In 2003 Sylver was tried on nine felony charges of fraud related to his Millionaire Mentorship Program. Prosecutors accused Sylver of swindling consumers that were promised double the cost of the program (which was between $4,500 and $6,500) if they did not double their investment; no consumers received such a refund.
