    James, of course I'm aware of FTC and FCC. My sense is that they have
    not done very much to combat fraud in our industry, and it is like
    'pulling teeth' to get them to take action. 

    Back in the 80's there were some coordinated raids in downtown L.A,
    and some folks were busted for underkarating; BUT, I believe that the
    MAIN thrust was re: money laundering, and that it was the Treasury
    Dept. which did the raiding.
