CleverCynic Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 The people of Q-ray were ruled against for deceit in the placebo market to the tune of 16M. Their defense to the deceit was not that it was truthful, but that the deceit was necessary to achieve the placebo effect which is well documented as an imaginary crutch. The judge stated in full opinion they went too far by creating a series of psychobabble scientific terms that do not exist, namely a q-ray and any lack of ionization at all in this bronze piece sold as either "gold" or "silver". Primarily the price is what sent the judiciary reeling as the lies priced this placebo out of the market for a reasonable cost of a placebo. Full opinion (and an oftentimes very funny read) here:http://www.ca7.uscourts.gov/fdocs/docs.fwx?submit=showbr&shofile=07-1662_018.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
