While I'm glad to see it, unfortunately I don't think it will change much.



$5 million is chump change for Trudeau, and he'll likely get some kind of surrogates to do the infomercial crapola for him. So I fully expect him to keep on keepin' on in the pseudoscientific sCAM business.



What we really need to do with douchebags like Trudeau is throw their lying asses in jail.



That could work; it's kind of hard to run a business when you're in the slammer.



ETA: I strongly suspect that Trudeau is already on to the next phase of his sCAM work. For many months I've been hearing radio ads by some guy (not Trudeau) who claims that Trudeau's Natural Cures is the best thing since sliced bread. "I was so impressed that I bought 1 million copies of the book, and I want to share them with you. Just call 1-800..." I think, though I have no evidence at this time, that it is very likely that Trudeau is in cahoots with this radio guy, who is acting as a surrogate for him.



I think we can also expect to start hearing surrogate ads about how this is the book that the government doesn't want you to read, references to this decision by the FTC will be made, the Big Pharma/Government conspiracy-mongering will be pushed, etc.



Trudeau isn't going anywhere - there is more skullduggery to come. Count on it.
