For those curious, Stowe was later sentenced to 6.5 years in Federal prison and ordered to pay 500k in restitution according to case information on the FBI website.
This is nuts. Both stories are jaw dropping. As someone who went through the beginning stages of the security clearance process, I can attest that I felt like a huge responsibility was being bestowed upon me, and I didn’t even end up finishing the clearance process because I didn’t get the job. I can’t even imagine going through my career with that kind of clearance and ever selling my integrity for any kind of money. It’s unfathomable.
My parents sat me down every Sunday to watch 60 Minutes with them and at that young age was admittedly only passively interested in some stories, but occassionaly enthralled by others. It was a tradition throughout my upbringing and my parents always insisted that 60 Minutes was the gold standard for investigative journalism and ethics, and we all still believe that today. It ultimately had a major influence on my education and career. Thank you for standing up in the service of others.
There is nothing to wrap your head around. The man is, quite simply, a psychopath. He's only slightly more psychopathic than a CEO for a pharmaceutical company. All psychopaths are conscienceless...but not every psychopath is as sadistic as that guy was/is.
Wow. How low does a person have to be to bankrupt a terminal patient and give false hope. This man wasn’t offering genuine hope, he was offering false hope and that’s incredibly sickening.
“I can’t believe people are so evil”. I find myself saying this more and more, isn’t it unbelievable, unfathomable, how some, how so MANY, humans can treat other human beings? Or comply or support it? I wish people who feel what you feel, and the people that don’t, could be easily identified. I don’t want to know people anymore who are ok with doing things that hurt others. The “faith in humanity” bit is overused, but it is crushing to think sometimes you hate your own kind and think the world would be better off without human beings.
6:25 watching the pain in that man’s eyes when he said he wanted to believe was heart breaking. These frauds should be ashamed of themselves and be left to rot in jail!
As soon as he looks away it hits you like a ton of bricks....damn....after the initial high wears off, providing false hope is the worst thing you can do to a person in misery. That's why I'm a cynic!
Mind you, I am a Christian man...however, people like "Apostle" David Taylor are doing the exact same thing. The only difference is that he hides behind The Cloth, which will eventually have detrimental consequences to the tens of thousands of churches that are truly doing good works in their respective communities.
Unfortunately this is still happening. My sister in law is diagnosed with ALS and she our family was a victim of this con. My sister passed away early this year. The authority need to take actions.
This is old school reporting. It could only be absorbed and processed by people with brains. There's not enough of those type of people to keep the ratings up.
Alex Alway it gets easier once u do it for years on end. I always said to my dad how do u take a vehicle from someone who can't afford it but wanted it with great intentions.
"I wanted to believe" God, that breaks my heart. The only silver lining is that this man is resting now. I hope Stowe pays for the way he took advantage of the terminally ill.
It made me realise what it’s like for my dad with stage five Parkinson’s, he knows what he wants to say, but it’s just an odd noise that comes out, just like this poor man. What a horrible situation.
@@jcspider7259 oh no they need to stay in prison they will just restart up somewhere else under different names may even get reconstructive surgery omg I feel bad for the people who paid them a penny lord I hope the world finds a cure asap!
Evil isn't the word that comes to my mind. People who groom children for sex are evil. This guy literally has no conscience. He's a greed-obsessed psychopath (and I recognize that's redundant to call a psychopath greed-obsessed). He's as conscienceless as a Big Pharma CEO...who doesn't care who he kills, or how much they suffer, just as long as he earns his yearly bonus and golden parachute when he is asked to resign.
I am so sorry this happened to you, the patients with these horrible illnesses. You all are better human beings than these frauds, and you all didn't deserve to get sick. In the end all of the patients will be rewarded, and live like kings while these greedy con artists will have to pay the consequences. Again I'm sorry for what these con men did. You deserve better and you will receive it.
My dear friendwho was dying of cancer went to Mexico and spent a fortune to save his life. I always told him don't do it it's all a scam but when you're dying you'll try anything he told me. I ended up taking care of him in his own home for a year with hospice help before he passed
Kenny Dominic I disagree, Karma will get him in this life or the next, first rule of life is believe in something greater than yourself in order to save yourself
Kenny Dominic trust me it does happen, we are sprinkled on the Earth to see if our spirit shines through, only thing which matters is your spirit, your shell is merely a vehicle, u r given tests throughout your life unknowingly mostly and at the end u will go to God which created man, Enki or Ptah or Satan, same spirit different name, It controls this planet. I went to hell and back to find this out, I nearly died and lost my mind for long periods but I was aware what was happening to me, but now I'm back and will never get tricked again, was fooled big time, U see Satan appears as an angel, I 'm not Religious because God is Religion, GOD stands for Gold Oil and Diamonds, U need to find the spirit outside this planet, I turned to Islam but Allah is Satan and then Christianity I found Jesus, Jesus saved me from the Father Satan, like I say I hate Religion, Peace and find your spiritual path to freedom!!!
