Yes, but as far as I know he was worth much more than that. It would have been but a pittance to him.

Now I hope he gets made somebody's bitch.

The fines were like $37 million and I thought the reason he's in jail is because he couldn't pay the fine.
 
Kevin Trudeau Headed To Jail

I believe he used to pitch some kind of wealth system as well but that was not the subject of this investigation.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - U.S. TV pitchman Kevin Trudeau, who was convicted last year of criminal contempt for exaggerating the contents of his weight-loss book in infomercials, was sentenced on Monday to 10 years in prison.

Trudeau, 51, who has been held in federal custody since his conviction in November, will also have five years of supervised release after serving his sentence, U.S. District Court Judge Ronald Guzman said.

"He is deceitful to the very core, and that type of conduct simply cannot stand," Guzman said, noting that Trudeau had been cited repeatedly for violating court orders over several years.

Trudeau was found guilty last November of violating a 2004 federal court settlement with the Federal Trade Commission that barred him from misrepresenting the contents of his books in advertisements.

A jury found he violated the agreement while marketing his book, "The Weight Loss Cure 'They' Don't Want You To Know About," in infomercials made in 2006 and 2007 that aired about 32,000 times.

He was in jail because he wouldn't pay what he owed the government despite living a lavish lifestyle. The current sentence is for defying court orders to stop scamming people. One would hope that while he's serving his 10-year sentence the feds can find his money and confiscate what's owed them.

No, he's in jail because he wouldn't stop ripping people off, even after the judge told him to stop.

I was a bit appalled this last weekend, when I got up early and turned on the TV. Unfortunately the station I was last watching was not yet airing its programming, so had infomercials on and it was Trudeau pitching one of his !@#$ing books.

Apparently even going to jail hasn't stopped him.

Of course not - his being sent to jail only proves that "they" really didn't want you to know after all, right?

That is my only problem:they did an Al Capone and got him on what amounts to tax evasion rather then being responsible for many deaths because of his phony Cancer cure.
I don't blame the prosecutors;you take someone like Trudeau down anyway you can. But our laws on praticing medicine without a licence are way too lax.

Woot! My collection of Kevin Trudeau books and videos just increased in value. As soon as they make it illegal, everything goes up in price. Now that I've lost weight, am cancer free, and living on free money from the government, I think I might be willing to part with a couple of the books. I just need a Tor account.

On another note, I imagine he's teaching a master class in conning at whatever prison he's vacationing in. Probably more fans per capita than anywhere else in the world.
 
Dammit! I Pre-ordered my copy of "The Get Out of Jail Free Trick 'They' Don't Want You to Know About"! :mad:
