I'll tell ya...I don't care if this guy is telling the truth or not. One call to the FTC *CAN* fuck up a company:

http://www.ftc.gov/os/caselist/0523059/0523059.htm

Before the pundits chime in on the TrustSoft issue, I was employed there at the time of the FTC raid. I know what initiated it. It was a single complaint from a consumer about violatioins of the CAN-SPAM act...which TrustSoft was absolutely *NOT* in violation of. But once the FTC comes through your door they examine EVERYTHING you do -- and they were able to find a lot, resulting in the loss of my employer's fortune.

Of course, at that time the FTC did have a hard on for anything related to "Spyware" so they acted on the single complaint.
