I don't think the FTC can prosecute someone for criminal charges, regardless of proof. They would need the DoJ or an US Attorney to follow up on those. AFAIK, IANAL.

I think the DOJ could potentially build off of this case, though.

Amateur question : would that fall under double jeopardy ?

IANAL but no, double jeopardy only applies to criminal cases

Are there ways we as citizens can push them to follow up on this?