A shame there still isn't a cure for Lou Gehrig's. I never met my Grandpa because of it. He died when my father was just 15. I have a few pictures of him as his ALS progressed, he lost so much muscle mass. He was a military man, a pillar of the community and after he served his last military term, he became a railroad conductor and built his own house room-by-room as he could afford it. I wish I could have known him personally. My grandma wanted to take him to places that claimed to be able to help ALS but I think he had already accepted that it just wasn't going to do any good. It saddens me to see the man in this video break down crying when he mentioned that his idea was of hope for the con artist who claimed to be able to reverse it.
For anyone wanting to know... '60 Minutes' conducted the sting in December of 2009' & the episode premiered in April of 2010'. The two ALS sufferers Michael Martin & Steven Watters passed away in April & May 2011' respectively!! Stowe & Morales were both eventually caught & charged. In 2014, They both recieved a 5 year prison sentence and were forced to pay over $479,000 in restitution!!
This breaks my heart. It would take a heartless, evil person to prey upon a terminally ill person like Michael Martin. It just makes me sick. In my opinion, there isn't a punishment great enough for this "con artist" scum bag!
Ikr, stem cells are the way to go. I first heard about them 20 or so years ago, and dissapointed that it isnt being used very much. Yea, maybe if your a millionaire and get the best doctors. Now they can grow body parts. A guy got a synthetic heart that lasted 2 years until he got a donated heart. We can fix almost anything now. 3d printers are also available, but theres no money in making people healthy. I saw a 3d printer at bath and body works, but its only good to make plastic stupid stuff, like toys. Sorry, off topic, no fixes for ADHD😡😡
Damn... I was surprised at the meager 5 year sentence for selling classified Pentagon secrets... blatantly.... intentionally. I thought it would have lead to a much harsher sentence. This really amazed me.
The dude has a Ph.d in chemical engineering, one of the highest paying carreers one can have, is ripping these poor people off. How greedy can one get. How did he get a lisence to practice medicine. Hope he is getting his dose inside a cell with his husband, Bubba.
i’ve lost loved ones to ALS. this infuriated me. and the man crying legitimately made me cried. the world is a scary place, and people who prey on others with the impossible have failed a life’s purpose. people who spend their time on earth conning others are wasting their lives.
Daniel Forsythe sadly, most places you can't. It's illegal to help someone die, even if they are going to die a slow, painful and horrible death by yourself shortly after. So either travel to someplace that can help you (if you can afford it) or have the system strip you off all dignity that the illness hasn't.
As someone living with disability and severe pain, I can tell you that life are precious. Watching my children everyday is priceless. When the day comes, I will go but not one day early. And besides, one of my friends lived 20 years with ALS.
@@goranklaren You have a wonderful, positive attitude. It is important to be there for your kids. I sure hope you get some help for your pain. I have chronic pain, too, but I found something that really helps. I went on a whole foods plant based diet, which is vegan, and it really reduced my pain. If you want to look into it, go to drmcdougall.com. If you think I am crazy like everyone else does, don't bother. But I would not kid you. It really helped me. What have you got to lose?
I couldnt have children but I look at my precious grandpuppies who I had when they were born and I want them to live forever. I have ten other dogs...who I must stay healthy for so I can take care of them...but my grandpuppies just happen to be the cutest and most lovable babies on this planet. They are now both 5 yrs old...same daddy different mommas both spayed..but I swear I can feel my heart slow down when I look at them.
I HOPE SOMEONE AT 60 MINUTES READS THIS. You could have taken a moment to thank those gentlemen ON CAMERA for the help they provided right after you provided an update about their health. Every person needs to feel appreciated and when you're having everything taken from you with chronic illness, appreciation falls precipitously. Think through your actions; walk a mile is the shoes of people you USE to get your stories.
As someone who's living with MS, & fighting it every day, may I say to Mr. Stowe & Dr. Morales, May you go just like Mussolini. Disgraced & heading south. But please. first of all, just go away!
If that happened to me or my family member I would have punched that dude right in the mouth. They should have also sued him, and filed charges to make sure he was arrested.
