    @fne8w2ah “Two of the central players of the operation, Roy M. Cox and Aaron Michael Jones, were under lifetime bans against making telemarketing calls following lawsuits by the Federal Trade Commission and State of Texas.”

    WHY AREN’T THEY IN JAIL

      How much money were they making off telemarketing that they were fucking banned for life from doing it and they still did it?

      Also:

      At the time, the FTC said that Cox was issued "a $1.1 million civil penalty that will be suspended due to his inability to pay.

      Oh ok, so this fine for more money will certainly mean something…

        I feel like we have places to put people who ruin society. Was it mail, rail, shale? I dunno, set them free and bring me a coffee, bailiff.

          I feel like at this point we just go full Spanish Inquisition and burn these motherfuckers at the stake.

        Political theatre to make it seem like they’re doing something about the issue. When in reality, nothing changes.

      Anyone got a number?

      I have some very important information for them regarding expiration of their vehicle warranties.

        That would be a good penalty for them. Their phone number(s) must always be public so anyone can call them whenever they want.
