Kevin Trudeau

[III]

Is this guy legit? I'm sure we've seen him promote his book Natural Cures They Don't Want you to Know About, and his new book about weight loss. I admit, some of the stuff he says makes sense, but he doesn't exactly have a clean record.

During the early 1990s, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal, Trudeau served nearly two years in prison. In 1990, he pled guilty to larceny in a Cambridge, Massachusetts, state court in connection with $80,000 in worthless checks he had deposited at a bank. The sentencing memorandum said that he had posed as a doctor to increase his credibility with bank officials. In 1991, he pled guilty to credit-card fraud in Boston federal district court. Among his misdeeds in the federal case, he misappropriated for his own use the credit-card numbers of customers of the memory-improvement courses that he offered at the time.

So, with all that said, would you take this guy seriously?

Absolutely not. Sounds like one of those corrupt televangelist-type people who exploit people's weaknesses.

Is that a "serious" question?!

Funny how the entire medical community is clueless and that the government and pharmaceutical companies are in one giant "CIA shot Kennedy" conspiracy and only this nut job knows the truth. Ever listen to him?!

I guess that's why he's resorting to peddling his nonsense to the pin head, cracker simpletons who watch QVC and late night infomercials on some obscure channel. I think the show Dateline or 20/20 (can't remember) made mince meat of this yahoo by thoroughly debunking and discrediting him in an interview.

"Only in America" sums up this con job and the money he's made.

PT Barnum's saying couldn't be more appropriate. "There *is* a sucker born every minute."

Speaking of conspiracy theories, I just came across this video by Penn and Teller tonight.
