It would be nice if he would allow a credible person to test his memory in person (like at a memory championship) and see what he can really accomplish.
Memorizing 52 cards in under five minutes or under one minute isn't the name of the game.
The interesting thing is whether his claim of teaching people effective memorization is true. I also think that blindly trusting testimonials shouldn't lead you to making decisions.

Having a bunch students that complete a medical degree in a halve the time it normally takes after getting through would be a sign of credibility (and please in a way that allows verification of the claims, testimonials don't count).

I would really like that some memory trainer comes up with a system that gives his students the ability to complete a medical degree in halve the time and afterwards provide evidence of that success.

That's what it's about. It's not about the trainer getting a world record in memorizing 52 cards in the shortest amount of time.

I am fine with plainly calling that dishonesty. If that's a selling point, then I don't really want to be involved.
While I probably wouldn't do such a thing myself I don't think it's a big deal, it's just not the major point of what the product is about.
Lying about your refund policy however is.
During a time where he gave a blogger a refund he wrote in this forum that he didn't gave anyone a refund (The internet is a small place...).

Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”
