  • In 2009, a federal judge ordered Trudeau to repay consumers millions of dollars for violating the 2004 order.
  • Trudeau continued to spend lavishly on living-the-high-life luxuries, and yet claimed to be too broke to pay the required refunds.
  • The FTC wasnt buying it and went back to court to untangle the web Trudeau had created to hide his assets.
