The applicable laws should be "fraud", not "truth in advertising".

There's little public purpose served by segregating out commercial speech. There's enormous public purpose served by punishing people for commiting fraud.

I agree. And that's already illegal. They did not prosecute Alvarez for fraud because he did not benefit in any way by his lies.
