AdFreak: Poker-faced Enzyte maker caught bluffing

AdFreak: Poker-faced Enzyte maker caught bluffing: "The man behind Enzyte is facing more than 20 years in prison and millions in forfeited revenue after a federal jury found him guilty Friday of conspiracy to commit mail fraud, bank fraud and money laundering.

Prosecutors claimed customers were bilked out of $100 million through a series of deceptive ads, manipulated credit card transactions and the company's refusal to accept returns or cancel orders.” Steve Warshak, the founder and president of Enzyte distributor Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals, was convicted along with his mother."

Huh, I could swear that I was still seeing commercials. Maybe they were long-running pre-pays or maybe I'm watching really old dvr shows ...
