Walt, We are contractors for federal law enforcement agencies, and do a lot of fraud prevention work. We’ve personally interviewed hundreds of victims of scams like this, and it’s heartbreaking to see the impacts.
This morning, I reached out to a friend who is an agent with the FDA’s Office of Criminal Investigations. While he too was horrified at the blatant nature of this company, he said there was little FDA could do. They basically wait for the U.S. Attorney’s office to flag companies like this for investigation. There are so many of them that it’s impossible to investigate them all—the resources simply are not there. It mirrors the FCC in many aspects. When I was a young ham, and later broadcaster, we lived in fear (or at least a healthy respect for) the agency. Enforcement was swift, and compliance was seen as a solemn duty to the license holder. Nowadays, the FCC has become a paper tiger, and the bands reflect this. You can hear conversations on 75 Meter phone every night of the week that would not have been tolerated on Citizens Band in the 1970’s. I just don’t know how people live with themselves. I just George Noory must think that if he can talk for hours about ghosts, bigfoots, and UFO’s, then why not miracle cures. Some people just think that if people are determined to be cullible, then why not take advantage of them? Art Bell was a kook, but at least he treated his audience with respect. Maybe I’m just getting old. At 54, I thought I had a few more years before I’d find myself shouting at the neighbor kids to stay off my lawn..but maybe my time has come early. Hang in there Walt.
