Kevin Trudeau
Kevin Trudeau is a controversial American author and television personality known for his infomercials promoting health, diet, and financial advice books.
He has faced numerous legal issues, including convictions for fraud and larceny in the 1990s.
Trudeau's marketing practices led to conflicts with the Federal Trade Commission, resulting in fines and restrictions on his advertising activities.
In 2013, he was convicted of criminal contempt and sentenced to 10 years in federal prison.
Despite his incarceration, his infomercials continued to air.
Trudeau was released in 2022 after serving 8 years, but the FTC continues to pursue an unpaid $37 million fine against him.
