paperwork.

This is from the FTC filed against OTA.
voice-verified
Which if you're going to translate it,
voice-verified
is to say that we at the FTC, whose job ostensibly is to protect consumer interests, are noticing that there is a pattern here, which leads us to wanna shut your operation down.
voice-verified
Yes.
voice-verified
And so we can say then, as a very related matter, that by September 11th, 2020, there is a settlement that has been reached.
voice-verified
OTA is required by the federal government to offer debt forgiveness to the thousands of consumers who purchased the training programs.
voice-verified
In addition, the company's founder and other execs were forced to pay between $5 and $9.7 million.
voice-verified
The settlement also included a monetary judgment of $362 million, which was partially suspended due to the defendant's inability to pay it.

OTA becomes Life Surge.
voice-verified
Although, what LifeSurge wants you to know, amid their 3,000-word statement, was, in part, quote, none of those individuals were named in the FTC action involving Online Trading Academy, end quote.
voice-verified
And that Steve Champa, for instance, was merely the chief revenue officer of OTA's Atlanta branch.
voice-verified
LifeSearch also wrote us that the individuals they brought over from OTA have, quote, led LifeSearch to significantly invest in compliance.
voice-verified
Meeting applicable regulatory requirements is the baseline, end quote.
voice-verified
But they did also note something interesting, which is that, quote, there is some overlap between portions of LifeSurge's curriculum and concepts taught by other education providers, including Trading Academy, end quote, the content of which LifeSurge has a continuing right to use as part of its broader educational ecosystem.
voice-verified
There is also this, and this is the thickest of all of the packets we have, but this is 2025.
voice-verified
It's August.
voice-verified
It's the Department of Justice filing suit against Joe Johnson, accusing him of abusive real estate practice.
