Financial data disclosed in federal court by NITV Federal Services, LLC, which markets the scientifically baseless Computer Voice Stress Analyzer (CVSA) to law enforcement agencies, reflect flat revenue and a multi-year sales slump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The financial data was divulged in NITV<\/em> v. Dektor<\/em><\/a> (Case No. 9:18-cv-80994 in the Southern District of Florida) to support a claimed loss of more than $2 million in revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Financial figures for the privately held NITV, which was founded by pseudoscientist Charles W. Humble to market his CVSA device and operator training, is not generally publicly available. A declaration<\/a> prepared on behalf of NITV by certified public accountant Kevin R. Foyteck includes (at Appendix B) quantitative historical data on NITV’s revenue and customer base. Using Foyteck’s data, AntiPolygraph.org has prepared charts of NITV’s revenue and sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The data show that between 2015 and 2018, NITV’s revenue remained flat at an average of U.S. $1,710,251 per annum:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The data also show that NITV has had difficulty finding new customers, with the number of new customers per year steadily declining since 2011. It would appear that the market for bogus voice-based lie detectors is approaching its saturation point:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As previously reported<\/a> on AntiPolygraph.org, the court awarded NITV a total of $849,347.92 in damages in its suit against Dektor, an amount that it appears, based on a recent court filing<\/a>, NITV has thus far been unable to collect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this time, Dektor’s website (www.dektorpse.com) is offline, and Dektor and its sole proprietor, Arthur Herring III, remain under a permanent injunction<\/a> essentially enjoining them from communicating any information critical of NITV, its CVSA product, or its founder, Charles Humble, to anyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is worth noting that in 2009, a federal jury awarded competitor Elwood Gary Baker $575,000<\/a> in a defamation lawsuit against NITV. To our knowledge, Baker never succeeded in collecting this amount.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
