    I believe they function more as reacting to complaints than a
    proactive role in those things. I know that a chain dealer nearby was
    shut down because they were selling huge quantities of bunk chains -
    plated brass sold as 18kt. and stuff. That I know came from the FTC,
    though I believe it was the FBI that knocked on the door. I don't
    think anybody here has to worry about it, but they do act when
    necessary
