Judge Issues Order Against Alleged Internet Riches Scheme

A U.S. District Court judge has issued a temporary restraining order to halt what the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) asserts are deceptive claims by an operation that promised a one fee, turn-key get-rich-quick Internet home-business opportunity. At the request of the FTC, Judge David C. Godbey of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas also ordered an asset freeze, pending a preliminary injunction hearing, to provide for consumer redress.
