Oregon DoJ v. Annau -- SuperGlobe System fraud
[NOTE: It's amazing that these frauds manage to survive and sucker
in as many rubes as they do but then if you question people about
even the simplest of science you'll find that most are grossly
ignorant of how things work -- and why things don't work. Add a
dose of gullibility and we find that these scams become financially
worthwhile even when the criminals are indicted and forces to
pay fines. Imagine the shere stupidity of people who believe such
claptrap, then add the fact that these people vote -- frightening,
to say the least.
Also, this is a court document and as such has been entered into
the public domain thanks to the fact that it is evidence used against
the company by the Department of Justice. Any claim that it is some
how copyrighted would be de-facto false.]

TradeNet International Announces Release of the SuperGlobe System(TM)
PR Newswire
DUNEDIN, Fla., July 18
Thirteen months ago a Dunedin, Florida, marketing company
revolutionized the way America washes its clothes. With the
TradeNet introduction of the "Laundry Solution, "
customers throughout the United States learned how to wash
without detergents.
The Laundry Solution Globe was a liquid-filled sphere that
was put into an automatic washer, replacing detergent as a
participant in the laundry process. Although many were
skeptical, tens of thousands of satisfied customers now say,
"It works! "
And independent laboratory tests at Hilltop Laboratory (an
international testing facility) confirmed that the TradeNet
Laundry Solution worked as well as standard laundry detergent
... but no detergent in the wash process meant no detergent
expelled into the environment!
Customers throughout the United States reported that the Laundry
Solution gave them results as good as they had experienced with
detergent. And that is what the research of Hilltop showed: the
Laundry Solution compared favorably with leading detergents, but
did not introduce detergent into the waste water.
That's why the environmentally conscious customers of TradeNet
believed the product to be a solution for more than their laundry
needs, participating in preserving the quality of our water and
our planet.
Customer satisfaction with this new laundry technology has been
overwhelming. TradeNet has received fewer than 1% return on
products sold, and that includes returns for any reason,
including manufacturing defects, breakage in shipping, customer
dissatisfaction, etc.
Even with such success, the owners of TradeNet believed that the
technology and performance of the Globe could be improved. In
particular, they were looking for scientific corroboration of
how the technology worked. While there were many theories
attempting to explain the functionality of the Laundry Solution,
there was no peer reviewed documentation explaining why the
product worked.
This lack of data on new products and technologies is not rare.
For instance, for decades we have known that aspirin is an
excellent analgesic ... but not until 1997 was a reliable
scientific explanation provided of precisely how aspirin works!
TradeNet president, Bill Cooper, says, "Our customers were
happy; and we were, too. But we weren't satisfied. Our motives
were partly altruistic, and partly practical. We knew that once
we understood the process by which the technology works, we would
be able to support it with ancillary products and perhaps even
improve on it."
That quest for a scientific explanation of the cleaning phenomenon
led Cooper and his associates to the American Technologies Group
(ATG), where research had been underway for several years on the
benefits of "Ie(TM) Crystal Technology. " The resulting
collaboration of TradeNet and ATG created the "SuperGlobeTM
" and the "Booster, " comprising the SuperGlobe(TM)
System, which are reported to perform even better than the
original Globe and have been proven by testing to work as well
as leading brand name detergents. The tests followed the rigorous
protocol of the American Society for Testing of Materials (ASTM).
Dr. Erwin Annau, TradeNet Treasurer, said, "Product
refinement and development are the cornerstones of the TradeNet
philosophy. Because we are a company committed to the ecological
future of Planet Earth, we can never sit back, satisfied with
our sales, and suppose that our job is done. We are constantly
involved in product development, not only because it's the smart
thing to do for the environment, but because it's the smart thing
to do for the business, too. "
The association of TradeNet with Ie Crystal Technology has resulted
in the development of a number of Ie-charged products, including
not only the SuperGlobe and the Booster, but also a laundry
conditioner and other cleaning products soon to be released.
"While the original Globe did an excellent job for the
general laundry, " Annau says, "it was never advertised
as a spot remover or a bleach. The development of these new Ie
products allows TradeNet customers to enjoy all the benefits of
a superior wash, while at the same time fulfilling their
commitment to products that are friendly to the environment. "
TradeNet began marketing the new and improved SuperGlobe System
in June 1997.
Sales have been brisk, in part fueled by the company's generous
"trade-out policy. " TradeNet president Bill Cooper
explains, "We're encouraging our distributors to trade out
their inventory of the original Laundry Solution for the new
and improved SuperGlobe and SuperGlobe System. This is the product
of our future. We're so committed to this science and the benefits
it provides for Planet Earth, that we're even accepting competitors'
products for our trade out in an effort to get serious-minded
professionals to experience the many benefits of TradeNet's
application of the Ie Technology. "
