Abstract
A Baltimore businessman, Allen Hoffman, has been charged with consumer fraud after claiming that the aloe vera he was selling was "almost 100% effective" in curing AIDS. Prosecutors allege that Hoffman made a variety of false claims about his product, T-UP. He also told consumers he has a Ph.D., that the aloe vera product was developed by Johns Hopkins researchers, and that it has FDA approval. The Maryland Attorney General called this a case of the most "egregious fraud" he had ever encountered.
