An FTC and Utah case against a real estate coaching company ended in judgments of more than $111 million, but the defunct corporations held about $5 million in receivership.

The FTC later sent more than $12 million in refunds to 25,563 consumers, nearly five years after the September 2019 lawsuit. The case ended in a settlement, not a trial verdict.
