MegaMemory

MegaMemory is a commercial system sold through infomercials that claimed to boost memory via learning mnemonic techniques, developed by Kevin Trudeau. It was one of a range of products that the Federal Trade Commission prosecuted for fraud. Trudeau claimed that help anyone achieve a photographic memory, even people with learning disabilities or low IQ's. The FTC found that the memory system would not enable users to achieve a photographic memory, and the advertising claims were false. Trudeau, along with other marketers, settled out of court for $1.1 million.
