PYRAMID priest

Father Hugh Sweeney has been using his position as a priest to get people to sign up to a network marketing deal. He's not really interested in selling Tahitian Noni claiming the real money was made in getting people to sign up as 'Independent Product Consultants.' He promised that it was possible to make a four figure sum and spoke of millionaires he met who got rich through the scheme. Not only did the priest cross the line from dubious, but legal, network marketing into outright pyramid selling, he also broke the law by making medicinal claims about the €50 a bottle Noni juice. According information leaflets he passed around the juice can help everything from acne to cancer. Parishioners in Glen Swilly, County Donegal haven't been too happy with his commercial activity. One cancer patient claimed he fled under pressure from the priest to sign up.
