Conspiracy theorist Dave Oneegs trying to convince ppl to join his alkaline water pyramid scheme

"There's 2 ways to get started", he says. "A 'Quad', 4 products or a 'trifecta' w/ the 3 products”

A quad = $16,400 & a trifecta is $10,600 (UP FRONT)

What Dave (cont) conveniently neglects to mention is there's another, much cheaper way to join his pyramid scheme:

the SINGLE! One product for $5,900.

(The other option is obviously, not to join at all...!)

Dave makes more money if he sells Quads or Trifectas so of course he doesn't (cont)

Glen is self represented but will be using the techniques of psuedolaw guru Mark-Kishon Christopher.
