wow enough time to read his own book a few times

CHICAGO (Reuters) - U.S. TV pitchman Kevin Trudeau, who was convicted last year of criminal contempt for exaggerating the contents of his weight-loss book in infomercials, was sentenced on Monday to 10 years in prison.

Trudeau, 51, who has been held in federal custody since his conviction in November, will also have five years of supervised release after serving his sentence, U.S. District Court Judge Ronald Guzman said.

"He is deceitful to the very core, and that type of conduct simply cannot stand," Guzman said, noting that Trudeau had been cited repeatedly for violating court orders over several years.

Trudeau was found guilty last November of violating a 2004 federal court settlement with the Federal Trade Commission that barred him from misrepresenting the contents of his books in advertisements.

A jury found he violated the agreement while marketing his book, "The Weight Loss Cure 'They' Don't Want You To Know About," in infomercials made in 2006 and 2007 that aired about 32,000 times.

What a complete load of crap. I have followed this case for several years and am horrified at what they have done to him. The FTC was the first to get him and fine him 39M dollars.

What they charged was that he said his diet was "easy". That was the deceitful thing he said? What ridiculous BS. The government just wants his money and he was a massive target. When they didn't get it, then the criminal charges came. Easy to get a jury of jealous envious people that have been taught to hate the successful in today's society.

I've been watching this happen more and more often lately.

In 1990, Trudeau posed as a doctor in order to deposit $80,000 in false checks, and in 1991 he pleaded guilty to larceny. That same year, Trudeau faced federal charges of credit card fraud after he stole the names and Social Security numbers of eleven customers of a mega memory product and charged $122,735.68 on their credit cards.

Do your research. Don't make yourself out to be a clown. Unless of course you condone that kind of activity.

Should have sentenced him to run for political office then.

Don't listen to him. He's a clown.

Again, do your research before you jump into conversations like a white knight.

Big Pharma is not stupid enough to say they found "the diet secret" then tell you to eat 500 calories a day after walking for an hour.
