摘要

巴尔的摩商人艾伦·霍夫曼(Allen Hoffman)被指控欺诈消费者，因为他声称自己销售的芦荟对治疗艾滋病“几乎100%有效”。检察官指控霍夫曼对他的产品T-UP做了各种虚假宣传。他还告诉消费者，他有博士学位，芦荟产品是由约翰霍普金斯大学的研究人员开发的，并获得了FDA的批准。马里兰州司法部长称这是他遇到过的最“令人震惊的欺诈”案件。

Buyer beware.

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.
