Re: I saw for the 2nd time Kevin's infomercial

Trudeau is not squeaky clean either.
This from Smokinggun who is brutal on all public figures:

1990, he pled guilty to larceny in a Cambridge, Massachusetts in connection with $80,000 in worthless checks he had

deposited at a bank
1991, he pled guilty to credit-card fraud of including some of his own customers
1996, a class action lawsuit was filed against him for among other things, misrepresenting and/or omitting material

information concerning his business practices.
1997, the case settled. The company agreed to pay $2,000,000 in cash to the wronged individuals and up to $600,000 for

the plaintiffs attorney fees.
1998 he agreed to :
(a) pay $500,000 in consumer redress, (b) be barred from making false claims for products in the future, and (c)

establish a $500,000 escrow account or performance bond to assure compliance.
2003 the FTC issued a preliminary injunction barring Trudeau from making false claims by direct mail and claiming coral

calcium as a cure for cancer
disseminated direct mail pieces and an infomercial that made claims that coral calcium is an effective treatment or

cure for cancer and other diseases. The preliminary injunction prohibited Trudeau from making these claims. The Court

ordered that Trudeau cease all marketing of coral calcium and expressly reserved the right to impose additional

remedial measures.
2004, Trudeau was found in contempt of court for violating the 2003 preliminary injunction.
2004, Trudeau signed another agreement with the FTC that bans him from making disease or health benefits claims for any

type of product, service, or program in any advertising, including print, radio, Internet, television, and direct mail

solicitations, regardless of the format and duration.
2004, Trudeau agreed to pay the FTC $2 million to settle charges that he falsely claimed that a coral calcium

product can cure cancer. Tweet
