lpq's Journal: Enzyte-"Smiling Bob" gets 25yrs, $93K fine $500M forfeit.

If this isn't news for nerds watching late night sci-fi and such...

Consumerist reports an Associated Press release that Steve Warshak, 42 was found guilty of 93 counts of conspiracy, fraud and money laundering. His 75-yr/old mother who has cancer was found found guilty of conspiracy and other charges and was sentenced to 2-years but is free, pending appeal. US District Judge Arthur Spiegel, in Cincinnati, OH, denied Mr. Warshak's request to remain free pending appeal but gave him 30 days to wrap up his affairs and report to prison.

Besides Enzyte, Washak's company, Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals, who also distributes products to boost energy, manage weight, reduce memory loss and aid sleep, will be allowed to stay in business -- but must forfeit $500 million.

Among their most egregious offenses was a requirement of a Notarized statement from a doctor certifying that they had a small penis. Amazingly, remarkably few customers availed themselves of the refund offer.

Unfortunately, it looks like the commercials will still be able to continue...*sigh*...
