How much money were they making off telemarketing that they were fucking banned for life from doing it and they still did it?

Also:

At the time, the FTC said that Cox was issued "a $1.1 million civil penalty that will be suspended due to his inability to pay.

Oh ok, so this fine for more money will certainly mean something...
