"Under the agreement, he's prohibited from making misrepresentations about crowdfunding campaigns and failing to honor refund policies in the future."
I may be naive here, but isn't this already illegal? Like, isn't this stuff that you should be doing already?
I would think a more fitting punishment would be to ban him from having anything to do with a crowdfunding campaign, ever.
- dragonwriter 11y agoViolating the order in a previous case can be a separate offense with its own punishment, so a court order that prohibits conduct that is already prohibited by law does have a purpose. That said, "misrepresentations about crowdfunding campaings" and "failing to honor refund policies" might often be either fraud (in the former case) or breach of contract (in the latter case), but things might fall into either of the first two categories without necessarily meeting the legal standard of either of the last two.
