DISCLOSURE: The PP Blog carries ads from AdChoices that are delivered by Google.
UPDATED 7:22 A.M. EDT OCT. 12 U.S.A. The PP Blog observed yesterday that a new book by Zeek Rewards figure Robert Craddock now is available on Amazon.com after earlier having been listed as “Out of Print” and with “Limited Availability.” The price of the 276-page paperback, as advertised on Amazon.com yesterday and today, is $22.45.
This afternoon the PP Blog observed an ad for the Craddock book at the top of the Drudge Report, one of the most highly trafficked political websites in the world. A symbol in the ad suggested it originated through AdChoices. Ads on the Drudge Report are arranged through Intermarkets Inc.
Marketing copy for the book, which the PP Blog accessed directly through Amazon.com, does not mention that Zeek Rewards was alleged to be a massive international Ponzi- and pyramid scheme that gathered hundreds of millions of dollars and affected hundreds of thousands of people.
The copy argues that the U.S. government should have modeled a “stimulus program” after Zeek, instead of shutting it down.
