On September 17, the FTC announced that the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida approved the Commission’s order, effectively shutting down several companies (here, here and here) named in the FTC’s June complaint and required them to surrender over $40 million in assets. The FTC filed a complaint against the companies and individuals, the defendants, for allegedly operating unauthorized billing scams that defrauded consumers of over $200 million. The defendants were accused of employing deceptive practices to market CBD and keto-related products online, enrolling consumers in continuity programs without their consent, and charging them for products they did not order.
