Jail Will Do That To Rich Guys

Too funny.
From the Chicago Sun: He claimed he was “penniless and homeless.”
But an overnight stay in federal jail seems to have had a remarkable effect on discredited TV pitchman and convicted felon Kevin Trudeau’s memory.
After just one evening locked up away from the comforts of his luxury Oak Brook home in September, the fraudster revealed he’d “just remembered” a secret Swiss bank account he’d previously failed to disclose, according to newly filed court papers.
Trudeau — who for six years has avoided paying a single cent of a $38 million court fine for falsely advertising his weight loss book — wrote checks worth nearly $75,000 from the hidden Swiss account on Aug. 23, more than two weeks after he’d been banned from moving any money by U.S. District Judge Robert Gettleman, according to the filing by court-appointed receiver Blair Zanzig.  http://www.suntimes.com/23860195-761/after-night-in-jail-penniless-tv-pitchman-remembers-swiss-account.html
My guess the strip searches, the shower where he dropped the soap, and bedding with Bruno helped him with his memory.
Oh, and this guy is a pitchman for Mega Memory audio tapes.

  1. I can't believe he was sentenced to that many years in prison. It did not turn out well after Trudeau's most recent arrest huh?!
