Is GIN a scam, or is it legit?

GIN is a real, operating membership club: it has run since 2009, and members receive the courses, events, chapter meetings and Processes the membership lists. Whether it is worth it for you is a separate question. The founder's legal record is serious, the cost adds up, and results are not guaranteed. Start with the free sessions and decide with facts.

What critics point to

• The founder's record. Kevin Trudeau pleaded guilty to fraud charges in 1990 and 1991 and was sentenced to 10 years for criminal contempt in 2014. The record and his side.
• The cost. $1,650 to start and $150 a month, plus events and Processes. Every number.
• Closed prices. The cost of levels 6 and up is shared only with members.
• Sales pressure around it. Some official sales pages for the Processes use deadlines, big dollar values and claims nobody can verify.

What members point to

• It delivers what it lists. The courses, the 90 included Processes, the events and the chapter meetings are real.
• It has lasted. GIN kept running from 2009 through the years its founder was in prison.
• You can leave. Members can cancel from the member portal.
• The community. Monthly chapter meetings, in person and on Zoom, are where many members say the value is.

My view, as a member

GIN is not for everyone, and anyone who tells you it is wants to sell you something. It makes sense if you already like Kevin's teaching and the monthly fee does not stress you. It does not make sense as a first step.

Decide in three steps

1. Listen to all 14 free sessions of Your Wish Is Your Command.
2. Ask yourself if you used something from them in your real life that week.
3. Only if yes, and only if the money is comfortable, look at GIN.
