> Steve Warshak, founder of the company responsible for “Enzyte,” has been sentenced to 25 years in prison and ordered to pay a fine of $93,000, says the AP. U.S. District Judge S. Arthur Spiegel also ordered the company, along with other defendants, to forfeit more than $500 million that it bilked from consumers.
>
> According to federal prosecutors the scam involved preying on customer’s reluctance to admit that they had ordered the “male enhancement” pills. Customers ordered the pills, but were unable to cancel or get a refund. A former VP of the company testified that Warshak required customers to provide notarized documents from a doctor proving that they had small genitals in order to get a refund.

I hope the biggest inmates in the jail wail on the guy with metal lunch trays while smiling and whistling the tune from those annoying fucking commercials.

Yep, that’s a pretty stiff punishment.

I have a mental image of his cellmate telling him, “Dunno why they sent you to jail… the stuff worked just GREAT for me!”

This is no small matter. I’ve thought long and hard about it, and I think they should recieve stiff sentences. People have a right to be teste about being forced to provide documentation of their small penises and hopefully, this will enhance the case against these pricks.

I am sure he will be treated with vas(t) deferens in prison. What a slimy sack of meat(us).

$500 million dollars! People bought this stuff to the tune of $500 million dollars! Wow. Just wow!
Next you’ll be telling me that the radio commercials I keep hearing about working from home in my spare time are also proving lucrative for the seller.

I wonder what sort of response this will arouse in similar scammers. They might pull out of their sordid ventures before its too late.
Then again the prosecutors might have been premature in bringing him in now - if they held out a little longer they might have nailed more scammers.

While he’s in jail, maybe penance will ensue.

I don’t think he should have been sent to prison at all. A good flogging would be enough.
