Yes, he is dead. It's a sad day in the world of MLM. Let us bow our heads in a moment of silence for a true pioneer and coward, Donny Lapre. Three kids and he bows out like this? There is no sympathy from me.

Im shocked that he ended it this way. He should have fought it. ITs not his fault the dumb asses who bought his shit couldn't make money with it. Its what you put into it... He should have been fighting this all the way to the end.

Not sure why he didn't.

As for his tiny little ads theory its actually pretty solid. Many of us in this biz have taken that theory to an extent and based our current biz on those theories of mass producing ads all over the internet. It was a solid theory that I always felt held water and actually inspired the way I advertised. I liked the guy and how he pitched shit. Thought he was pretty good. Really admired the way he could lure in people to his dream pitch. Not anyone could do it and he did it very very well.
A Great salesman.

He fucked up with the whole vitamin shit. Not sure how that worked or what it was he did that got him in trouble. But false claims on vitamins are nothing new and as far as I thought not illegal. We see it all the time. I guess he was in trouble for not refunding money? What is it that really got him in this trouble?

He fucked up by saying this is risk free and giving them a 60 days gaurenteeee money back offer... He should have never said that.

Tom Vu would never say that! He would just call them losers if they couldn't make it with his ideas.

Thus the reason I have no sympathy for him, his way out was fitting, if anything.

Nothing worse than a lying crooked thief.....

He took me for about $300 20 years ago when I bought his worthless books that talked about taking out classifieds in newspapers to sell his worthless crap. Back then I was out of work and that $300 meant a lot to me. I was typical of the type of person he preyed on.

You get done reading the 5 small books he sends you and I was pretty much ready to throw them away. Mind you, these where pamphlets than books.

Then he moved into the Website Business in a Box model which was another scam. Sorry, he's not missed and just one more crook not using up air space.

So was that the gimmick? Sell his shit in your "tiny ad"? So you'd have to buy the product from him after you bought his little pamphlets?
