IT doesnt matter who instigated it (and the FTC isnt exactly alone in filing suits). You are bound by court rulings, the funds held by a court appointed trustee. A court wouldnt decide that without proper reason. Or do you think the judge is a moron?
Like many sociopaths, he thinks he is the smartest person in the room and everyone else is a moron. So of course he thinks that. People like this can be pimp-slapped by reality again and again without ever learning a thing.
