The replies are ignorant. What is wrong with selling vitamins? And how can anyone be arrested and charged with "worthless business"? Sounds very ignorant and subjective to me. If people were stupid enough to buy his "worthless" products, shame on THEM. He did not reach out of the TV set and ROB you in your home. Sounds like he was railroaded by big pharma (FDA) and murdered in a Phoenix jail.

to all the FREAKS leaving disrespectful comments.

judge yourselves first, no one is perfect and these sellers live in their own 'ultra-capitalistic' worlds, people naturally gravitate towards it because capitalism is inherently greedy and optimistic. don't hate one of the messengers of that promise.

for someone to do that to themselves they must have been in torturous pain, and that's a very sad thing.

have a heart you pricks

I think there’s a big clue in the video that he didn't actually make big money at all:

"you too can make a fortune - I did from my 1 bedroom apartment!"

Em if he made a fortune why was he still living in a 1 bedroom apartment??? :/

@Gardners01 I am agreed. While homeopathic drugs and so called alternative medicine business flourishes around the world selling virtually hopes in the form of water i call this charge pretty hypocritical.

I can't say for sure, but I know one thing is certain. If you think outside the box or if you're someone who's lower class and you try and climb the ladder of success. Well guess who's waiting to charge you? Don't step out of line. Don't make too much money. Don't climb the ladder of success (unless it's a day job). And don't get anyone hooked on vitamines, or you're a danger to society, and you need to be imprisoned. Nothing is what you think it is. google.... infowars

@Gardners01 Lapre was charged with 41 counts of conspiracy, mail fraud, wire fraud, and promotional money laundering related to his Internet businesses. He was arrested on June 24, 2011, for failing to appear in court to face these charges.On October 2, 2011, Lapre died of an apparent suicide while awaiting trial in federal custody. Sounds like you were one of the SUCKERS Don RIPPED OFF. LMAO

I hear ya... I just think him slitting his own throat is a little extreme... Again he ran a money making scam which is bad... BUT not as bad as what some of these scumbags in life do... I understand your feelings though

[Kalopsia666]

@funkyflights granted, and i do agree that anyone stupid enough to fall for these infomercials deserve to lose their money, but that doesn't excuse this guy from taking advantage of ignorant people. It's one thing to sell a product that people don't like, it's another to knowingly sell a product that is pure bullshit, doesn't do what you say it does, and you're aware that the ONLY person benefiting is yourself. and he did this multiple times. It wasn't just one product. fuck this guy

[funkyflights]

@Kalopsia666 I would agree with that if someone was gonna commit murder or hurt a child... BUT his programs were a choice and people didn't have to participate... 

[Kalopsia666]

@funkyflights What are you talking about? If the person who commits suicide is a scumbag piece of shit that blatantly robbed people and provided nothing beneficial to society, then the world is better off. Suicide is great!
