interests in the Collateral and to carry out the purposes of this Order. Upon Gomez’s timely and 

complete satisfaction of the payment to the Commission specified in Subsection B above, at 

Gomez’s written request, the Commission agrees to release the liens and security interests 

granted herein and Gomez shall be responsible for preparing and filing (at his expense) 

termination or other statements reasonably required in connection therewith. The Commission 

shall also promptly release such liens and security interests to the extent necessary to permit the 

sale or encumbrance of part or all of the Collateral if the proceeds of such sale or financing are 

remitted directly to the Commission immediately upon closing of sale or financing in partial or 

complete satisfaction of the payment to the Commission specified in Subsection B above and 

Gomez shall pay all fees and costs related to such release, including attorney’s fees and filing 

fees. Gomez shall be responsible for paying all fees and costs relating to the preparation, 

execution, delivery, filing, recording, continuation, and termination of the liens and security 

interests granted herein, including attorney’s fees and filing fees.

J. The Commission’s agreement to the suspension of part of the judgment is

submitted to the Commission, namely:

material asset, materially misstated the value of any asset, or made any other material 

misstatement or omission in the financial representations identified above. 

L. If the suspension of the judgment is lifted, the judgment becomes immediately 

due as to that Settling Defendant in the amount specified in Subsection A above (which the 

parties stipulate only for purposes of this Section represents the consumer injury and unjust 

enrichment alleged in the Complaint), less any payments previously made pursuant to this 

Section, plus interest computed from the date of entry of this Order.

and interest in all assets transferred pursuant to this Order and may not seek the return of any

O. The facts alleged in the Complaint establish all elements necessary to sustain an 

action by the Commission pursuant to Section 523(a)(2)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. 

§ 523(a)(2)(A), and this Order will have collateral estoppel effect for such purposes. 

P. Settling Defendants acknowledge that their Taxpayer Identification Numbers 

(Social Security Numbers or Employer Identification Numbers), which Settling Defendants 

previously submitted to the Commission, may be used for collecting and reporting on any 

delinquent amount arising out of this Order, in accordance with 31 U.S.C. §7701. 

Q. All money paid to the Commission or assets ultimately surrendered to the 

Commission pursuant to this Order (or any subsequent Court order issued in this matter) and 

further instructions from the Court may be deposited into a fund administered by the 

Commission or its designee to be used for equitable relief, including consumer redress and any 

attendant expenses for the administration of any redress fund. If a representative of the 

Commission decides that direct redress to consumers is wholly or partially impracticable or 

money remains after redress is completed, the Commission may apply any remaining money for 

such other equitable relief (including consumer information remedies) as it determines to be 

reasonably related to Settling Defendants’ practices alleged in the Complaint. Any money not 

used for such equitable relief is to be deposited to the U.S. Treasury as disgorgement. Settling 

Defendants have no right to challenge any actions the Commission or its representatives may 

take pursuant to this Subsection. 

R. The asset freeze imposed by the March 14, 2018 Temporary Restraining Order 

[ECF No. 29] and the April 18, 2018 Stipulated Temporary Restraining Order as to Defendants 

Adams Consulting, LLC, Global Marketing Services L.L.C., and Jeffrey A. Gomez [ECF No. 

57], is modified to permit the payment and transfers identified in Subsections B and F above.

Upon completion of those payment and transfers, the asset freeze as to Settling Defendants is 

dissolved. 

IV. CUSTOMER INFORMATION 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Settling Defendants, and their representatives, agents,

prescribed by the Commission, within 14 days. 

B. disclosing, using, or benefitting from customer information, including the name,

connection with the advertising, marketing, distribution, promotion and sale of business 

opportunities to consumers throughout the United States; and 

C. failing to destroy such customer information in all forms in their possession, 

custody, or control within 30 days after receipt of written direction to do so from a representative
