Dutch minister says existing law is sufficient to address pyramid schemes
Dutch Economic Affairs Minister Karremans said the current legal framework is sufficient to address pyramid schemes and that he sees no need to change the rules. Multi-level marketing is not prohibited when it focuses on product sales; the Kansspelautoriteit assesses suspected pyramid schemes individually and can enforce the law.
The minister’s position leaves the existing framework and the KSA’s case-by-case enforcement role unchanged.
