FTC Jurisdiction and Pyramid Fraud

  • Civil Enforcement Agency: The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is primarily a civil law enforcement agency, not a criminal one.
  • Civil Remedies: The FTC lacks the authority to bring criminal charges or prosecute individuals for criminal offenses related to pyramid schemes or fraud.
  • Actionable Penalties: The FTC acts through the federal court system to obtain civil remedies, such as:
  • Injunctions to halt illegal operations
  • Asset freezes
  • Monetary relief and restitution for victims
  • Criminal Referrals: While the FTC does not prosecute criminally, it routinely works in cooperation with the Department of Justice (DOJ) and other federal or state law enforcement agencies. If the FTC uncovers evidence of willful criminal conduct during an investigation, it can refer the case for criminal prosecution.
