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. Amazingly, remarkably few customers availed themselves of the refund offer. Unfortunately, it looks like the commercials will still be able to continue...
How do people suspend their critical thinking enough to believe these things? Snake oil has been around forever, it looks like it's not going away any time soon.

This is the old "eleven albums for a penny" scam you used to see in old comic books.

rediculous.
They use the same thought process that they use before they purchase "Airborne".
As a medical scientist, I cannot help but cringe any time I walk through the cashier aisle of a drug store, that is inundated with glorified sugar pills that claim to do anything from giving you more energy, to curing sleeplessness, to providing you with more stamina in bed, curing cancer or getting you pregnant (*the last couple may have been made up).
I was on a federal court jury a few years ago. The judge explained to us that in the federal judicial system, there is no such thing as parole. If you get sentenced to 25, you do 25.
removing what controls exist today on it would give many more people the justification to use drugs. There is a small group that really cares that they are illegal and without that, they would gladly use whatever was available.
If this group is small, then how do you get "many more" people as being a subset of that group?
I do know that today in the US 20-30% of the population would agressively jump on the drug bandwagon if they knew it was safe and wasn't illegal.
(a) How do you 'know' that?
(b) What does it matter if, as you said, its safe?
I think you are engaging in hyperbole.
And more time than Hans Reiser (15 to life means he'll be out in 10).
He wishes.

I live less than 5 miles from their headquarters and it was all over the news here when the FBI raided their place a couple years ago (or whenever it was). Their headquarters/call center is a one level shit hole that used to be a JC Penney credit card call center.
Check Google Maps Streetview for Waycross Rd & Mill Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45240. Their building is the small one under the sun in that view.
Milk production has nothing to do with breast size. Breast size is purely how much fat is being deposited in the breast. Actually, larger breasts make breastfeeding more difficult, since the longer milk ducts have to be kept from getting bent and twisted in all that fat. The enlargement of the breasts while breastfeeding is due to enlargement and engorgement of the underlying milk glands (similar to mumps and other diseases enlarging and engorging the lymph glands). The fat deposits are on top of the milk glands.
As far as penis size goes, yes, too long is quite uncomfortable, often leaving internal bruising that lasts for days. And smaller penises actually ejaculate with greater pressure to the point of the ejaculation being felt by the female partner, as well as a very distinct and noticeable pulsing effect. Larger penises more like dribble, and the pulsing effect is also lessened.
