What are you referring to there -- do you have a link? Sad.
I stopped following Glenn awhile ago, also sadly, as I used to be a fan, but he turned me off with hystrionics. I feel bad for the guy, but I'm not going to part with my money because of it -- he has enough to seek proper care for whatever is breaking him down.
Albion I saw it on I think it was the discover channel. Maybe History channel about Gold. The company that Beck ran ads for constantly (Calif company) was cited for getting callers interested in gold then selling them OVERPRICED coins etc. No one went to jail but they did pay some fines and promised to change their ways. Sorry this is from memory.