Yea I had a math teacher who had it. The school didn’t allow her to teach a class after she was diagnosed but she came to school everyday anyway. I would go sit with her every morning with one other student and she would give us math extra help. Then next summer I found out she died. It was sad. I would have to ask her to repeat what she siad sometimes and she wouldn’t be able to point out my mistakes on the paper. She was like 35 -42 years old too
The man's tears moved me to the core. I can relate. I recently lost my dad to cancer. And we got conned too, although of a much lesser amount. It was a God woman in our case. During such circumstance, we desperately cling on to hope. We want to believe in anything...anything but the idea that death is a possibility. We become really vulnerable at such times. May he find joy despite his illness.
Too bad its "inhumane" I think at that point anyone that preys on people with terminal illnesses or is a traitor to ones country should be hung. For the public to see
@@shadowspire Maybe not for the public to see, but a firing squad in the open air, where people can hear the shots. Hm. That's pretty bad, too. Imagine living near the facility where traitors and conmen are shot. Every so often, 9 bullets and one blank are fired. *shivers*
The hands on the back of the head, I believe, is a body language gesture used by people who think they are superior to the ones they are talking too - if so, then it says a lot about this man who is supposed to be portraying himself as a sympathetic person intent on helping those in dire medical circumstances.
+Stable Life Dr Phil has a doctorate. So he has the right to put Dr. in front of his name. Maybe some hillbillies are naive enough to think he is a medical doctor but most people know it is just a non medical moniker.
My sister and I have the same problems in our spines, and we have tried everything but back surgery. She told me that there was a new thing going around called stem cell treatment. She said she went and got one treatment and that she had to pay up front to have it done because her insurance wouldn't pay for it. Later on I asked how it was going and she just looked at me and said " I feel like I've been ripped off" It didn't work. later in that year she had back surgery. She still has problems with her spine and I see her getting worse every time I visit her. Oh and by the way, I wished she had watched this before she gave up all of her 401K retirement plan money that she could have lived the rest of her life on. Now she is broke and she's in pain everyday, stumped over and takes baby steps. She said, it's too hard to sit too hard to walk and finds it barely hard to lay down. I pray for her and I am sad, not only for her but for me too, because I'm right behind her in my wheelchair. So if there is anyone out there that is reading this, all I ask of you is to pray for us both. And if there is someone that comes along and reads this one day, thank you and God Bless you. With love and peace from Phoenix AZ.
When my daughter was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2012 at 5 years old, after 2 brain surgeries having the tumor grow back bigger within 3 weeks both times and high dose radiation didn't work I got a message from this guy in Houston (at this time we were in houston from dallas) at MD Anderson getting chemo and he said he had a CBD oil-like formula that would shrink her tumors that was already growing on her motor nerve. For the 6 treatments he said would cure my daughter it was going to cost me roughly around $80k. Knowing I'm a single mom also taking care of my mom who also has cancer and other illnesses... He saw me as an easy target cause I was desperate to cure my child, being a single mom and doing this alone with no other adult helping me, he knew how vulnerable I was. I'm glad I cut him off immediately and haven't heard from him since.
My mother died of complications due to MS in 1966. She was a decorated combat nurse in WWII, and a chief surgical nurse at Mass. General in Boston. I can't describe how this piece makes me feel. Mom would have seen thru this in a heartbeat.
If someone is constantly crossing their arms and looking around the room while answering your pointed questions... that person is obviously hiding something.
My wife's cousin-in-law just passed away from ALS a little over 4 years from diagnosis. He was bed ridden, unable to move except for shrugging his shoulders, and on a ventilator for 3 of those years. Pure torture as he couldn't even scratch an itch on his nose. Horrible.
a rich man would give his whole fortune for his health, even a meeting like this doesn't even seem right some guy with no leg talking about extraordinary scientific treatment in a non clinical environment
I was scammed by a pastor I couldn’t believe it there’s a lot of homes out there I just didn’t know. I don’t talk about Dr. Phil he is one of the most honest man there are. Thank you
Has anyone done the follow up story on members of Congress and Senate sitting in on committees and then having first hand information on the stock market?

I have ten other dogs...who I must stay healthy for so I can take care of them...but my grandpuppies just happen to be the cutest and most lovable babies on this planet. They are now both 5 yrs old...same daddy different mommas both spayed..but I swear I can feel my heart slow down when I look at them.
Bring back the stocks. I would feel totally fine throwing rotten fruit and vegetables on these guys.
This is a single thing that could save America. Our ancestors had a winner. 2 or 3 days and cured of all evil. Bring back STOCKS
How can you been soo inhumane,these scammers need a life sentence!
their lives are done... he can't thrive...he'll be out but still under his punishment
Actually - they need a death sentence............
