Report: McDonnell Did Not Disclose Rolex Watch From Troubled Donor
The company mentioned is just another in a long line of Woo sellers that use sketchy studies and pseudo science to sell health supplements. In this case they are pimping “anatabine” as capable of helping you quit smoking and they appear to be getting ready to market it as an Alzheimer’s preventative.
Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell (R) received a Rolex watch from a major campaign donor and he did not disclose the gift in his personal filings, the Washington Post reported online Tuesday.
The watch was a gift from Jonnie R. Williams Sr., the CEO of dietary supplement maker Star Scientific whose relationship with McDonnell has been the subject of an ongoing federal investigation.

and then there is this:
In the spring of 2011, Virginia first lady Maureen McDonnell flew to New York and was treated to a high-end shopping spree courtesy of Star Scientific CEO Jonnie Williams Sr.
During the trip, McDonnell spent time at the Manhattan showroom of famed designer Oscar de la Renta, where she tried on a suede jacket that cost at least $10,000. Williams put the garment on his tab.
Williams also bought the first lady two pairs of designer shoes, a Louis Vuitton leather handbag and a designer dress, according to sources familiar with the ongoing investigations into her husband, Gov. Bob McDonnell.
