I've been watching this all unfold with interest as an outsider. I'm totally disgusted and so upset for you all! I saw many people tagging Sarah at the start of all of this which is how I found out about it all. It did intrigue me, but as I wasn't a follower of Sarah I wasn't drawn into it. I had actually come across her before but wasn't interested as she seemed really snooty and like she didn't really care about anything..
Seeing everyone sign up to all of the coaching I was like ooo must be good! But I didn't go for it as all I could see was Sarah making money from doing coaching. That's how she was making her money, and I just thought ok I could make money from coaching, don't need to learn any more lol
As an outsider, Lewy looked like a con man. However as Sarah said he was legit, that makes you think he was. I do think he conned her in the sense of saying he was a successful business man, and he's clearly not. However..he did actually push her to her million pound goal. The 'no exit' business..I have been trying to think of a way that this name could be anything other than dodgy, but have failed so far
She knew she shouldn't be doing it, and went along with it anyway. This could have been because of his influence and mindfuckery, but I watched her live when she said she had made her million, and he was telling her to take a few months off (which I thought was a good idea) and she said that no, she wanted to make more. GREED
She should have planned the sessions - it wasn't like it was 100% up to him to plan. She has failed you all. Even if she was led along by him, she should have sent out the refunds immediately. I know that if it was me I wouldn't be sleeping until I'd processed the refunds. If she feels she can't comment in front of him I'd set up a private group and invite everyone in and explain and apologise until blue in the face
I'd also get a lawyer to help me with the damage caused to the brand. I'd probably offer freebies as a way of saying sorry. And I would truly be sorry.
The fact of the matter is, no matter what Lewy did, she is not refunding all of the money. Even if she says she is, she isn't. It can be done on the same day. She wants to keep it for herself, and that should tell you everything you need to know
