Last I heard they where seeking professionals in the field of martial arts that would be willing to serve as consultants. I recommended several and know of at least two that were contacted and accepted.
I also know that the investigation/inquiry stages had begun. This is basically where they pose as consumers and ask complaint related questions (ie. history, proof of history, proof of claimed feats, etc.)
Also, it was suggested that in order to help show intent to defraud and damage to the community, anyone who has a complaint against 0YD should file a complaint (anonymously if you wish) at: https://rn.ftc.gov/dod/wsolcq$.startup?Z_ORG_CODE=PU01 . I know several people from this forum and other have already filed complaints as well as several martial arts school owners who feel that 0YD’s fraudulent practices are damaging the entire martial arts community on a business level.
