I don't know about the mind uploading... but the fact that device is applying electric shocks to a person's body and physically destroying them is a massive problem. Any respectable mind uploading would leave the original in-tact. A standard autopsy of the person's body would discover the site of electrocution and the damage associated with it, incriminating the "huckster" under at least "gross negligence" (the only crime for which mens rea is not necessary) up to first degree murder.
