FIRST CANADA ON AUTOSHIP (ILLEGAL TO REQUIRE TO COLLECT COMMISSIONS)
NOW BRAZIL PROTECTS THEIR JUICE PLANTS!
TAHITIAN NONI SLAMMED
JUNE 2009 - John Wadsworth, founder and president of Tahitian Noni International (TNI), announced that all Tahitian Noni International operations in Brazil will be suspended. "Unfortunately, changes in government regulations no longer allow us to legally sell and market TAHITIAN NONI Juice in Brazil," stated Mr. Wadsworth. "This is not a decision that has been made lightly. TNI has spent months looking at multiple ways in which we might possibly continue to do business there. Tahitian Noni has produced years of safety information for government entities, to no avail. TNI has done every thing we could possibly do to keep Tahitian Noni International in Brazil, but the time has come to accept the fact that for now, this is the only responsible course of action to take. Although TNI is disappointed in the current situation, we will continue to seek approval to bring TAHITIAN NONI Juice legally into Brazil."

Agreement”) which, among other things, promised $2,500,000.00 to Dean (the “Cash Award”). In return, Dean promised to remain with Plaintiff for three years. Paragraphs 6 and 10 of the December Agreement reads as follows:
On December 19, 2008, Dean demanded an advance on the Cash Award in the amount of $100,000.00. Plaintiffs complied, depositing the funds into Dean’s bank account. Within a short time of receiving the funds, Dean announced that he was working for and promoting one of Plaintiff’s competitors (the “Competitor”). Dean also began actively soliciting members of his downline to end their relationship with TNI and join the Competitor.
That remedy is the return of the Cash Award, only $100,000 of which has been distributed to Dean up to this point.

TAHITIAN NONI - MORINDA - TNI SETTLES WITH XANGO
TNI FINED BY COURT
In he lawsuit filed by Morinda (now Tahitian Noni) against XanGo and a number of its top officers who were formerly Morinda employees, is settled. In the failed lawsuit filed by Morinda, it alleged XanGo and its top officers stole Morinda's property interest in mangosteen while they were employed by Morinda. The company claims that all intellectual property rights in the XanGo juice product (s), and all intellectual property rights stemming therefrom, are the exclusive property of Morinda. Morinda sought a constructive trust to imposed upon all assets, corporate opportunities, benefits and profits supposedly unlawfully obtained by XanGo. While not laughed out of court Morinda did not get far. Depositions of XanGo's alleged "partner," Wild Flavors, did not shed any light on whether Morinda could prove its past officers/employees were working on XanGo business while still employees of Morinda (they weren't). This route of investigation flopped. Since public records show that the trademark of XanGo was applied for approximately five months before these officers left Morinda, but none of them did the filing. This cause of action by TNI was almost a joke in the courtroom. Morinda was fined by the court for an undisclosed amount for not following the courts rules of discovery as directed by the Judge.
ALOE COMMODITIES DODGES LAWSUIT FROM MORINDA
MORINDA SLOW ON DRAW DISTRIBUTORS GET THE SHAFT
Editors Opinion Note: Aloe Commodities manufactured Noni Juice for Tahitian Noni - Morinda (TNI) for years then set up their own bottling plant in Utah. Aloe Commodities in Dallas which supports several MLM Companies and has started some unsuccessful ones of their own pulled this slick diversification below. Why? Because they probably had a non-compete for x time after stopping Manfacture. Any how about 3 months after the below action Noni Juices showed up in CostCo...... MMMMmmmmmmm opinion only.
