I would think whomever technically owned the site at the time of fraud would be liable. (AGAIN, not a lawyer here). The question is who actually owns the site, esp if Heidi is still getting disability pay.

Say I was your friend, and you wanted to open a corporation, but you wanted to hide ownership from your lyin cheatin spouse (ermh, this IS hypothetical, I'm sure your DH is a saint), you might come up to me and say, "Hey, I'll give you 20% of the profit for doing nothing but being the figurehead on my company. The other 80% can be put in this bank account in the Caymans to this name right here. (Putting name on slip of paper and handing me the account number.) As long as the corporation or business pays its taxes and I get paid, there really isn't a lot that will come to the attention of the IRS ( I know that there are specific reporting rules depending on what type of business you are, but I don't know what the requirements are so I might be oversimplifying it and not being a criminal mastermind I'm sure there are other steps needing to be taken to wash the money).

Here is the sticky wicket though...all of a sudden my corporation sold something that created a lawsuit, and the company is being sued. You're not even an employee...I own the company...guess who the courts are going after? There I am holding the bag.

Eventually I might be able to convince someone at my expense to track the money and it ends up going to you, but possibly not. Dummy corporations are set up all the time with a fall person already at the helm.

This is why I keep wondering, and would need a lawyers confirmation, who actually would end up being liable if she had it all set up in her son's name.

I may still do it, after a snack and a nap
I hope you are rested because I wanted to read the WW (war of words) smackdown. But do you know who wrote that at KK. I had two guesses a pam or a jenn but just curious if they are still around.

Well, now that I'm banned, I requested a refund twice through the tech support link and both were closed with no response, so I hit the BBB and Attorney general.


Consumer Alerts, Information & Complaints - California Dept. of Justice - Office of the Attorney General is the complaint site for the AG ffice for whoever elae wants a refund.

I sent it to The Truth too.

You're thinking about it all wrong. You're assuming people are suing kimkins, they're not. The suit is against Heidi and all of her known aliases and "partners". It doesn't matter if someone else currently owns the company, the suit is against the person[s] who were involved in creating the fraud.

Any investigations by legal entities will also go after the same.

We are and were not ever among the dumb and stupid few or many who cut their calories below 1000 or even 500.
The original Kimkins Boot Camp WAS 500 calories a day.

No one has checked in saying that they are doing a certain site on the list today. I have gotten some removed because ppl have been looking but I am not sure where everyone is, but here is the link to the list of sites. You can see what you can find.

I fight for what is right, I am here to make sure others are not hurt by that woman. Therefore I'm prepared for and even welcome my karma. As in my world caring more about others provides me with peace. Ya dig?

I am mean to Heidi, I am mean to Tippy, and I am puzzled by fawn as I believe (I'm entitled) it's Heidi. They are KNOWINGLY hurting people. And I am KNOWINGLY exposing them for doing so. I would hope with all of my heart that if I began to hurt people or put them in jeopardy someone would expose me. It won't happen though because I do not live my life to hurt people, it is to help people. Sorry for your opinion of this site but you must also understand that of COURSE we are gonna like Ducky he/she's on our side. That's what this is, kind of us against them (kimmer, tippy etal.)

Were we being as mean as you say I would suggest that Heidi drink draino, and charge her for the info. THEN AND ONLY THEN would I be as bad as Heidi.

You are angry that this side of the fight is all ganging up on Kimmer, that's kind of a duh. There are sites that are impartial, however this isn't it. This is the site that wants the truth, and posts the truth, and sometimes the truth just hurts doesn't it.

That about sums up my feelings.
Awesome post Missi! I feel the same exact way. I couldn't live with myself if I just quietly walked away and didn't try, in some small way, to see that justice is done. I was the kind of kid that always ended up getting my eye blackened for running in on a school yard fight, trying to save the little guy for the bully. Kimmer is the bully here and I'm going to try and "save" as many people as I can.

My sister said to me the other day that she thinks that EVERYONE who had a photo taken, either for before's or after's should be compensated in some way and I totally agree. If those images had been purchased from a reputable advertising agency for use in promoting the site, she would have had to pay for them. So, why shouldn't these folks be paid, also?

My ex employer (3 years ago) just payed me and hundreds of others, overtime wages from a class action suit that I didn't even know about until the end...it was pretty much settled by the time I was informed.

Ran across another picture that Kimmer SHOULD have used as an after. I bet she's regretting the Lady in Red.

This exact thought has haunted me even when I was in KK and didnt know of this fraud. There are several gals who suddenly quit posting. One in my memory (and anyone with a KK account can go in to read her posts) is a gal on the Egg White Challenge that I followed. She was our cheerleader, lost a huge amount of weight and I really fed off her wonderful enthusiam. Right before she disappeared ( ie left ) , she posted that her husband was starting to get worried about how thin she was. Beth I think her name was. She suddenly quit posting Feb 8th. and some of us worried about what happened to this gal. Some of us would check her profile to see if she was still logging on. Just now I checked and it says she logged on in Sept but still no posts since Feb? The point I have is, if anyone (and Im not saying this gal did) died or got seriously sick due to this diet...how would a Dr./ family put 2 and 2 together? How would anyone link a death back to this faulty plan......?
That's why I'm hoping this story hits the big time like Dateline or something so if, God forbid, this has happened to anyone people might be able to put the puzzle pieces together. I just pray this hasn't been the case for anyone.

Kimmer is like some weight loss/success story pimp!
I posted that and wonder if there was something beyond my limited tech knowledge that might be done about it.

Also, someone please "save" it because of the claims that she makes. I wish that I had saved some of my PM's and posts with her before I was banned. I guess better late than never, but before she covers too much "evidence", I just thought it would be something good to save.

The link is here: Kimkins

I'm getting screen shots now... as have others. I guess when Heidi scrubbed the website clean, she overlooked the Newsletter archives.
Ya', she did. I've saved some pages as htm files.

If I had seen a doctor sooner I could have stopped this disease at diverticulos which is much easier to manage. I am not staying stop Kimkins if you can mange to stay regular. I just dont want anyone else to go through hospitalization and 4 days(minimum) of recovery."
I am here to tell you this is a VERY serious concern! VERY SERIOUS.

Ten years ago my mother developed an abcessed diverticula, which burst and she became very septic within a matter of 2 days. She was in the ICU for several weeks, and ended up having to have a TEMPORARY COLOSTOMY. She had never known she even had diverticulosis (the pouching of the large intestine without infection) before it developed into diverticulitis (infection of the pouches). She almost didn't make it. She finally did recover and a year and a half later had the colostomy reversed. She was lucky this didn't kill her.

I don't know... realizing that seems like more of an invasion of privacy for the people in the before shots.
My heart goes out to EVERYONE Heidi Diaz/Kimmer has EXPLOITED FOR HER OWN SELFISH GAIN.
