Spotify series "Fraudsters" tackles Kevin Trudeau in 3 parts

While America's Fraudster-in-Chief, president-reject Donald John Trump, continues to defraud his fans and followers with spurious claims of a "stolen" election and impassioned (and successful) pleas for the rubes' money, it's past time on this Whirled for renewed attention to another lifelong fraudster, imprisoned serial scammer Kevin Trudeau, aka KT, aka Katie, whom I've been blogging about since early 2009. As you most likely know if you've been following this blog even sporadically over the past few years, I've actually written a lot about the similarities between Donald Trump and Kevin Trudeau, not the least similarity being that they share a significant fan base, which is why I lost a few readers when I started writing about the profound awfulness of Trump.

And in fact, Trump and his campaign's efforts to frame their money-raising efforts in a "legal defense fund" to protect the integrity of the election and the Constitution (or some such nonsense) reminded me more than a little of Trudeau's own efforts over the years to raise money for his legal defense fund. Trudeau's defense fund has been promoted as a means to support unspecified legal efforts by Katie and, by extension, to somehow defend free speech, and freedom in general, for all of us. But according to the terms of both Katie's legal defense fund and the Trumpian funds, the money can pretty much be used any way the recipients want to use it, with zero accountability to those who fork over their hard-earned bucks. The difference, of course, is that Trump's efforts are on a much larger and more dangerous scale than anything Trudeau and his minions have managed so far.

That said, it would be a serious mistake to underestimate the scope and reach of Trudeau's scammery: after all, even though he continues to languish in the minimum-security FPC (Federal Prison Camp) in Montgomery, Alabama, aka "Camp Cupcake," he has still managed, with the help of various proxies and enablers, to maintain a significant following and attract new followers. I've been hammering away at this point on this blog for years. And that's why it's so gratifying to see the Spotify series Fraudsters addressing Trudeau's long scam career: a career that has been so lengthy that it took not one, and not two, but three separate podcasts to cover it all. The producer and host I spoke to acknowledged that they could easily do a whole season on Trudeau alone.

Since I am kinda media shy, apart from ranting on this blog and on my social media of course, I declined to "appear" on the podcast, but I did provide some info for which I was acknowledged on Part 3, the episode covering Trudeau's biggest scam of all, the Global Information Network (GIN). That episode aired on December 10, 2020.

Part 1 aired on November 26, 2020.

Part 2 made its debut on Dec. 3, 2020.

Kevin Trudeau may or may not be early-released soon (his official release date is either May or July of 2022), but one point seems painfully clear: In or out of the clink, he is a scammer for all seasons and all reasons. And his years of confinement have done nothing to change this; to this very day he is (again, through proxies and enablers) making himself out to be a hero and martyr along the lines of Jesus, Gandhi, and a host of other famous -- and infamous -- folks. Caveat emptor and all that.
