Well, I don't think Pat was the one who informed the feds. I would have heard about that. As far as VPX being scammers, the store I work for sells a crap load of their stuff. Mainly because the stuff works and people come back or tell their friends. I will say their stuff is overpriced.
I remember the first time I did Paradeca by VPX. I was doing 80 pound DB raises! Never did juice but holy crap I felt strong!