As it stands now, when he is released he will be back in business scamming people.
I HOPE SOMEONE AT 60 MINUTES READS THIS. You could have taken a moment to thank those gentlemen ON CAMERA for the help they provided right after you provided an update about their health. Every person needs to feel appreciated and when you're having everything taken from you with chronic illness, appreciation falls precipitously. Think through your actions; walk a mile is the shoes of people you USE to get your stories.
When they zoomed in on his face, his eyes were dark and cold. Evil heartless thing
@Gambino indeed lol
What's the part again?
what a sick guy, taking advantage of that poor People figthing to survive
Your the doctors flight cousin . I hate you
As someone who's living with MS, & fighting it every day, may I say to Mr. Stowe & Dr. Morales, May you go just like Mussolini. Disgraced & heading south. But please. first of all, just go away!
If that happened to me or my family member I would have punched that dude right in the mouth. They should have also sued him, and filed charges to make sure he was arrested.
60-Minutet, I Have Been Watching Your Show For Yrs. Now I know Why??? Your The Best !!! That Video, Said it All. KEEP GOING FORWARD !!!
To Those Who Want The Real?? Keep Watching 60-Minutes.!!!!
"a drowning man will clutch at straw" selling hope
Very sad. ALS is horrible. I knew a man who had it. So sad...
F
Like the creepy videos
Yea I had a math teacher who had it. The school didn’t allow her to teach a class after she was diagnosed but she came to school everyday anyway. I would go sit with her every morning with one other student and she would give us math extra help. Then next summer I found out she died. It was sad. I would have to ask her to repeat what she siad sometimes and she wouldn’t be able to point out my mistakes on the paper. She was like 35 -42 years old too

You can cure it with CRISPR gene editing
Switching languages: Lee knows his audience so that there is NO QUESTION on the homefront.
Arrest and prosecute him... Life in prison... No parole.
And tell the other prisoners what he did.
Death penalty offer to give him the snake oil to bring him back
probably one of the sickest,saddest stories ive heard in ages!!😓
Doctors sell snake oil daily.
The man's tears moved me to the core. I can relate. I recently lost my dad to cancer. And we got conned too, although of a much lesser amount. It was a God woman in our case. During such circumstance, we desperately cling on to hope. We want to believe in anything...anything but the idea that death is a possibility. We become really vulnerable at such times. May he find joy despite his illness.
20 years at hard labor should be the minimum sentence for treason.
Too bad its "inhumane" I think at that point anyone that preys on people with terminal illnesses or is a traitor to ones country should be hung. For the public to see
Actually, I prefer a firing squad, or a bullet to the back of the head, like Russia.
@@shadowspire Maybe not for the public to see, but a firing squad in the open air, where people can hear the shots. Hm. That's pretty bad, too. Imagine living near the facility where traitors and conmen are shot. Every so often, 9 bullets and one blank are fired. *shivers*
so much for the high level "security clearance"....and 5 years what a joke.
The hands on the back of the head, I believe, is a body language gesture used by people who think they are superior to the ones they are talking too - if so, then it says a lot about this man who is supposed to be portraying himself as a sympathetic person intent on helping those in dire medical circumstances.
This Journalist Scott is amazing very brave and smart!! My respect to him!
IF Stone's treatment(s) work, WHY is he on crutches?!
Good job 60 minutes for exposing this horrid evil person.
"A man who calls himself doctor, but isn't qualified to do so".
"Um, you mean Dr Phil"?
+Stable Life
Dr Phil has a doctorate. So he has the right to put Dr. in front of his name. Maybe some hillbillies are naive enough to think he is a medical doctor but most people know it is just a non medical moniker.
This man is missing his soul.
That is a description of what was once referenced as trait of psychopaths. They lack a human soul.
Reilly Moore possibly a alien disguised as a human they all lack human qualities like compassion, empathy etc
So horrible to con someone when they have a death sentence and they’re already suffering....
This is terrible but it is also fantastic journalism right here. This is what we need to see as often as possible for the sake of the public interest.
25:05 The conman: you are not running away from me, are you? 🤦🏿♂️
insurance companies scam people who are ill...please do that story!!!
Yes, I agree
This is why we have the: ELECTRIC CHAIR.
Sami Albeik amen, cutting of their feet and hands would work too.
There’s a special place for this POS trust me.
@@deborahchesser7375 A clam requesting that she be trusted? 60 minutes couldn't cover this con in 60 hours.
No give them ALS.
