Operation Income Illusion cracks down on illusory income claims

There’s a standard movie trope of a group stranded in the desert. Parched and burned, their spirits soar when they see an oasis on the horizon. With their last ounce of energy, they crawl toward the lush palms and beckoning pool. But as they dip their hands in the water, they realize it was just a mirage. For consumers looking to supplement their income and gain financial independence, promoters’ promises may seem like that oasis on the horizon. But in many cases, those money-making promises are an illusion. That’s the theme of Operation Income Illusion – a just-announced crackdown by the FTC and 19 federal, state, and local law enforcement partners.

Dish Network settles telemarketing lawsuit for $210 million

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. - Dish Network agreed to pay the U.S. government and four states, including Illinois, $210 million to settle a 2009 lawsuit alleging it engaged in millions of telemarketing violations. District Judge Sue E. Myerscough of the Central District of Illinois in Springfield entered an order Dec. 4 enforcing the settlement. The parties settled only the monetary relief portion of the case. The injunctive relief Myerscough previously awarded “remains in place and unaffected by this settlement.” Dish Network settled its claims with the U.S. for a $126 million civil penalty. Additionally, the defendant agreed to pay $13,041,000 to Illinois, $13,986,000 to North Carolina, $17,031,000 to Ohio and $39,942,000 to California’s Public Rights Law Enforcement Special Fund used to support the investigation and prosecution of matters within the authority of the Department of Justice’s Public Rights Division.
