William J. McCorkel is now infamous for being tried and convicted of fraud.  He will be serving a prison sentence until 2014 unless something changes.  This all started when he decided to sell his real estate secrets on late night infomercials.  The infomercials sold packages of information telling purchasers how to make money on real estate, buying and selling foreclosed properties.  The only problem was that the promises did not match up with what was delivered. 

It is one thing to encourage people to believe that they are going to make millions if they follow one’s advice.  It is quite another to stack the deck against consumers in very unscrupulous ways.  William J. McCorkel was one who glitzed up his infomercials with all the luxuries money could buy.  Actually, in McCorkel’s case, it was everything money could lease.  His name may have been put on the side of a plane, but it did not belong to him.  Everything about his wealth was falsified. 

Then, McCorkel sold the packages of information at a high price – thousands of dollars each – and did not even send everything that was promised in the infomercial.  When customers wanted the rest of the materials, William J. McCorkel asked for more money. 

Finally, enough customers complained that the government began looking at his operation.  For one thing, he claimed to be making millions of dollars each year but was only claiming about $10,000 on his income tax.  That was a big tip-off for the IRS, who found his money being sent to the Cayman Islands.  McCorkel is in jail now, but lives on through Internet information including his own website.
