Company admits their 'healing bracelets' are a scam

A company has admited (presumably under legal duress) that their popular sports bracelets are essentially a scam. Is the world slowly coming to its senses? Probably not but this is a glimmer of hope.

You think they would come up with a new scam if for no other reason than to stop boring them selves.

I always wonder are these people (those who sell them) genuinely deluded, like do they truly believe in the product themselves or are they aware that they're swindling people? What do people think? I don't know which one would be worse....
