Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a semiweekly series where bad businesses go to die. We will discuss any and everything from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and businesses that have a lot to hide.

Joe Rogan was once beloved by all or at least most comic and television host. But, at some point, everything began to change. As his podcast, “The Joe Rogan Experience” was catapulted into popular culture, Joe Rogan started spewing out his opinions and having everyone and I mean everyone on his show. This all would have been fine if his guests didn’t include some of the most controversial people in the United States.

The first Crisis Pregnancy Center was opened in 1967 in response to the ever-growing rise of pro-choice feminism and the future of an abortion-friendly America. As time has gone on, Crisis Pregnancy Centers have become a backbone feature of the pro-life movement. Tricking people into attending by offering “medical advice”, they have become synonymous with spreading misinformation about abortion and working to dismantle it from the inside out.

Welcome to Multi Level Mondays, a weekly series all about multi level marketing, pyramid schemes, and ponzi schemes.

At first, TrimSpa was just your run-of-the-mill diet pill fad. But, when mega star social starlet Anna Nicole Smith decided to join in on their campaigns and lost her own weight, it absolutely exploded. Suddenly TrimSpa was everywhere and they had their celebrity star to thank for it. But, after her death, it all came spiraling down. They lost a massive amount of their customers, found themselves in fights with the FTC and FDA, and had to change the entire makeup of their products. Now, they’re back, charging an exorbitant amount of money for diet pills that likely, don’t work.

Lance Armstrong’s charity, the Livestrong Foundation, has become well-known for funding cancer research.

Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a semiweekly series where bad businesses go to die. We will discuss any and everything from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and businesses that have a lot to hide.

Wells Fargo is one of the most well-known Banks in the United States. But while their names are well-known, their scandals have made them infamous. Their history of blatant racism has been raising eyebrows and ruining lives almost since their inception. But their decade-long scam of opening fake accounts for customers without their permission catapulted them into the limelight in the worst of ways. To this day, the company is still reeling from its decade-long mistake, but it still can’t seem to keep itself out of trouble.

PPP Loan Fraud or Covid Relief fraud has been called the largest fraud in a generation. Billions were set aside during the pandemic to help keep workers employees. However, these fraudsters didn’t just use it for personal gain, but took this money out of the pockets of those who really needed it. Those that took part in this fraud are still being caught and punished now, and business owners are still feeling the effects.

Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a semiweekly series where bad businesses go to die. We will discuss any and everything from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and businesses that have a lot to hide.

Girls Gone Wild is an infamous cultural phenomenon. If you were alive in the 1990s and early 2000s you probably remember waking up to their wild infomercials. But, while they made it seem like all fun and parties on their videos, there was a lot more going on in the background. The founder, Joe Francis seemed to be in the news every other week, and never for anything good. He is the dirt bag of all dirtbags and the inherent creepiness of girls gone wild is just the beginning.

Making Money off Children’s Pain: Family Vloggers | Corporate Casket Sep 08, 2022

Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a semiweekly series where bad businesses go to die. We will discuss any and everything from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and businesses that have a lot to hide.

Family vlogging is so much more than a cute, home video—it’s become extremely profitable and can mean a camera in a child’s face on a daily basis. The ethics of this have been questioned for a while, especially after some massive controversies. Between refusing to adopt due to social media requirements or even rehoming children after a lack of proper research and education, these family vloggers have profited off some pretty gross and disturbing stuff.

Between banned products, concerns surrounding hacking critics, and the shady nature of their sellers, Valentus is an especially controversial MLM. It’s not at all clear if their coffee-dieting products work, and concerns continue to circulate if they do more harm than good.

Chiropractors are considered doctors by some, scammers by others. The actual evidence for their practices just isn’t there, and while Chiropractors may chase after that ‘crack’ or their patient’s wallet, it can cause real harm for patients that are relying on said cracks for pain relief.
