<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 8073458, member: 77639&quot;]Unfortunately, fining and collecting are two different animals that are barely in the same universe.&nbsp; The FTC has issued at least $200M in fines but collected only a few thousand dollars.&nbsp; Why?&nbsp; &nbsp; Because of corporate law.&nbsp;&nbsp; Telemarketers set up a corporation (or LLC or LLP) and loan it some money to rent space, computers, phones, furniture and to hire some help.&nbsp; If they make back their initial investment before the FTC cracks down, then it’s profitable.&nbsp; When the FTC cracks down, the corporation declares bankruptcy.&nbsp; Space and equipment go back to the rental companies.&nbsp; Employees are laid off.&nbsp; Repeat.&nbsp; See the links.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-fcc-has-fined-robocallers-208-million-its-collected-6-790-11553770803" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-fcc-has-fined-robocallers-208-million-its-collected-6-790-11553770803" rel="nofollow">https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-fcc-has-fined-robocallers-208-million-its-collected-6-790-11553770803</a></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.khou.com/article/news/investigations/robocalls/why-cant-we-stop-robocalls/85-27b7b517-8fb3-4560-a6bb-4d041690e189" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.khou.com/article/news/investigations/robocalls/why-cant-we-stop-robocalls/85-27b7b517-8fb3-4560-a6bb-4d041690e189" rel="nofollow">https://www.khou.com/article/news/investigations/robocalls/why-cant-we-stop-robocalls/85-27b7b517-8fb3-4560-a6bb-4d041690e189</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
