That's hardly long enough and not enough monetary forfeiture. This guy is a con man not a pitch man.

You may have missed the part where he also forfeited his $50,000 bail. Not to mention his legal costs. This guy is slowly being ground down. His informercials have all but disappeared from late night TV. He will eventually come to a sad end, they always do. It may be slow but life seems to have a way of evening things out.

I have seen on tv just recently :(

I love the title of the piece where it says "Infomercial Pest" lol

30 days in da clink is nothing for an experience ex con like Trudeau. He could do that stretch standing on his head. :wink:

I never knew of this man before today. I just read his wiki page. What a shartface. Why would anyone in the world belive he could run a successful pool tour?

> Personally I hope he has to go to a REAL prison,with true criminals,and is placed in the general population. If my dream comes true for him,he'll wind up being a "slot" as opposed to a "tab" :eek:,wearing lipstick,heels and a mophead for hair :cool:. Tommy D.

His latest pitch is for a system (Your Wish is Your Command) that gives you all your heart's desires including (figuratively speaking) your own personal financial genii.

How would you sue on something like this?

"Your Honor, his system did not give me the power to control men's minds, nor to get them to give me whatever I wanted."

"Get out of my court room, you idiot!"

I thought this meant he received the 30 days and fine for contempt of court, not the trial or sentenced. I believe he hasn't been convicted of anything yet. That may still be to come. Let's hope so.

i'm the kinda guy won't doesn't wish harm to anyone. but.............

since thay got this scumbag under the microscope i hope they see things
that make them want to ferment this berry a long time so he will be finer.

if they could do away with this sort of people (maidoff+trudeau) it would be a better place.
alot of hard earned money goes down the drain when these kind can get away with scams.

too too too many scammers !

Regardless of what people think about this guy, when did it become a crime to e-mail a judge?

Depends on what happens to him in those 30 days. Hahahha. There are some things money can't buy back. Lolol

lmao!!!!! Maybe the jailworld will do to him what he did to the pool world with the IPT! But probably without all the extra publicity and cameras.... ;)

I wonder if his book has a healthy cure for that?

Asking your supporters to deliberately annoy a judge with bombardments of e-mail would easily qualify as contempt of court. But.........

This may not be what Trudeau really did, even though that is what the article makes it sound like. It sounds like he asked his supporters to write letters of support, to urge the judge to hear the positive side - from his happy customers.

[Federal Judge] Gettleman said the deluge of hundreds of e-mails began the middle of last week after Trudeau posted a message on his Web site saying "Kevin needs your voice." The posting went on to ask supporters to e-mail Gettleman, listed the judge's e-mail address and asked that followers tell the judge how Trudeau had improved their lives.​

This too, is outside of the process of the court and is improper, but it is not as bad as the media spin. Trudeau was being stupid, but probably not disrespectful or intentionally provoking. Trudeau should have directed letters of support to his lawyer, who might have found a way to introduce them somehow (but I am not sure how).

Contempt of court? Well, I will invoke my constitutionally-protected first ammendment right of free speech to say Judge Gettleman is being a little bit extreme here. The judge had other options. He could have ordered Trudeau to cease and desist, etc. but instead chose to lay the hammer down. The judge has huge discretion here.

To be clear, I am no Trudeau fan. I wish he would stop his infomercials.

with a guy like tredeau, this will just get him riled up and he'll do more damage when he gets out.

i think KT perfectly personifies what we have become in this country. that is, we "hate" people like him, yet he's successful and everybody buys his products, and he's admired for his in essence, super cutthroat business practices. the bigger the asshole you are in this country, the less ethics you have, the more money you make and the better you do. try and think of an example where this is not true and i'd love to counter you.

anyway, im over it.
