What worries me the most is that the site will NOT be shut down. I was checking out the FTC site looking at some of the old cases. That super scam artist Kevin Tradeau--you know the infomercial guy with all the Natural Weight Loss Cures garbage--he's been on their radar since the late 90's and they still can't stop him. He still has books for sale through amazon.

Unfortunately there are too many people out there who the diet industry can prey upon. They are so desperate they will do anything to get the weight off. Look how blind those remaining at the KK site are even in the light of all this evidence.

There wouldn't be any need of sites like KK if there wasn't a demand. I wish there was a way to find out if new people are still joining.

Amidst all this jubilation over Heidi's command performance in court, I need to ask - has anybody checked to make sure that she herself is still in the area? Any driveby sightings to report? Because there's no WAY she's going to give anything back w/o a fight. And the easiest way to fight is to disappear WITH the funds that she could grab. I doubt if she has a million $ left, but even 1/2 mil could set her up for life in another country. There's also no way Tippy was allowed to get her hands on more than a token amount to run Kimkins on a day to day basis, if that.

please don't feel bad.


I think its because people don't realize that after they reply, it takes you to the "last page". Even though you may have been reading the 3rd page prior.

Sometimes it's easy to miss posts. We aren't ignoring anyone (besides Cheryl because she cleans too much )

It's there. Click on the word "Kimkins" in the sentence below the pie chart cartoon.

Now, that I have your attention with the house, I'll ask a question I asked before. Has anyone sent this to Nancy Grace? She's like a bulldog. She would be all over this story.

I don't know how to send all the links, etc. or I would do it myself.

I LUV Court TV. And Nancy would be perfect for this story. Can't you just visualize her interviewing Kimmer? She'd rip her to shreads.

Hi..coming out of lurkdom (since July!)..having read almost this whole saga and am flabbergasted at the whole mess..even taken a bit of time to help search for Russian brides! One quick question?? Was she actually physically served papers? (cause then someone else would have seen her?) And if so, why would she even have answered her door??

I did read where the court reporter can video tape the deposition in some cases. Given Heidi's calm, cool, demeanor when Chip was in her grill, I am under the impression that she may do very well during the deposition. She takes Lying to an art form and would wouldn't even break a sweat. Her problems may be:
1) Keeping the lies straight because it will be available for review...much like her old posts.
and the real big issue
2)Captain Morgan...if she gets a visit from the captain then she may pull another wonder woman. Now that would make some good Law and Order viewing!
I thought I would post this information from the Riverside court house "self-help" links. Basic definitions and information:California Courts: Self-Help Center: Glossary
deposition: Written or oral testimony given under oath in front of an authorized third person like a court reporter. Depositions take place outside of court. They allow the parties to get a record of a person’s testimony, or to get testimony from a witness that lives far away. They can help the lawyers prepare their court papers called "pleadings." (See also discovery.)


discovery:
The gathering of information (facts, documents, or testimony) before a case goes to trial. Discovery is done in many ways, such as through depositions, interrogatories, or requests for admissions. It can also be done through independent investigation or by talking with the other side’s lawyer.

interrogatories: Written questions sent by 1 side in a lawsuit to an opposing side as part of pretrial discovery in civil cases. The side that receives the interrogatories must answer them in writing under oath. (See also discovery)

Wouldn't it be great to be a fly on hte wall when the Kimmer has to answer all those questions in court.
She may be a polished liar, but I bet those lawyers will be able to trip her up when she is confronted face to face.

I SOOO wish I could see it all in person.

First of all

Why would she answer the door???
Maybe she was expecting a package or delivery ???
(just thankful I DON'T understand her thinking)

They'll ask her all kinds of questions, show her all kinds of documents (I bet a lot of Russian bride pictures ) and they'll transcribe everything she says. My deposition was something like 4 hours long. They really grill you and try to trip you up. They twist your words around and try to get you to say things you don't mean. It's pretty awful. Kimmer will have to be there, but Jenessa and the other plaintiffs won't have to be unless they want to be. Nobody else will be there because it's not open to the public. If the case goes to trial, they'll have that transcript there to compare to what she says in court. Kimmer better get her stories straight.

Lou

On the Russian Bride Before/After picture scam, I am sure she will use her old tried and true "people sent me their stories and I just posted them. I don't have time to check into all of them."
She has been using that story all along when ANYONE questioned her about them.

Kimmer sucks.

I noticed you!

My husband said the reason the deposition was escalated was because of the "health hazard" and the judge wanted to move quickly.

Remember when TT was involved in finding pictures - doctoring them up (progress pics before/after)? She could also be hauled in.....

What about "Dr." Mark falsifying his title?

It's a little more complicated for these people than we even realize. A whole can of worms have been opened up!

Also what about the foster children's money? What about the government subsidies she has been receiving?

All spells trouble IMHO!

Is TT even posting on the KK site lately? If I were here I'd be in my car traveling to Tennessee. She can't say we didn't warn her as well as "Dr." Mark!

Kimmer sucks.
So someone sent KK a picture of the red dress and Heidi decided that she'd use that pic to represent herself?

I have asked and wondered that as well.
According to the court documents,the form called a "Proof Of Summons Served", was not there or I couldn't find it. She may have been served and the paperwork has not been done and scanned in yet or she may not have been served yet.
