Consumerist reports an Associated Press release that Steve Warshak, 42, was found guilty of 93 counts of conspiracy, fraud and money laundering. His 75-year-old mother, who has cancer, was found guilty of conspiracy and other charges, and was sentenced to 2-years, but is free pending appeal. US District Judge Arthur Spiegel, in Cincinnati, OH, denied Mr. Warshak's request to remain free pending appeal, but gave him 30 days to wrap up his affairs and report to prison. Besides Enzyte, Washak's company, Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals, who also distributes products to boost energy, manage weight, reduce memory loss and aid sleep, will be allowed to stay in business — but must forfeit $500 million. Among their most egregious offenses was a requirement of a Notarized statement from a doctor certifying that they had a small penis.

They probably have every cent they ever made with that requirement.
What was amazing about the fact that very few of the customers wanted to get a notarized statement from their doctor that they had a little tiny tallywacker? Would anyone here wish to do that? What if the notary, the doctor, or a nurse talked?
This guy’s a sleeze. But I’ve had great luck with my Chinese herbal doc. I don’t even know where my regular cane is.
I would convict them even if the product worked simply because the commercials were so annoying. :)
Now the Japanese Enzyte commercial is funny

Fraudulent, but funny.
Cheers!
I certainly did not mean that herbs are never helpful.
In fact many drugs are isolations of substances from herbs.
Is the convicted individual Steve Warshak the person pictured, or is that pic simply some unknown actor paid to portray the grinning customer for their advertisements?
marking to read later
I’m pretty sure that an actor..but i’m not positive.
LOL...well, Bender is nuts, but I hear he is a well-oiled machine.

Ingredients
Despite being a compound of herbs, minerals, and vitamins, Enzyte formerly promoted itself under a fake scientific name of Suffragium asotas. While Enzyte's manufacturer claims this phrase translates as "better sex," this is incorrect; suffragium in Latin means vote, and asotas is not a Latin word at all. Harvard teaching fellow Rhett Martin says that the phrase might be an error for suffragor asotis, meaning "refuge for the dissipated."[2]
The sleazy character was convicted last February. He has had six months to “get his affairs in order.” Why does he need another thirty days? Lock him up!
