The water is captured from a source near Chernobyl and he boasts of miraculous cures and financial gains if you buy a vial of this H2O. Seems this might be a testable claim.

And his con game and abuse of our weakest and most gullible is all ignored.

Nice world we are building eh?

It seems we collectively think that freedom of speech should allow freedom to steal.

Remember James Randi's takedown of this arsehole.
The fact that Popoff still rakes in money tells you everything you need to know about the devoutly religious, they deserve every shafting they get. It's also a pretty good indicator that attempting to regulate what the wilfully ignorant can and can not believe is an utterly futile proposition.

I think if you are unfortunate enough to be the victim of fraud, to the point of losing a significant amount, then telling the victim, ---  you deserve the shafting you got, --- is like telling your neighbors that even if they call the authorities after a theft, that nothing will be done to look into a theft. he suffered.
 
I hope your neighbors do not tell you what you would tell them my friend. That would make them poor neighbors and citizens.
