10 years??? Are you kidding ? For claiming weight loss in self help books? All you're doing in promoting the prison INDUSTRY while letting murderers and rapists with connections walk free. This is absurd. I can think of over a 1000 corporate thieves, killers, liars and thugs who belong there instead of this guy. Americans will cheerlead anyone's demise like the voyouers we are.

Trudeau hawked unapproved "weight loss therapies" that involved injections of human growth hormones.
How many people were maimed or killed as a result?

He also thumbed his nose at the FTC, ignoring court orders.

Add to that being a convicted *FELON* committing all this obvious fraud, and you've got a scummy con artist.

Far better to make con artists like Trudeau work off their debt in service to the people, 12 hours and day, six days a week for 10 years. Have some good come out of this.

Just because I think this turd should do time doesn't mean I think rapists and banksters should be free.

And we don't believe in promoting a prison society just to make fat cats on Wall St rich. Are people blind? Making everything a federal crime to make those who invest in prisons rich is the real fraud. I'm not even bothering on this thread anymore. People will cheerlead anyone's demise without thinking. Prison is not the answer to every little infraction

Most def.

to a length of rope and a sturdy overhanging pipe or beam.

Basic human right IMO.

I know, I know. Lapre used a razor.

But my point remains.

I had no idea. I didn't even know he'd been convicted of anything.

Good-bye, "tiny classified ad" man.

peddling.

"... steadfastly attempted to cheat others for his own personal gain," huh?

Not only would he be free, he would have gotten a large bonus.

Some unrepentant scam artists are venerated while others are vilified.



What a country!!

BTW, Trudeau also got into hot water with the FTC in 1998 for his bogus speed-reading system.

no criminal penalties would have been applied to him. As much as I detest him, I can understand how he watched the banking whales screw the world out of trillions of dollars and deduce that a smaller amount would be of no interest to the criminal justice system.

Professional Banksters Quarterly Employee Evaluation form. Scores 1 to 10, except the line is for "his or her".

Many cheat and lie on that question, trying to look good.

Man I hated that dude.

We have bigger problems. Bigger criminals. This is stupid. What!?!? He bilked people out of $19.95 with a self help book? My mother lost 300k in the 2009 meltdown shakedown.

We have way bigger issues and putting someone in federal prison for 10 years over false health claims is absurd

If they're not prosecuting bankers, it's because they don't want to prosecute bankers. Even if they didn't prosecute anyone else ever, they still wouldn't be prosecuting bankers.

Besides the 19.95, he was selling information about miracle cures that didn't cure anything. I'm pretty ok with the Justice Department going after people that prey on the vulnerability of sick people by selling them magic beans.

Some of our greatest allies are peddling magic beans. By subscribing to the sick ethos that people can be thrown in prison for ten years for this only promotes the prison industry. It's a book for Gods sake. We all need our hand held these days? There are way bigger frauds. I see some promoted on this site all the time. And yes there are only so many jail spaces so unless you are a cheerleader for building more prisons you should think a little more about what you are saying. I'm not just talking about financial crimes. What about the polluters or the war profiteers? Anyone who supports this guy getting ten years just because you don't like him should not call yourself an American. He got corporate America pissed at first just because he wrote a book about simple herbal remedies. So what if you don't like him because he wants to get rich off something questionable. This is ridiculous.

seeing his huckster ass on my late night TV now?

The OP says he has been in jail since November but I swear I've just recently saw one of his fake talk show format commercials.

I flipped through my Tivo recordings before I went to bed last night, and ran across one Trudeau infomercial showing in real time. They show two or three nights a week here. When will they stop?

"they" don't want you to know about.

Or Trudeau. Either one is fine.

Asshole. Enjoy your time as a ward of the state.

on the TEE-VEE

Congress.He could slip by any tme served at all.Just take a look at the Karl Rove's top choice for all time campaign finance swindler..Tom DeLay...

I had a friend who ordered a couple of his books. Supposedly if you don't like them you can return them and get a refund. Only no one ever answered the 800 number.

In one book he claimed that he was really 67 years old and look how young he looks. He was really 47 at the time.

And I loved his last bunch of ads where he was sitting at a table with several women all wearing extremely seductive outfits with their boobs hanging out. And I've also seen those ads recently while he was in jail. He has to have someone on the outside keeping things going for him.

Yep. The guy is a flim flam man to the core.
