I doubt that scumbags had a taste of their own “medicine” in the recommended dose. That’s only for their marks.

I saw “Florida con man” and thought someone else…

And this is why when someone says “we don’t need the FDA anymore” they are dead wrong.

[reads just headline] Huh! I didn’t know Barron was involved.

This is one of the con artists profiled in the recent book If It sounds Like a Quack by Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling. Glad to see one of them get caught and punished! Good book.

If It Sounds Like a Quack...

With emphasis on the ‘dead’, of course.

Wait, these are the guys who started a church along with someone who claimed to be a billion-year-old space god. The space god dude eventually noped out of the organization because he thought the claims they were making were crazy…

Isn’t it interesting how often the terms “con artist” and “religion” seem to go hand in hand?

Honestly surprised that TFG didn’t video a supportive character statement for the rightly accused pair.

I saw “Florida con artist and his sons” and thought that this was about someone else.

These guys are fucking despicable; but, do they really need heavily armed and armoured stormtroopers to bring them in?

this picture is from Columbia, where they were captured when they fled. You can see the patch on the green rifle holder’s stomach.

Columbia is a bit more…aggressive in their pursuit.

All conspiracy theories lead to antisemitism.

All quack cures end up being used on autistic kids. “Shitting intestinal lining is a sign that it’s working.” Bastards.

Would have thought they’d use the “approved by Trump” defense.
