Defendants’ Settlements with the Federal Trade Commission

On August 26, 2025, the Court approved the FTC’s settlements with the Defendants in the Click Profit action. As part of the settlements, which were also subject to an approval process within the FTC, each set of Defendants stipulated to a money judgment, turnover of certain assets, and an injunction preventing their participation in certain business activities. These stipulated orders are posted on this website’s “Court Filings” section for your review.

Pursuant to these settlements, the Defendants are directly turning over to the FTC funds held in their personal accounts, which have been frozen since the case began. The Defendants are also turning over various assets, including vehicles and real estate, to the Receiver. The Receiver will liquidate these assets and, together with the remaining funds held in the company accounts, will transfer the proceeds to the FTC. The Receiver’s role and authority are continued for the purpose of receiving and liquidating these assets and transferring the proceeds to the FTC, although the Receiver may also pursue other recoveries if deemed necessary.

Once the FTC receives all funds, it will commence its redress/refund process for consumers. The timing of this process is difficult to estimate because it requires receipt of all funds from the Defendants and their assets, along with an accounting of the received funds. Based on the FTC’s records and the Receiver’s records, we do not anticipate that consumers will need to affirmatively submit claims. Rather, consumers may expect a payment representing a pro rata refund. We will advise consumers as we approach that stage to address any concerns or questions about the process.
