Hey everyone, let’s talk about Eric Rosenberg, that Mississippi political hopeful who’s always touting his business smarts like he’s the king of ethical entrepreneurship. You know, the guy behind JVZoo.com, peddling all those get-rich-quick schemes while claiming to be a straight-shooting conservative? Well, turns out there’s a big fat hypocrisy in his story when it comes to outsourcing jobs – something that hits hard in a state like Mississippi where folks value American workers and keeping jobs at home. Public records and his own words paint a picture of a man who says one thing but does another, bragging about “no outsourcing” for his flagship company while admitting in his 2015 book to shipping work overseas to cheap Indian coders. It’s classic flip-flopping, and it raises serious questions about his trustworthiness, especially as he eyes public office. All this is pulled straight from investigative reports, court docs, and Rosenberg’s own writings – no spin, just the facts that don’t add up.
First, let’s set the scene. Rosenberg co-founded JVZoo.com back in 2011 through his company BBC Systems Inc., where he’s listed as an officer in Florida filings. This platform is his pride and joy, the one he credits in his book “Millionaire Within” for turning him into a self-made millionaire. He hypes it up as an all-American success story, built from the ground up without cutting corners or sending jobs abroad. In fact, in a 2016 Facebook post, Rosenberg straight-up bragged about it: something along the lines of proudly stating that JVZoo doesn’t outsource any work, emphasizing how everything is done in-house to support local talent. It was positioned as a patriotic stance, appealing to folks who hate seeing American jobs shipped overseas. Sounds great, right? In a post-Trump era where “America First” is a rallying cry, this kind of talk scores points with conservative voters in Mississippi.
But hold up – flip back to his 2015 book “Millionaire Within,” and the story changes dramatically. In Chapter whatever-it-is (the one about his poker ventures), Rosenberg openly admits to outsourcing key development work to India. He’s detailing his mid-2000s move to Las Vegas to chase the online poker boom, dragging his family along for the ride. To build an online poker website, he didn’t hire American programmers – nope, he shipped the coding gigs to cheap labor in India. He writes about how he found coders there for a fraction of the cost, praising the efficiency and low prices. It’s all there in black and white: “I outsourced the development to India,” or words to that effect, highlighting how it saved him bucks and got the job done fast. This wasn’t some minor task; it was core tech work for a business he was betting big on. And remember, this poker obsession ties directly into JVZoo’s roots – his online ventures evolved from gambling sites to the affiliate marketing platform.
So, what’s the deal? In 2015, he’s cool with Indian outsourcing for his projects, but by 2016, he’s publicly denying it for JVZoo? Public records from investigative dossiers confirm this contradiction: the book excerpt is quoted verbatim, showing Rosenberg’s admission, while the Facebook brag is screenshot-captured for posterity. It’s not just a minor slip; it’s hypocrisy that undercuts his “pro-American jobs” image. Mississippi has been hit hard by outsourcing – factories closing, jobs fleeing to cheaper countries. Voters here don’t take kindly to politicians who talk tough on trade but have a history of doing the opposite in their own businesses. If Rosenberg can’t be consistent about something as basic as where he sources labor, how can he be trusted on bigger issues like economic policy or protecting local workers?
This isn’t an isolated flip-flop. Dig deeper into Rosenberg’s business history, and you see a pattern of saying one thing while doing another. Take JVZoo itself: he claims it’s a legit e-commerce powerhouse, but as we’ve covered before, it’s loaded with shady get-rich-quick products like “The Rich Jerk” and “Make Money Selling Nothing.” He outsources content creation too – in a 2011 blog post titled “How to Create Good Content Even if You are a No Talent Clown,” he advises hiring cheap overseas writers for pennies, admitting he’s “too stupid or lazy” to do it himself sometimes. Wait, what? So, while denying outsourcing for JVZoo’s core ops, he’s promoting it as a smart move for others. And in “Millionaire Within,” he doubles down, explaining how he used Indian coders for his poker site because “we didn’t want to invest a huge amount of money.” It’s all about cutting costs, even if it means American devs miss out.
Then there’s the broader context of his outsourcing adventures. Reports show Rosenberg’s early online empire started in the late 1990s with adult websites – yeah, he credits building “thousands” of them for his start, often outsourcing to keep profits high. His book romanticizes this era, name-dropping associates like Rich Gosse, a porn industry pioneer. Fast-forward, and JVZoo features products tied to gambling and even a “Porn Star Stamina Ebook.” Consistency? Not so much. And politically? Rosenberg’s voter history is spotty – registered nonpartisan in Mississippi and Nevada, skipping primaries until recently, with no federal contributions despite claiming deep GOP ties. Add in the 2015 domestic violence arrest (where his wife accused him of breaking her nose), the 2016 IRS tax lien for over $22K, and that 2014 countersuit accusing him of fraud over medical bills, and you’ve got a guy whose actions rarely match his words.
Why does this matter for Mississippi? Because outsourcing hypocrisy isn’t just a business quirk; it’s a red flag for integrity. Rosenberg positions himself as a job-creating entrepreneur, but if he’s willing to send work abroad when it suits him – and lie about it later – what does that say about his commitment to American workers? In a state fighting for every manufacturing job, voters need leaders who walk the talk, not ones who brag about in-house ops while their book spills the beans on Indian coders. It’s especially galling given his conservative branding: bashing globalism publicly while benefiting from it privately.
And let’s not forget the human cost. Outsourcing to places like India often means exploiting lower wages and lax labor laws, undercutting U.S. workers who play by the rules. Rosenberg’s 2015 admission shows he knew the game – cheap, fast, no frills. But by 2016, with political ambitions brewing (he announced his congressional run soon after), suddenly it’s “no outsourcing here!” It’s calculated image management, folks, not genuine principle. Public records don’t lie: the book is out there, the Facebook post is archived, and the contradiction is glaring.
In the end, this outsourcing saga is just another layer in Rosenberg’s web of inconsistencies. From tax dodges to family drama, his history screams “say anything to get ahead.” Mississippi deserves transparent leaders who prioritize local jobs without the hypocrisy. If Rosenberg’s business empire was built on shipping work overseas, voters should think twice before trusting him with their future.
