The following describes a government action that has been resolved by either a settlement or a decision by a court or administrative agency. If the matter is being appealed, it will be noted below.
On April 14, 2023, Asknet, Inc. and affiliated company Nexway, Inc. and principals Victor Lezuitov and Casey Potenzone entered into a permanent injunction for a complaint brought against the defendants by the Department of Justice on behalf of the Federal Trade Commission (Case No. 1:23-cv-00900).
According to the complaint, it is alleged that as of August 2016, the defendants were in violation of the FTC Act and the Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR), for processing credit card payments for foreign based clients who were involved with committing telemarketing fraud. According to court documents representatives processed credit card charges to consumers who were led to believe their computer had been infected and repairs were needed to remove a virus. In addition to the defendants knowing of the deceptive business practices of their clients, it is also alleged that the defendant engaged in “credit card laundering.”
The Federal Trade Commission and The Justice Department will collect $650,000 in consumer compensation from the defendants. The payment of $650,000 will result in the suspension of the total monetary judgment of $49.5 million granted by the court.
