Kevin Trudeau, author of the full-of-bullshit book Natural Cures “They” Don’t Want You To Know About, has been ordered to pay a $37,000,000+ fine for writing lies.
Urged by both the FTC and Trudeau to reconsider aspects of its August order, on November 4 Judge Gettleman amended the judgment to $37,616,161, the amount consumers paid in response to the deceptive infomercials. The judge also revised the three-year ban to prohibit Trudeau from “disseminating or assisting others in disseminating” any infomercial for any informational publication in which he has an interest. On December 11, the court denied Trudeau’s request to reconsider or stay this ruling.

For all of these reasons the court concludes that the amendment has no clear secular purpose, and that the stated purpose is a sham.
I have a new mancrush.
