Thirty years ago, Meckler had ditched the studded dog collar he wore as a Clash-loving law student, but his inner rebel was still alive. In 1993, he and his second wife, Patty, opened Cafe Mekka in Nevada City, an Austin-like outpost in California Gold Country.
In the ’90s, a friend introduced the Mecklers to Herbalife, the multilevel-marketing company that has long been characterized, against its denials, as a pyramid scheme. While they nominally sold weight-loss supplements, Herbalife hawked the American Dream to distributors. Money, freedom, independence — all you needed to do was work hard, believe, and stay away from the doubters.
