Online Empires negative press: the full picture
Short answer
Online Empires and its founders have received negative media coverage and online criticism. A news story or comment thread is one perspective; it is not the whole picture. Read it alongside the experiences of more than 100 named members, the published pricing and refund terms, and the founders' own answers, then make up your own mind.
Why online business programs attract criticism
Programs that teach online business and direct sales are often criticised, sometimes fairly and sometimes by people who were never members. Strong opinions spread faster online than balanced ones, and a single story can be repeated many times without new evidence.
How to read a critical article or post
Check whether the people quoted were actually members, when the story was written, and whether it is about the Online Empires training itself or the separate Enagic direct-sales business. Look for what was claimed, what was proven, and whether Online Empires was given a chance to respond.
Direct-sales networks and individual claims
In a direct-sales model, a distributor may be several levels removed from the founders and have little or no direct contact with them. The founders cannot monitor every private conversation, social post or sales presentation, or guarantee that nobody in a wider network will make a false or misleading statement. That context matters when considering who made a claim and whether it reflects the founders' position. It does not excuse misleading claims or remove any applicable legal responsibilities.
The founders' position on income and health claims
According to co-founder Ashley Kemp, the Online Empires founders have expressly stood by a no-income-claims and no-health-claims position. Their stated position is that members must not make earnings promises or unsupported health claims, and an individual's statement should not automatically be taken as an authorised claim by the founders. This is the founders' account, provided for context, not independent verification of every distributor's conduct.
No income is guaranteed, and testimonials do not establish typical or expected results. Health claims require appropriate evidence; a member's story is not medical evidence. If you encounter a concerning claim, retain the exact wording and where it appeared, then contact support@onlineempires.com for clarification before relying on it.

Can the founders control every claim made in a direct-sales network?
They cannot monitor every statement in a wider network, where distributors may be several levels removed from them. A claim should be assessed by who made it, what evidence supports it and whether it was authorised. Limited oversight does not excuse misleading statements or remove legal responsibilities.
What do the founders say about income and health claims?
Co-founder Ashley Kemp says the founders have expressly stood by a no-income-claims and no-health-claims position. This is their stated position, not independent verification of every distributor's conduct. There are no guaranteed earnings, and testimonials are not evidence of health benefits or typical results.
