Feds Sue 'Winning in the Cash Flow Business' Infomercial Huckster

The mastermind behind a get-rich-quick scheme whose infomercials lured hundreds of thousands of victims is being sued by the Federal Trade Commission for defrauding consumers.

Russell Dalbey, CEO and founder of the company behind the "Winning in the Cash Flow Business" program, swindled consumers with fake claims about the fast, easy, big money they could make finding, brokering and earning commissions on seller-financed promissory notes, the FTC charged.

Although consumers paid as little as $40 to get started, they were pressured into spending far more on worthless products, the FTC charged, with many consumers losing thousands of dollars.
