Nor Can The World’s Greatest Vitamin
“They say the marshal always gets his man, but there’s no guaranteeing the condition the fugitive will be in when nabbed,” Phoenix New Times reports.
“Take infomercial huckster Don Lapre, who made the not-so smooth move of failing to appear for his arraignment in federal court on 41 counts of fraud-related charges. After his no-show on Wednesday, June 22, a warrant was issued for his arrest.
“U.S. Marshals had him in custody by Thursday evening.
“But when federal agents stopped the car Lapre was in, near Warner Road and Interstate 10 in Tempe, they found the marketing guru suffering from deep, self-inflicted knife wounds to his thigh and groin.
The U.S. Marshals Service believes the vitamin peddler had been trying to hit his femoral artery in order to bleed out and commit suicide.”

“Last weekend while cleaning out the garage, I found my original package from Don Lapre and Making Money Chicago. Everything is in there, and post-dated January 9, 1995, the VHS tape with Don’s 11 Secrets to Success, Pennies on the Dollar booklet, the national list of newspapers and so on. Had to add that, funny stuff to me. That’s kind of where it all started for me I guess.”
