United States Attorney Karen P. Hewitt announced that James Folsom was sentenced today in federal

felony counts relating to the sale of unapproved medical devices and the commission of offenses while on
pretrial release. The Honorable John A. Houston, United States District Judge, also ordered the destruction
of over 450 devices that had been seized by the government during the execution of a search warrant at a selfstorage unit used by the defendant. A federal jury found Folsom guilty of conspiring to ship adulterated and misbranded Rife-type biofrequency devices in interstate commerce, following a two-week trial in 2009.
