Merged Kevin Trudeau in Contempt

[Tricky]

Don't drop the soap, you bag of splooge.

At least his colon is thoroughly clensed.

 

[BenBurch]

How many slips of latinum are you going to shell out? Don't tell me you'd pay strips!

BARS. Gold-pressed Latinum with the Grand Nagus' seal!

 

[gerdbonk]

I expect he'll soon be selling an inspirational video series called Prison Profit! 100 Secrets for Building Wealth While Incarcerated that the Man Doesn't Want You to Know About!!!

Then he'll fake a heart attack and escape from the infirmary.

At least his colon is thoroughly clensed.

I recommend his next 'colonic cleansing' include several ounces of pepper.

From the Chicago Trib story that was earlier mentioned:

Downstairs, in the courthouse lobby, follower Jumal Lewis, 33, of Minnesota, improbably likened Trudeau to South African civil rights leader Nelson Mandela, saying Trudeau's books have put him and countless others on a path to success.

UGH! He had a lot of supporters at court, so depressing to see victims defending the guy that swindled them.

I'd say this is the biggest challenge in quackbusting.

Who said that quacks don't have to invent fake successes - their victims are happy to do it for them?

ETA: I think they should sentence him to 500 calories a day.

Would be interesting.
http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jsource/Holocaust/auconditions.html:

In practice, Auschwitz prisoners with less physically demanding labor assignments received approximately 1,300 calories per day, while those engaged in hard labor received approximately 1,700.

I woke up this morning at 3, couldn't go back to sleep so I turned on the tv. Amazingly, the first thing I see is ol' Kevin peddling his crap. He's still on TV after all this!

 

[Ladewig]

BARS. Gold-pressed Latinum with the Grand Nagus' seal!

Hey. Don't high hat the Ferengi.

He's still on TV after all this!

He has to make money to pay off his lawyers. They aren't going to work pro bono, especially if they suspect he has millions stashed away somewhere.

Only ten years? What a gyp!

Prosecutors seeking 10 years in prison for TV pitchman Kevin Trudeau for bilking consumers via widely broadcast infomercials say he's an "uncontrollable huckster."

 

[catsmate]

Only ten years? What a gyp!

Public execution by flamethrower perhaps?

 

[Eddie Dane]

Public execution by flamethrower perhaps?

I vote for public execution by all natural cures "they" don't want you to know about.

He can start by showing the public how he improves his eyesight by staring directly into the sun for fifteen minutes. (actual recommendation in this book).

He should be sentenced to doing everything in his book.

 

[marplots]

He could become a powerful advocate for prison reform, using his considerable talents for good. So says the optimist in me.

 

[Black Hole Box]

He can start by showing the public how he improves his eyesight by staring directly into the sun for fifteen minutes. (actual recommendation in this book).

Anyone who followed that advice would have choked on their own mittens at some point anyway.

The statement of disclosure for donations is a hoot to read. Among other oddities, the words attorney, affiliate and donor are all trademarked. I kid you not, he's got the little 'tm' symbol next to all of those.

I had so much fun reading that crap I felt guilty and donated $5.

I get that. It's like he's the top tier BS artist and as much as he's a scammer, it's hard not to admire just how blatant and unembarrassed he is about it. Talk about a man born to his craft! We should be thankful he isn't using that charisma to run for public office.
