U win some! U throw some!
I would like to know what everyone's thoughts are on Kevin Trudeau and the IPT Tour. I have been doing some research. Kevin Trudeau has been involved in a lot of criminal activity in the past according to The Smoking Gun and other articles that I have read on the Internet.

Kevin Trudeau - The Smoking Gun

This makes me wonder if Mr. Trudeau is trying to pull one over on us in the pool world. Is the IPT simply a scheme so that he can pay off all of his fines? What are his true intentions? It seems as though he is good at taking money out of people's pockets by scamming them.

What are your thoughts?
 
Why do people call it the IPT Tour?
IPT Tour = International Pool Tour Tour
It is like saying PIN Number or ATM Machine.
:D
 
There are over 20,000 posts on the IPT forum here. You will find plenty of opinions on KT and the IPT there.

In a word: BORING.

Please use AZB forums for your continued research. I doubt you will have a new thought.

Use the search function on the top bar. The stuff about Trudeau's criminal history will be near the beginning of the IPT discussions probably between August and December 2005. Also there is a billiards digest article in their online archive that discusses this I believe.

You will get more information there than asking people to discuss it again I think. Everyone is complaining about cheques right now.
 
you gotta be kidding

Could your name be R. Van Winkle?
 
The whole scam idea is such a joke, even the people who dislike KT know it's not a scam, a scheme to make money? maybe, but not a scam.

I have yet to see anyone come up with any way this could be a scam, you do realize in a scam the originator makes off with lots of money, and don't bring up the qualifiers, no way in the world that would have come close to covering the cost of even production.

scam:rolleyes:

LOL, he was fine by FDA for 2.4Million and ban from TV infomercial appearances including his "natural remedy" products. That's why I still cringe when I see his website on IPT sidebar.

Most likely a scheme that did not pan out.

It would be interesting to know the amount of money KT spent on those first two events. Most likely more money than all the tournaments in the states together paid out this year.

Perhaps it was a vehicle to publicize his book.

Perhaps he used it to lower his tax obligation. He would rather waste his money on pool rather than give it to the tax man?

Perhaps he was just being extravagant and enjoying himself.

Perhaps he did it just because he could.

Wasnt it annouced at the last IPT event that Trudeau had sold this tour? I wonder if the buyer will aquire all of these debts too? That qualifies as a scam.

No, the goal of doing this kind of business to appreciate the value of the product to cover your debts. So basically, if you have a very promising and sound business, you finance it using a loan then hope that the value of your business will appreciate then sell it. You profitted without even spending your own money. This practice is very common. Search for private-equity firm.
 
<<Wasnt it annouced at the last IPT event that Trudeau had sold this tour?>>

No, it was stated that negotiations (or a similar characterization) were taking place...or might take place.

<<I wonder if the buyer will aquire all of these debts too? That qualifies as a scam.>>

HUH? If the supposed buyer acquires all the debts that would be the best possible news for the players. How would that be a scam?
 
Remember "The Sting"

No interest in speaking one way or another about the IPT, but do want to clarify your words.

There are varying degrees of business people and how they go about taking down a big score. It happens in real estate, stocks, bonds, etc. Some business moves take years to set up and with great investments. In other words, I do not know of a successful major bank heist that was not in the works for a very long time.

With this said, the IPT is negotiating for big bucks with big money businesses about the tour, and its value. i would like to think that the tour will do well, but it will require major sponsorship beyond kT's pocket.

I will admit it does not look good, how qualifier entries keep going up and there the talks a a mojer sell-off but until we know more only time will tell.

I hope things work out for all the pro players and someone does buy the tour. I also hope the saw the movie "The Sting". Even the smartest can be taken, if in fact it is the case with this new tour.
