Kevin Trudeau proof he's a scam artist.

[chainsaw]

In 1991, Trudeau was convicted of credit card fraud in Massachusetts and spent 21 months in jail. In 1998, the Federal Trade Commission barred him from making false or unsubstantiated claims about any product. He paid a $500,000 fine. In 2003, the FTC filed a preliminary injunction against Trudeau for violating the 1998 order. Then in 2004, Trudeau was found in contempt of that injunction. He paid $2,000,000 to settle the case. He was also banned from making infomercials except in the case of books or other publications, as long as the infomercials were truthful.

I'm guessing that his book did not cure you from being a douchebag

He's not wrong when he talks about how the food and pharmaceutical industries are in bed with the federal government.

deer shit and Ron's dingelberries is for cancer

Can one consume them even though they don't have cancer and simply because they like the taste? I'm wanting that clarified on behalf of JediKnight

[Tre]

Bush-Cheney have pulled way more scams than Trudeau, but you little bitches won't say anything about that.

[Spike]

I read that issue in "Men's Health" too

[sync pulse]

That guy had a set designer design a set for his infomercials that reminded people of Larry king's CNN set.  The authority that CNN projected was therefore co-opted by a visual trick.  Hail Leni Riefenstahl.

He did an interview about his incarceration and what led to it in USA Today a while back

[Special Ed]

Trudeau is one of those con artists who's very intelligent and savvy and could probably be very wealthy without scamming people. Unfortunately, "very wealthy" isn't good enough for him.

His "Natural Cures they Don't Want You to Know" actually had ZERO cures in it. I know because I browsed through it at the bookstore and couldn't find any specific information. Rather than be a sucker and buy it, I took it out from the library and sure enough, ZILCH specifics about CURING anything.

It's more like, "Did you know there is one natural substance you can take that will rid your (insert disease or ailment here) forever?" and then it never mentions what that is, although he does try to get you to sign up for a subscription to his monthly newsletter or website every chapter.

His new book on "Weight-Loss Cures" is a little better but not much -- Drink water, eat fiber, get an enema/high colonic, etc. but of course, no "Eat less you fat fuck!"

Something advertised on TV wasn't real? I must now kill myself.

[saucetradomous]

is this the dude that advocates not using microwaves and to avoid reading newspapers.  I think I remember glancing over a part in the book that said something along those lines but gave no reason.  People are such suckers.

[Tre]

Ed's right about Trudeau being intelligent and having the ability to earn a legitimate fortune. 

Trudeau's crusade against the pharmaceutical companies has merit, but by running his little scams on the side, the meat of his message gets lost.

the guy spends tons of money to make money...Some say up to a million a week on informercials...Smart dude for sure...But is playing with fire with it comes to some goverment agencies...
