It makes me wonder more about the speaker than the two-bit rip-off artist that finally got what was coming to him. I mean there are some clever uses of his product titles such as " mega memory", but still... Most people want instant something, they hope for some magic, like the fifteen year old boy who recently wanted us to give him a link to "fix" his POS poem.

If this were just funny, it would be OK, but the speaker seems so antagonistic it just comes off as a slightly unhinged rant. The instant Karma approach would probably work if you kept it light. As for the last stanza, It's like Barnum says... but usually they wise up after a time or two. Sorry, I just don't see it as an us versus them, that way leads to paranoia and insanity.

Thanks Dale for you read and impressions, as well as recommedations. I may edit this down a bit and play up the humor some more as you advice. Nonetheless, this guy should disgust the world. Every claim he made was bogus. He bilked folks out of 10's of millions of dollars. He was a leader in the manufacture of conspiracy theories. He books were psychological manipulations with no techniques or products divulged in them. They were bound infomercials to entrap desperate folks to subscribe to a monthly fee for his website access. Then he would go on TV and run infomercials for the books. He selected the elderly and housewives as his targets. See, I am charged up, but elated that he will pay for his crimes.