@@doug2496 Then they can take thier own bogus treatment to boot. Lol
My sister and I have the same problems in our spines, and we have tried everything but back surgery. She told me that there was a new thing going around called stem cell treatment. She said she went and got one treatment and that she had to pay up front to have it done because her insurance wouldn't pay for it. Later on I asked how it was going and she just looked at me and said " I feel like I've been ripped off" It didn't work. later in that year she had back surgery. She still has problems with her spine and I see her getting worse every time I visit her. Oh and by the way, I wished she had watched this before she gave up all of her 401K retirement plan money that she could have lived the rest of her life on. Now she is broke and she's in pain everyday, stumped over and takes baby steps. She said, it's too hard to sit too hard to walk and finds it barely hard to lay down. I pray for her and I am sad, not only for her but for me too, because I'm right behind her in my wheelchair. So if there is anyone out there that is reading this, all I ask of you is to pray for us both. And if there is someone that comes along and reads this one day, thank you and God Bless you. With love and peace from Phoenix AZ.
When my daughter was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2012 at 5 years old, after 2 brain surgeries having the tumor grow back bigger within 3 weeks both times and high dose radiation didn't work I got a message from this guy in Houston (at this time we were in houston from dallas) at MD Anderson getting chemo and he said he had a CBD oil-like formula that would shrink her tumors that was already growing on her motor nerve. For the 6 treatments he said would cure my daughter it was going to cost me roughly around $80k. Knowing I'm a single mom also taking care of my mom who also has cancer and other illnesses... He saw me as an easy target cause I was desperate to cure my child, being a single mom and doing this alone with no other adult helping me, he knew how vulnerable I was. I'm glad I cut him off immediately and haven't heard from him since.
Sincerely sorry for you and your daughter. However you reaction is the correct one.
thanks for the videos
Wait a minute!!!
Larry’s secret sauce can cure Lou Gehrig’s disease but couldn’t stop cancer from taking his own leg?
God is going to paralyze his tongue. His heart has already been paralyzed.
“Make sure the results hold?” He can’t even say it with a straight face lol.
My mother died of complications due to MS in 1966. She was a decorated combat nurse in WWII, and a chief surgical nurse at Mass. General in Boston. I can't describe how this piece makes me feel. Mom would have seen thru this in a heartbeat.
If someone is constantly crossing their arms and looking around the room while answering your pointed questions...
that person is obviously hiding something.
He spelled it out when he said they will get "hope" bc that's what they're buying HOPE That's all!
so, instead of ripping folks off, one by one, the internet makes it easier to con thousands. these folks should hire a hit man
people need to start wearing bodycams when going to the doctor......healthcare has just been a joke in this country!!!
Ummmm...Neither of those men were actual medical doctors.

" Thanks for sharing this with your viewers.
God bless the survivors, in Christ Jesus' name. Amen ! "
My wife's cousin-in-law just passed away from ALS a little over 4 years from diagnosis. He was bed ridden, unable to move except for shrugging his shoulders, and on a ventilator for 3 of those years. Pure torture as he couldn't even scratch an itch on his nose. Horrible.
Both these guys went to prison for 5-6 years in 2014.
a rich man would give his whole fortune for his health, even a meeting like this doesn't even seem right some guy with no leg talking about extraordinary scientific treatment in a non clinical environment
If this man did this to a loved one of mine I’d barge into his office and snap his neck.
He sits there with his arms crossed as he says lie after lie....
That is a self protection gesture .
I was scammed by a pastor I couldn’t believe it there’s a lot of homes out there I just didn’t know. I don’t talk about Dr. Phil he is one of the most honest man there are. Thank you
Has anyone done the follow up story on members of Congress and Senate sitting in on committees and then having first hand information on the stock market?
Congress has specifically exempted themselves from the insider trading laws.
Nancy Pelosi has and she voted against the law to make it illegal for Congress members to act on tips.
I honestly cannot understand how these conmen can live with themselves.
crazy he
They have no conscience.
what i took from this: "60 Minutes" is 40 minutes and 1 second
Difference of 19 minutes and 59 seconds for the payment of the air time .
I can sell you a treatment that will give you that twenty minutes back. The full treatment is $47,000 and is a permanent cure.
Enjoy your reporting, thank you
a con man never comes clean. ive had dealings with 3 con men in my life and none ever admitted wrong doing even though evidence was clear.
formattester6 no they think it’s all okay what they doing
Like trump
When the guy from 60 minutes walks in, that is usually the time to just give up.
for decades ... as soon as you see them coming up the walkway, you're done
