After decades of litigation over his claims of miracle schemes to lose weight or gain wealth— and more than eight years in federal prison — TV pitchman Kevin Trudeau still has fans willing to give him millions of dollars.
The Kevin Trudeau Fan Club, founded by devoted followers to route money onto Trudeau’s commissary account while he was serving a federal prison sentence for making fraudulent claims in infomercials, has raised approximately $3 million, according to testimony this week at hearings aimed at learning whether Trudeau is hiding still more millions he could be using to pay off a $37 million fine levied by the Federal Trade Commission more than a decade ago.
