Kevin Trudeau Sentenced to 10 Years in Prison

[macguy]

nobody could have accounted for the nation wide online gambling ban, that was total bs

IF.....the true motive was to dominate pool, I don't really see a problem with that in the spirit of free enterprise

so much bitterness towards here from people like macguy towards the man who paid out millions

too bad

Someone who still has some of the Kool-aid left in the fridge. How about a man who sold phony cancer cures to desperate people. Study this guys history before you comment. This is not a good man gone bad, this is an evil to the core basterd getting what he deserves.

 

[Blackjack]

Okay ... maybe one comment ...

I bet you that Kev's "Electro-Magnetic Chaos Eliminator" will be working overtime in the prison shower!

What a stugats!

Now ... I may be a self appointed Prophet of Doom that has never amounted to anything sitting at the bar complaining about how I can't rub two-nickels together ... but I can walk outside - drive my car - go anywhere I want - I can sleep well at night - and I can look myself in the mirror.

Good riddance, I hope he stays where he's at.

I thought he was going to prison for refusing to pay a 37 million dollar fine? Are you sure it has anything to do with phony cancer cures? Who goes to jail when Big Pharma drugs kill people?

A fine due to his scam books.

As far as Big Pharma, nice straw man. Are you really that desperate to defend KT?

Probably eligible for parole in 5-7 years. How many millions that he scammed people out of would he trade for those 5-7 years that he'll never get back? Maybe he'll write a new book in prison........

Here's one from the archives that I painted 4+ years ago

The previous poster thought KT deserves to be in jail for giving poor advice to cancer patients. That made me wonder why we don't see Pharma CEO's in prison.

He does deserve to be in jail.

I sometimes wonder why my dog farts in her sleep, but I don't try to use that question as a distraction to the real discussion on the internet.

Unfortunately, many memories are too short to remember where your comments come from. I am reading them now in this thread.

One of his simplest cons was to simply keep charging people's credit cards for monthly fees and subscriptions long after the customer cancelled.

As for him ending up in prison, long overdue, better late than never.

No, you again don't know the mans history. Not advice, he was selling fake cures for cancer to desperate people. You need to do some reading before making any more comments.

Even 7 years is a very long time in prison. He is over 50 and you can already see the toll it is taking on him. He doesn't even look the same. By the time he gets out, if he ever does, much of what he was will be long gone. At best I suspect he will become a born again evangelist and begin a new scam, religion should he get out.

I say "If he ever gets out" is because of his age. Medical care in prison is not very good nor are the conditions in general. For a 50 year old man coming in cold off the street to survive in prison for say 7 years may be a 50/50 prop.

He probably was responsable for many deaths

How many people did Trudeau kill? This thread makes him sound as bad as Obama!

His book should have been titled Pile of Shit.
And it did it has been argued cause many deaths.

Of that you can't really be sure. If you go back to his partnership with Robert Barefoot when they were selling Coral calcium as a cancer cure there may be some deaths in his wake. He obviously didn't really care if people died of not, just that they bought his products and gave him their credit card numbers he could overcharge.

 

[Kobachi]

Truth in sentencing guidelines. He has to do 85%.

[smashmouth]

most of ya'll seem to be taking a side here....blindly

he's a scumbag with frickin sociopathic tendancies (not all too different from most if you do the research), but he took said tendancies to the next level by implementing them to certian degrees, less than some, more than most


he also did a shitload for pool during a short period of time, ironically may have in fact been the cliche con man trying to go legit before the gambling ban shafted him

the convinction on contempt speaks to his dellusions and probably also to the fact that he's simply far past rehab at this point in his life

phone texting btw, apologies for the typos

 

[center pocket]

+1 for the good guys

 

[ribdoner]

prolly end up a biatch if he cant buy muscle, then again stand up dudes might elect to not stand with him


(even gotti got spanked)

too bad

One good deed does not wipe out his miserable cheating and scamming. The judge knows KT all too well, and here is his take on it, before he sentenced the idiot to 10 years.

"he has treated federal court orders as if they were mere suggestions or at most impediments to be sidestepped, outmaneuvered or just ignored"

"That type of conduct simply cannot stand"

"during three decades off fraud, Trudeau had taken on more than a dozen aliases and even used his mothers social security number to perpetrate scams"

"His is a habitual liar"

"This does not happen by accident, and it does not happen by good intentions"

"It is a reflection of a person's character"

I don't see how his being imprisoned, where we are now paying for all of his living expenses, helps anyone but the prison industry. Wouldn't it have better been the focus of the court to have him repay any victims, rather than put him in jail for not doing that? Now we're stuck shelling out more money to his care!

But, I'm sitting out here in the cheap seats without much of a view.

Jeff Livingston

That is why he is in jail for contempt. Failure to give up the money. Denied he had any

Because if he is gonna defy a judge and not pay a fine to the courts as ordered, and actually put him in jail, how in the HELL do you think he is paying anyone back ?

But most folks are NOT out money except those that bought the book, and those who followed his ridiculous diet scheme, and those that may have not taken appropriate cancer treatment versus his "hocus pocus" bullshit just to pick the pockets of dying folks and giving them false hope. FCK him, I hope he dies in prison, and a gruesome death at that.....
