Man wins sex doll complaint

Monday, February 4, 2008

A sex shop in Romania was fined £600 after a customer complained that an inflatable doll it sold him had lost its moan.

The shop in Brasov, Transylvania (which is a real place, even though it sounds like a pun on the phrase 'bras off') was also ordered to give the man, in his 40s, a new rubber doll.

He had also complained his doll deflated too quickly.

Iulian Mara, of the consumer protection office, said: 'We went to the sex shop and found out he was justified.'

You can buy a woman in Romania for less than double his award of 600 pounds. Saw it on CNBC. 800 Euros for a 14 year old girl in eastern europe. Bought her right off the street, took her to England to set her free. Russian girl that had been sold by her parents.

In my experience, they're generally faking it.

Yeah, when this happened with my first wife:

“Complained that an inflatable doll it sold him had lost its moan.”

I tried taking her back to her parents and they said no deal.

Well in hindsight, at least there is a concept of “consumer protection”.

Warshak faces 20 years

Seller of 'male enhancement' pills convicted on multiple charges

BY DAN HORN | DHORN@ENQUIRER.COM

The man who made millions of dollars selling "male enhancement" pills on TV was convicted Friday of misleading his customers, lying to banks and hiding his profits from authorities.

Steve Warshak, founder of Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals, now could face 20 years or more in prison, and his company could be forced to forfeit tens of millions of dollars.

Three other company employees, including Warshak's mother, Harriet, were convicted on related charges.

The verdict in U.S. District Court came after a monthlong trial that focused on how Berkeley grew in just a few years from a tiny mail-order business into a thriving company with 1,500 employees.

Federal prosecutors said Warshak's formula for success was simple: He made false claims in ads, ran up unauthorized charges on credit cards, then made it as difficult as possible for customers to stop getting his product in the mail.

Warshak and his lawyers denied wrongdoing and said he did his best to manage the rapid growth of his Forest Park company, which became known throughout the country for ads featuring a constantly grinning character, Smiling Bob.

Any problems at Berkeley were the result of company employees being overwhelmed by the demand for Berkeley's products, Warshak said.

The jury rejected that argument, finding instead that Warshak conspired with other company executives to commit mail, wire and bank fraud. He also was convicted of more than 60 money-laundering charges and of trying to hide some of his profits from the Federal Trade Commission.

Warshak remained stoic throughout the proceedings, but several friends and relatives of the defendants wept as the verdicts were read.

"It's a sad day," said Bruce Whitman, lawyer for Berkeley employee Amar Chavan, who was found not guilty on the two charges against him.

"I find it hard to believe the other defendants were convicted."

Whitman said the accusations against Berkeley and its employees should have been handled as a civil matter, rather than a criminal case. He said he was shocked the jury found Warshak and the others had committed crimes.

Warshak and his lawyer, Martin Weinberg, declined comment after the verdict. Harriet Warshak said she would appeal.

"We don't believe it was a fair verdict," she said.

Prosecutors declined comment, but they will be back in court Monday arguing that Berkeley now should be forced to forfeit as much as $100 million linked to criminal activity.

Much of that money came from the sale of Enzyte, an herbal supplement that promised to enhance sexual performance. Enzyte, the company's top-selling supplement, was pitched in national TV ads by Smiling Bob.

Berkeley remains open, but its future could be in doubt. The jury convicted the company of money-laundering, which exposes Berkeley to the potential loss of huge sums of money to forfeiture.

In addition to Warshak and his mother, the jury convicted Berkeley's in-house counsel, Paul Kellogg, of money-laundering and conspiracy to obstruct federal proceedings.

It also convicted Berkeley employee Steven Pugh of helping Warshak hide a truck filled with pills from the Food and Drug Administration.

Warshak and the other defendants all remain free without bond pending their sentencing later this year.

Seven other company officials already have pleaded guilty to conspiracy charges but have not been sentenced.

Anyone knows who runs the Male Enhancement Ping List?

I'm sure they tested the merchandise thoroughly themselves to come to this conclusion. ;)

That wasn’t a moan. The doll wasn’t designed to moan. That sound you heard was the air escaping when you popped it on your first ride, you fat bastard.
