Cómo conseguir seguidores en Twitter
In traditional retail, this wouldn’t matter so much. Bridal shops are different, because of the amount of custom ordering and alteration they do. In the case of Savvy Silhouette, there’s a unique problem: all of those gowns in the store are being sold on consignment, and they don’t belong to the store itself.
The business model is pretty simple: you leave your dress at the store, and they give you half if they sell it. Maybe you could get more for the gown elsewhere, but selling on consignment is easier. This business model becomes a problem if the business suddenly disappears, and that’s what customers say happened.
“We trusted her to try to resell our stuff for us,” one consignor told TV station KTVI. “I know they were unwanted dresses, but it wasn`t right for her to take the dresses and not return them.”
The store owner says that she isn’t stealing the dresses, but the shop is relocating. Why hasn’t she contacted her customers? She claims that her phone where all of their contact information was stored has been stolen. Oh.

The appeal [PDF] contends that federal prosecutors failed to move his case forward in the timely manner required by the Speedy Trial Act, and that the District Court should have granted his earlier motion to dismiss the case.
He additionally claims that the court erred by instructing the jury that it could find that Trudeau acted willfully by “disregarding a substantial risk that his actions would violate the law,” i.e., by acting recklessly.
In the appeal, Trudeau’s lawyers contend that the the government failed to show that he willingly violated the court order. They say the only evidence given at trial to back up this claim were the infomercials for his book The Weight Loss Cure — which shows Trudeau making statements about how you can lose weight quickly, easily, and without exercise — and the actual book, in which Trudeau reveals that his weight loss “cure” actually requires a harsh, and potentially deadly, 500 calorie/day diet, along with regular exercise, not to mention colonics and prescription injections of hormones found only in pregnant women.
According to Trudeau, these pre-recorded infomercials in which he makes statements that directly contradict the information in the very book he’s selling, don’t prove that he made these statements willfully.
One other issue raised by the appeal is the severity of Trudeau’s sentence. Ten years is rare for criminal contempt cases.
You could make the case that keeping Trudeau behind bars is the only way the government will collect on the $37 million judgement against the charming fraudster. Before he was found guilty of contempt in 2013, he was jailed when the court discovered he was continuing to live a rather nice lifestyle thanks to a previously undisclosed bank account in Australia.
At Trudeau’s sentencing in April, the judge spoke harshly of the defendant.
“Since his 20s, he has steadfastly attempted to cheat others for his own gain,” said the judge, later adding, “He has treated federal court orders as if they were mere suggestions, or impediments to be side-stepped, out-maneuvered or just ignored.”
Meanwhile, Trudeau maintains a loyal group of devoted followers online, who post hopeful messages to his regularly updated Facebook page, and who even help him fulfill his requests for reading material from the outside world.
However, the link for the KT Legal Defense Fund site currently goes to a GoDaddy page, so none of his 20,000 followers seem to be keeping up the web hosting bills.
And even though the knowledge in Trudeau’s books might be worthless, they are still legally sold, and TV stations still occasionally air the Trudeau infomercials that don’t contain misleading statements.
Trudeau sold the rights to his books to a third party, which collects a royalty for the author but pays it to the government to pay down the many millions that he owes the feds.
As always, we can’t write about a behind-bars Kevin Trudeau without referencing another jailed genius, George Bluth, author of Caged Wisdom:

Want to know why were [sic] closed?
Ask our corporate offices why their employees are forced to work in borderline sweatshop conditions. Almost the entire management and crew have resigned.

Soon, the sign disappeared, and Chipotle contacted local news outlets to do some damage control. “Unfortunately we had to close this location after a few employees quit, locking out a majority of others who are enthusiastic to return to work. We expect the restaurant to re-open shortly,” the company said in a statement e-mailed to press and to hungry customers. Maybe this is true, or maybe the entire staff walked out: whatever the case, corporate brought in reinforcements and the store re-opened in time for dinner. Just in time, apparently.

In an interview with local publication Onward State, a former manager of the Chipotle explained the conditions that led to a staff walkout. This was an independent revolt, not affiliated (as far as we know) with the nationwide unionization drive and wave of protests with the goal of improving wages in the fast food industry.
The manager told Onward State that the store is grossly understaffed: it has about half as many people as a restaurant with that much business should have, and employees were working for stretches of 10 or 12 hours with no meal breaks. This morning, the manager says, yet another employee quit, and at that point the management decided to shut the place down and put that sign in the window.
These two accounts don’t conflict with each other: Chipotle’s spin makes sense if the managers were the frustrated ones, trying to keep an understaffed restaurant going with no help from corporate. Regular line workers are, as Chipotle says, probably delighted to return.
