Bay Area man must pay $136,000 in tech-support scam against elderly
This judgement has no teeth:<p>&gt;Under the settlement, Brar — who operated Genius Technologies and Avangatee Services and does not admit or deny the allegations, according to court documents — “is permanently restrained and enjoined from advertising, marketing, promoting, or offering for sale, or assisting in the advertising, marketing, promoting, or offering for sale of Technical Support Services.”<p>This guy is being made to pay 136,000 despite:<p>“The cost to consumers ranged between several hundred dollars to tens of thousands of dollars,” the FTC said of the scam, which appeared to begin in 2015.<p>This is not justice, and this judgement does not serve as a deterrent.  This is grand larceny and needs to be accompanied with jail time for perpetrators.
