Herbalife actually makes (labels?) products that are decent enough, so I don’t think you can outright call it fraud.

The seller structure is definitely a pyramid scheme, but I’m not convinced that alone is reason enough for it to be illegal. It’s mindbogglingly stupid, of course. But consenting adults should be free to be as stupid as they want, provided they’re not harming anyone else or doing irreparable damage to themselves.
