Popoff is still at it.

We’re just watching a show on one of the cable channels and here comes an ad by the man himself…. Offering to send you a cheesy little plastic container of “Miracle Spring Water”.

Several testimonials from folks all describing how they’d received huge checks in the mail…..

And Popoff himself, looking a bit bloated….. But still in the biz….

Last I saw the guy he was selling those little nitro-pill bottles filled with “a combination of holy oil and his own tears”.

What’s really sad is that there are obviously people falling for this schtick.

Lots of people.

"These days, Popoff’s net worth stands at $10 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth."

Yeah, those ads have been running for ages. Cheap daytime ads but they must be getting decent enough ROI and names to spam with ads.

Once a grifter, always a grifter. Isn't that right, Donny!
