Enzyte users. Why is Bob smiling?

[Ns1]

Steve Warshak, founder of the company responsible for "Enzyte," has been sentenced to 25 years in prison and ordered to pay a fine of $93,000, says the AP. U.S. District Judge S. Arthur Spiegel also ordered the company, along with other defendants, to forfeit more than $500 million that it bilked from consumers.

According to federal prosecutors the scam involved preying on customer's reluctance to admit that they had ordered the "male enhancement" pills. Customers ordered the pills, but were unable to cancel or get a refund. A former VP of the company testified that Warshak required customers to provide notarized documents from a doctor proving that they had small genitals in order to get a refund.

If customers complained, he said, employees were instructed to "make it as difficult as possible" for them to get their money back. In some cases, Teegarden said, Warshak required customers to produce a notarized statement from a doctor certifying Enzyte did not work.

"He said it was extremely unlikely someone would get anything notarized saying they had a small penis," Teegarden said.

The judge had strong words for Warshak:

"This is a case about greed," Spiegel said as he reviewed the case. "Steven Warshak preyed on perceived sexual inadequacies of customers."

Warshak's 75-year-old mother was also sentenced to jail time, but it's unlikely that she will serve it because she's 75 and has cancer. Meanwhile, Warshak has 30 days to report to prison.

He'll be pleased he won't need to refund any of the inmates as he'll be seeing plenty of giant dongs up close and personal.

I've seen Enzyte commercials as recently as last week or the week before that. I was astounded that they were still playing.

Two nights ago I saw the Bob commercial and the Extenze commercial in the same half hour, with that same homely, eye batting, telepromter reading woman. I can't believe people really fell for those pitches. tsk...tsk....tsk. Non-surgical male enhancement is about as likely as seeing the Easter Bunny. Must have been some desparate d00ds out there. :roll:
