Cincinnati, OH (The Weekly Vice) -- Steve Warshak, the 40 year old owner of the company that sells Enyte, a supposed "male enhancement" tablet has been convicted of conspiricy, bank fraud and money laundering.
According to prosecutors, Berkely Premium Nutraceuticals, the company that sells Enzyte, used a series of deceptive ads which feature a smiling "Bob" who 'swells with pride' after the use of the debunked tablet. The advertising also claims an improved sexual performance with it's use.
Prosecutors also say that consumers were 'bilked' out of millions of dollars when the company manipulated credit card transaction and refused to provide refunds for returned merchandise and/or cancelled orders. Former employees have testified that the company created fake doctors and doctor endorsements to promote the product.
Warshak, the company's owner now faces up to 20 years in prison and awaits sentencing.
The Weekly Vice Opinion:
This finding should debunk the entire male enhancement industry which thrives on cheezy commercials and dorky infomercials. We should add a strong cautionary note here however that Enzyte is FAR from being unique in it's sales practices. Refusal to refund a consumer's money on a cancelled or returned order has become almost common-place among pay by phone retailers. The list is far far to lengthy to even begin here.
We're going to provide a link here that should be in EVERY person's favorites.
Before spending a single penny over the phone with any company, we highly recommend that you research it's consumer complaint history over at www.ripoffreport.com . This is an collective database of scam alerts which has become the authority on potential scams in our opinion.

So happy to hear this ass might be serving 20+ years...the Warshak family moved to the San Diego area a few years back for a brief time, they bought an overpriced huge estate on the ocean....my friend worked for them and Mr. Warshak was a complete, pompous idiot....his wife looked miserable all the time, I questioned spousal abuse for sure!! Karma, Karma, Karma...when you are a complete sleaze, it will come back to bite you in your ass....THANK GOD! You deserve it steve warshak!! ( I feel sooo sorry for your family!!)
Steve Warshak is the owner, not the actor. The actor is John Larson, who I've read died recently in a boating accident. Not sure if that's true or not.
Steph, You apparently didn't read the article. That detail was covered in the very first sentence.
But the actor is the face everyone knows, obviously
First comment is a dick...wanna get your ass kicked small dick?
