It was a scam that would have made Ostap Bender proud. City police are investigating a company that obtained the medical records of people suffering from eye maladies and used the information to market therapeutic eye drops that contained nothing but distilled water.



OSTAP BENDER!! MY HERO!!
He was the super conman from a pair of books by Stalin-era writers Ilf and Petrov. Several movies were made and remade about the first book "12 Chairs". One version was even made be Mel Brooks.

Laughing, distilled water, now that is true 'faith healing'.

At least he did not add mercury, etc to it.

LOL, your photos remind me of the "dasteredly evil villian", of the old stage plays, with a black cape on, and designs on the 'sweet young blond'.
