Description:
The FTC's enforcement program has long included the remedy of disgorgement, which requires that a defendant found liable return ill-gotten gains. Will the Supreme Court take this authority away? Michael Kades, Tim Muris, Maureen Ohlhausen and John Villafranco join Gerald Stein for a discussion of the Supreme Court's oral argument and what may happen to the FTC's disgorgement. Listen to this special episode to learn more about the future of this important FTC remedy.
