Affiliate Marketing Secrets

After researching this briefly, this is what i make of the situation: rex venture group has closed it’s doors temporarily as a result of too many complaints from affiliates to the attorney general of North Carolina. All over the internet it’s being called a scam or ponzi scheme, but like most afffiliates know, that’s simply not true lol, that’s just not how Zeek Rewards works.
Thoughts / theories?

I want to sell amazon products for my business but i want to know if I’m allowed to do this living in NC

I wonder if affiliate sites do better with a narrower focus like motorcycle roads in North Carolina, or things to do at the beach in South Carolina?
