Did Mannatech hire a felon?
One of Mannatech’s co-founders was Bill Fioretti. Many years before Fioretti and Sam Caster cofounded Mannatech, Fioretti was convicted on marijuana-trafficking charges and served several years in federal prison. Caster asked Fioretti to become his partner because Fioretti was a brilliant individual with a good understanding of biochemistry. None of his past legal experiences had anything to do with Mannatech, nor did they affect his relationship as chief science officer of the newfound company. Fioretti left the company in the late 1990s to pursue other opportunities.
