12DailyPro Investigation VI - The SEC Order

Here is the court order that the SEC obtained recently against 12DailyPro, LIfeClicks and Charis Johnson, for updates on Ms. Johnson click here

The order is interesting. The Receiver is given the usual powers to wind-up the scheme, including the power to run the 12DailyPro website. But there doesn't seem to be a term in the order allowing the Receiver to "protect" the trademarks of 12DailyPro - in any successful Ponzi scheme, as it grows in popularity clones appear at the tail end of the scheme. But the Receiver may not have the requisite power to shut the clones down. The scheme may morph over the internet, roaches fleeing from the light.

In a related story, ABC is reporting that apparently 8000 individuals from Utah were involved with 12DailyPro. This is an angle worth following - how did these 8000 individuals know of eahc other? It is unlikely that they were simply surfing the web and found this autosurfer "program".
