Trudeau is the guy that pitches his books "Free Money....", and Weight Loss Pratices They Don't Want you to Know About" on TV

After losing a civil suit filed by the FTC for Fraudulent and Deceptive Practices, for which he was fined 37 Million dollars, Trudeau is facing 30 days in jail for Contempt of Court as a result of actions he took in filing an appeal for his case. It's a bizarre case in which Trudeau takes the 1st Amendment argument to new levels.

I have seen this guy pitch his products on Late, Late TV, and I never liked him. His demeanor and presentation just reeks of "Scam Artist".

Well, he's finally busted! And to the tune of 37 million! And he doesn't stop there! He's going to try to manipulate the Court during his appeal process.

He doesn't need to get 30 days, he deserves 30 Years!

If you think I'm going over the top here, see what the people on consumeraffairs.com have to say about him.

Yeah he is (was).

I think this episode is going to put him out of business.

I didn't even know about the FTC suit. If it had not been for his stupidity in thinking he was going to influence the Judge by getting supporters to write to the court, the FTC fine may have gone unnoticed.

I never liked him and figured his pitch was a scam.
