...so if his books were all so much BS, why did people keep buying them? Ridiculous sentence. Corzine is still running loose.

Of course he’s a fraudster. But no more than most writers of self-help books.
Something doesn’t smell right here. They are criminalizing opinion. There are freedom-of-press issues here; they are going after low-hanging fruit to establish a precedent. Then they ramp up from there.

I think you are correct. My wife has several of Trudeau's books and I have read parts of them. We both agree they contain useful information and insights. His offers of ‘free publications’ are not fraudulent. His people carefully tell you that other ‘other offers’ cost money and just say ‘decline’ and the free books will still be free except for a normal shipping charge. This whole prosecution really stinks.

First convicted of fraud more than twenty years ago. He has never let up.

I was addressing the reason people buy his books, not the validity of the sentence or even the prosecution.
To: Sans-Culotte
I agree - it sounds bizarre.
So he wrote a bunch of books full of blarney and exaggerated claims. Big deal -- there are whole industries built on that methodology. If people choose to bite - that is their prerogative.
There are chronic liars in our Government who cause a heckuva lot more damage and that force us to pay for their blarney (and crap sandwiches) against our choice. Those folks should be spending time breaking rocks.

He gets 10 years for basically deceiving people? Obama should spend his life in jail...seriously. He deceived millions of people by telling blatant lies about Obamacare which is costing the taxpayers trillions of dollars.
To: SeekAndFind
His real problem was with the FDA. According to the FDA, you can't make health claims about ANYTHING unless you first hire their buddies to perform "clinical studies" for millions of dollars.
The FDA is another of the US feral government's continuing criminal enterprises.

The last name says it all!
We are stuck with ‘Bébé’ Trudeau (Justin) and suffered for too many years under ‘Papa’ Trudeau (Pierre Elliot).
To: Sans-Culotte
So when does the Kenyan get to do the perp walk in a cuffs and an orange jumpsuit? Talk about massive deception and fraud.
To: SeekAndFind
Yeah, he’s no more of a fraudster than Joel Osteen. Wonder if they recovered that money stolen from the offerings yet.
