It's one of those great 1980's late night infomercials that never seemed more appropriate to today's mess.......enjoy the 4 minutes of laughter.

The guy was serious, he made tons of money selling the courses, don't know about how his clients did with their RE investments though......heh.

Apparently he is now a professional poker player of some note.

Kind of like the Rich Daddy, Poor Daddy dude that filed bankruptcy and soon discovered he could make a heck of a lot of money giving seminars on how to get rich?!?! WTF!?

I have a great idea as to how to make money in real estate. Please send me your money & I'll buy some.

Did you ever stop and think about how much "business" in this country is really only about people telling other people how to make money. Nothing is ever created, only the same old bullshit. And yet people keep falling for the "you can make millions working from home in your spare time". Maybe America deserves what it is getting today, since this mentality is so insane.

I have a better idea. Invest in Nigeria and become instant millionaire. No need to buy a real estate. Just send me $500 initial deposit into my bank account and I'll transfer $10 million of unclaimed money into you account.

I already sent you my money... by the way, how's your dead uncle?

Lol! My dead uncle is doing fine in his new life as an animal.

When I first come to this country I was dish-washer, with hard word I get promoted to bus-boy.

In business courses, the running joke is more money was made during the gold rush by people selling equipment to prospectors than was actually dug up.

I always liked these informercials, I thought it was funny how effective the whole pimp thing was with all the hot girls around him.

I like the suits. Polyester blends make me hot...

"More Americans Falling For 'Get Rich Slowly Over A Lifetime Of Hard Work' Schemes
OMAHA, NE—A report released Monday by the Omaha-based public-interest group Aurora indicates that increasing numbers of Americans are being defrauded by schemes that offer financial reward for a lifetime of hard work. "People don't realize that long-term savings and loyalty to one company don't pan out," said Sylvia Girouard, the study's author. Girouard added that steady employment which claims to offer long-term financial gain in the form of a pension plan is nothing more than an elaborate Ponzi scheme."

There was a SNL skit where the infomercial was "how to get rich by selling a $50 book on TV"

"TOM VU"... I remember him.

Thanks for posting. I keep looking if any posting on internet... Anyone know anything about this guy now, in jail, homeless or retired?

Anyone.
