My original comment was misinformed. I did not realize the full scope of civil law.
According to 815 ILCS 505 there are only three defined instances that warrant a felony charge and this is only if there is a previous conviction(misdemeanor).
I'll leave it to you to show me where in the U.S.C. there is an opportunity to charge them with a felony.
- ccleve 5y ago18 USC 1001, plus others. Mail fraud would be one vehicle. Also conspiracy.
- tptacek 5y agoDoes the FTC accuse them of lying to federal authorities? That's what 18 USC 1001 is about. (It's Ken White's archetypical example of a bullshit statute, for what it's worth).
- ccleve 5y agoMy error. I should have said 18 USC 1001 and the following entries all under Chapter 47. There's quite a few examples there. There are also a bunch under Chapter 63.
