[QUOTE="ddddd, post: 7576649, member: 22377"]Found this: Mary Ellen Withrow, a former U.S. treasurer under President Bill Clinton who lives in a retirement community in Marion, Ohio, says she is paid by the company to endorse the silver promotion. The ads describe Withrow as “the emeritus 40th Treasurer of the United States of America” and “executive advisor to the Lincoln Treasury.” She is quoted as urging buyers to snap up “as many (silver bars) as they can before they're all gone.” Reached by phone, Withrow confirmed that she approved the quotes and the use of her name in the ads but declined to say how much she is paid. Otherwise, she said she has no duties at the company. Does she believe the products are worth what the company is charging? “I think you'll have to ask the company,” she said.
