here is what TEAM had to say about Fred's move:

Statement from Shughart, Thomson & Kilroy Regarding Plaintiff Fred Harteis:

Fred Harteis was involved in many conversations with us in the previous weeks concerning the state of the current Quixtar business, the pricing of its products, and Quixtar's coming transformation. On Friday, after we filed our Complaint, Fred's attorney notified us that Fred would not participate. Therefore, Fred is no longer a plaintiff in this lawsuit. We respect Fred's right to decide what he thinks is best for his family and business.
