Notes & sources

  1. Sam Catanese’s DRTV assessment
    Sam R. Catanese’s affidavit was signed and notarized October 30, 2026, and commissioned by AJ Khubani. His assessment concerns distinct direct-response television hit products during 1986–2025 among the companies he monitored, based on his review of monitoring reports and professional experience. The affidavit supplies neither a numerical hit count nor a definition of “hit”; it does not independently audit the separate founder-approved 285-product record or its unit-sales definition. Its separate “Number One Marketer” statement does not specify a ranking measure and is not used here as an unqualified ranking. Read the original and transcription ↗↩
