One of his latest sales pitches:
"Business consultants and financial planners often get asked this question more than any other, "How can I REALLY make it in today's competitive business climate?"
"Well, statistically, the odds are stacked against you. Take any group of 100 people, and by age 65 only ONE of that group will retire wealthy, and only FOUR of that same group will be able to meet their daily needs without some help from the government or someone else. Not very encouraging is it? Particularly if you are already in your forties, or older.
"Many such professionals counsel people to focus on personal AND financial independence - both are imperative.
"A neighbor of Pat, one of my associates, is a senior executive of a large multi-national firm. He gets a big salary and expense account, has a nice house, great car and terrific family. Only problem is, he's never around to enjoy it. He leaves at 6:00 am every morning for his daily commute, and he rarely is home before 9:00 or 10:00 in the evening. He always brings work home with him, and most of the time he looks like he's ready to blow a gasket. Yet because of his salary, car, house, etc., he looks like he's one of the guys who have "made it." Well, he hasn't, at least, not in my book.
"Contrast that to Pat’s lifestyle: Financially, they're probably pretty even, maybe a slight edge to Pat (Mike let some of his "not so hot" investments slip at a Christmas party last year.) Pat drives a new luxury SUV, their houses are comparable, and Pat has a great family. Here's the difference. Pat works for no one. He spends about 15 - 20 hours a week to feed his lifestyle, and they are the hours that he chooses. His home office is his only base of operations, so he never commutes. Pat cross-country skis 5 days a week in the winter, and he plays golf 4 days a week in the summer. He takes his wife and grandkids to the beach, hockey games, and a variety of other activities that we love whenever he wants. Pat attends all their school functions and has tons of time for just his wife and family.
"Here's the key. I can teach ANYONE to get the same results. But most people are so "boxed in" to the vision that the only way to be a success is to be like Pat’s neighbor, that they just simply aren't OPEN to a more effective way to freedom. Let me suggest this to you. If you are truly open to learning about an activity that can get you this kind of lifestyle, regardless of your background, past history, education or work experience, then we need to talk. And you can do this without pushing overpriced products on people, without beating up your friends and family, and you definitely won't have to do any selling.

Pretty shameless, maybe not as serious as the "squaliform" types that the Judge covers, but insidious because "Dr." Pickering has the appearances of a well-meaning person.
I did report him. Maybe down the road he will start getting that sinking feeling as an investigation heats up. Legal defense can be quite expensive.
