'Infomercial King' Kevin Trudeau Sent To Jail

The controversial American author (Kevin Trudeau) violated court orders of paying a fine of $37 million. This fine was for the alleged false marketing claims. The federal judge in Chicago told him that he can't talk his way out of this. Kevin  Trudeau has claimed that he has no money to pay the fine, which started from alleged false claims about his weight-loss book.

The FBI reported that for years Mr. Kevin Trudeau has been living in a in the lap of luxury even if he claimed he was broke and refused to pay the court's fine. The Federal Trade Commission presented bank statements showing Kevin Trudeau’s latest extravagances and added allegations that Trudeau hid a bank account in Australia containing $20,000. This was in the days after a July court hearing at which he was taken to jail.
 

On Wednesday, the Federal Trade Commission Lawyers presented evidence that Trudeau spent $900 at a liquor store, $359 on two haircuts, and $920 on cigars.

Earlier this summer, Judge Robert Gettleman wrote that he has seen evidence that Trudeau is living a much more Luxurious life than the broke man he professes to be. He witnessed this by saying that Trudeau uses top-dollar attorneys and that he drives a $340,000 Bentley in addition to employing two personal chefs plus his suburban Chicago home based butler.

Kevin Trudeau’s lawyer (Thomas Kirsch) asked  the Judge (Robert Gettleman) to reconsider, telling them that Trudeau doesn't have the $37 million he was extracted to pay as a penalty five years ago. The judge told Kirsh that he is asking for Trudeau's honesty, and has not got it yet.
 

 These long-time standing legal difficulties on the infomercial king started from his book called "The Weight-Loss Cure", which he falsely advertised as giving simple solutions on how to lose weight.

It is said that If Kevin Trudeau ever pays the fine, the money shall be shared among readers who purchased the book.
