District court rules against the FTC

The FTC sued the operators of a Pennsylvania-based telemarketing operation in May 2020. According to the supplied case description, the agency alleged that the operators charged businesses, schools, fire and police departments, and nonprofit organizations for books and newsletter subscriptions those organizations had never ordered.

The same description discusses a New York-based debt collection operation and says International Credit Recovery, Inc., officer Richard Diorio, Jr., and manager Cynthia Powell agreed in April 2023 to a permanent ban from the debt collection industry. Those are separately named defendants, so that settlement is not attributed here to American Future Systems.

For the claims against the subject of this entry, the description says the district court ruled against the FTC in March 2024. It also says the court denied the FTC’s post-trial motion to alter or amend the judgment in June 2024. The supplied description does not state that consumers or organizations lost a specific dollar amount, and it does not report an order requiring American Future Systems to pay redress.
