Months after TV pitchman Kevin Trudeau was released from federal prison, he could find himself back behind bars.
Kevin Trudeau leaves the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse in Chicago in October 2013.
In a letter to the judge on Monday, the FTC said Trudeau had not responded to a request for detailed accounting of his assets, including any cash, gold bars, jewelry, vehicles, safe deposit boxes, as well as an inventory of a storage facility recently visited by his wife in Switzerland, court records show.After nearly 20 years of thumb-nosing from Trudeau, the government doesn’t seem to be holding its breath that he’ll suddenly come clean.
More than 800,000 people bought the book that Trudeau claimed was filled with “easy” weight-loss techniques when it called for prescription injections of a hormone found only in pregnant women, a month of colon hydrotherapy and a 500-calorie-per-day diet. Shortly before Trudeau entered prison, the receiver released a report alleging Trudeau was still hiding tens of millions in an elaborate “asset protection plan” that diverted funds to banks in Switzerland and the Caribbean as well as various business entities and shell companies controlled by his wife and his personal attorney, Marc Lane.In all, Trudeau’s vast business empire collected more than half a billion dollars in revenue from 1999 to 2013, according to the receiver’s report at the time.
Soon his infomercials began popping up across the country advertising solutions for everything from hair loss and weak memory to excessive levels of debt.
