I’d like to respond to some of it, although I know that in many senses I am just wasting my breath. I really get the impression that people simply want to blame the entire Mental Mentors group for the actions of some… and it gets a lot frustrating, and a little hurtful. I love being part of the SL™ Mentors group, and being a Mental Mentor, too. I have made wonderful friends through both groups and activities associated with them.

It's not as if you're in it for the money. I know how you feel; being ripped off must leave a nasty taste in the mouth. And its not just the L$, it's the idea that some lowlife is taking credit for your hard work. Content theft is probably the main thing that makes me think that SL businesses based on IPR aren't viable, especially as the thieves enjoy anonymity. The Mental Mentors Group owners sound like they are being unacceptably irresponsible from your acount.
