Summary

The FTC is pursuing John and Roman Cresto for allegedly defrauding customers in an e-commerce scheme. The brothers promised success on Amazon and Walmart but failed to deliver, leaving customers in debt. They made millions selling themselves as e-commerce experts, living a lavish lifestyle fueled by deception. The FTC is cracking down on deceptive e-commerce consultancies, with Amazon supporting the case. The Cresto brothers attempted to pawn off their businesses to another operator, who is now suing them for deception.
