RIDDLE ME THIS: MATTHEW LESKO SIGHTING IN DOWNTOWN BETHESDA (PHOTO)

It's actually one of the more-common celebrity sightings you're likely to have in downtown Bethesda, kind of like Mike Tyson in the 90s:  TV infomercial pioneer Matthew Lesko.  Or, in this case, his Mini Cooper, parked near BlackFinn this past weekend.  The question marks often have him mistaken for The Riddler.

"To the Batcave, Robin!"

I see this guy everywhere! Most of the time I see him hanging out in Starbucks with his question mark suit. Does he still do infomercials?

I think he does, but they don't seem to be on as many channels anymore. They had an article about him a few years back that referred to new infomercials, but I don't recall seeing the actual commercial on TV. Maybe they're on channels I don't watch? Starbucks does seem to be his hangout.

I had wondered if the Internet killed his business, since he sold books of how to get free money from gov't programs.

But, I checked his site out today and see he has embraced the internet and offers a search engine of sorts.

He seems to have been replaced by Kevin Trudeau in the Government Money book category on TV. Mega Memory!
