Financial Freedom Processing, et al., stating that the FTC had failed to establish by a preponderance of evidence that the defendants — Dallas-based consumer-debt settlement companies and some of their founders — had violated the FTC Act. The defense lawyer says he relied on a "belt and suspenders" approach: empirical and expert-opinion support for his arguments.
