This video is hilarious.
I like how it's narrated by a cartoon character who looks and sounds like a teenager.
But seriously, Jeremy Johnson looks really guilty here. Notice that the video focused on alleged witness tampering by the government, but does not answer to the meat of the charges against iWorks.
Here is a 2012 article about the accusations against Johnson:

Johnson was hastily charged in June with a single count of wire fraud for his operation of I Works, which the government contends sold largely bogus products over the Internet for a minimal fee then charged consumers' credit or debit cards monthly fees without their permission.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) sued Johnson and others in December 2010 for allegedly defrauding consumers.
Filings in the civil lawsuit say consumers who gave credit or debit card numbers for what was supposed to be a minimal handling charge, usually $1.99, also were often charged monthly fees of $59.95 and sometimes a one-time fee of $189.
From 2006 to 2010, Johnson's companies took in more than $350 million from sales and returned about $75 million to customers who complained, keeping more than $275 million, according to allegations in court records. Johnson received more than $48 million in salary and other distributions since 2006, the FTC said.
It's very hard for the government to falsify such charges, because this fraud obviously occurred against millions of people.
If Johnson was really not guilty of bait-and-switch credit card billing tactics, it would have been very easy for his lawyers to disprove.
The video makes no attempt to disprove these claims.
This is actually a very common billing scam -- blatantly overcharge a massive number of customers. refund the money to those that complain, and keep the rest. You will always make out with huge profits, due to customer apathy, confusion, or fear of confrontation. A certain percentage will never complain. You can make even more money by making it somewhat difficult for those complaining to reach your company or get the refunds.
This was definitely a big time scam, and the fact that this video obsesses over stupid witness tampering issues rather than the actual charges against him is pretty much proof of guilt.
