Power Balance, the company that a llegedly stretched the truth about the ability of its 'performanceenhancing' rubber bracelets, is reportedly on the verge of shutting down after shelling out $57 million to settle a lawsuit.
The California company counts some of the nation's top athletes among its converts.
The likes of New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, Los Angeles Lakers stars Kobe Bryant and Lamar Odom and NBA legend Shaquille O'Neal have been spotted wearing the silicone bands on their wrists.
All these scams are ridiculous. They prey upon people wanting to believe that they can feel (and or) perform better instantly from some bs magic bracelet. cPrime is the worst. After they perform a manipulated "Franz Mesmer" type test on you and trick you into thinking you actually had some sort of result, they instantly want to sign you up to sell these yourself (for them) Scam complete. Lie, motivate then go make me some money.
There's a sucker born every minute. Lot's of people waiting in line to take advantage of them too.

I have a similar band to this called a Mojo by Futuretech.
Unless you have actually tried them them you would not understand if they work or not. Save your negative critisism towards people that have bought them and try and offer something constructive!
IF the company selling these is claiming things that are untrue then they should be brought to justice. People have a free choice in buying these after seeing the demonstrations at shows up and down the country like I did. If it helps some people in any way albeit phscologically then so be it. People belive in GOD dont they and thats not proved!!
57 an hour to hunt Osama
Family members of the Special Air Service have spoken of their distress over the poor pay of New Zealand's most elite soldiers.
They have broken a code of silence to question whether the country is taking for granted the small group of men who are sent to some of the world's most dangerous countries.
SAS troopers have spent the past few years searching Afghanistan's mountainous border with Pakistan for signs of al Qaeda and its leader Osama bin Laden.
Yet most earn only $40,000 to $50,000$20,000 less than special tactics troops at home. Based on the army's contract with a soldier to be on duty 24 hours a day, seven days a week, their base rate could be as low as $4.57 an hour.
If the soldiers went to work privately as many are they could earn $1500 a day in Afghanistan or Iraq.
Defence headquarters has confirmed to the Herald on Sunday that the SAS met new defence force chief Major General Jerry Mateparae this month. A spokeswoman said the SAS troopers were told they would not receive a pay rise this year but neither would other Defence Force staff.
A family member, who had discussed the issue with other families, said: "They are proud of what they do, and they are proud of the Army. They enjoy going to work every day and they love their jobs.
"But it's not about them it's about the families. It's about the families feeling the boys are underpaid and undervalued.
"We're proud of what these boys do. They are the best and it feels like a slap in the face they are not remunerated. They do such a good job and they are being ripped off."
It is rare for anyone associated with the secretive force of elite soldiers to come forward. Government policy is to keep a code of silence over the activities of the soldiers.
Were it not for a slip by the United States, the public would never have known the SAS was awarded a Presidential Unit Citation from President George W. Bush for service in Afghanistan between October 2001 and March 2002.
The family member said there were tense and difficult times for those left at home when the soldiers were posted abroad.
"We don't know what they do and they don't tell us but we worry. We know they are going away and there is a high likelihood it is somewhere dangerous. We worry about them all the time."
In speaking with the Herald on Sunday, the family member would comment only about families' feelings on the pay issue and refused to discuss any other matter. The issue had been recently discussed among the soldiers' families, and had caused questions to be asked of the soldiers' devotion to duty.
