Part 2/7:
Andrew was initially attracted to PHP Agency after following Patrick Bet-David, the founder, on social media platforms. His interest piqued when an agent reached out to him on LinkedIn, presenting typical MLM recruitment pitches. Despite his enthusiasm, being only 17 posed a challenge since he couldn't pay the $200 registration fee or take the licensing exam. The agents seemed to skirt the issue of his age, likely motivated by recruitment quotas.
As the academic year progressed, Andrew's interest reignited after coming across a positive video about PHP Agency, featuring an individual who would later become his mentor. By this time, he was 18, had secured a credit card, and was eager to join the organization. His journey, however, quickly transitioned from excitement to complex manipulation.
