Spoke with Mr. Cohen of the FTC this afternoon, and thought I'd pass along the current news. The Dec 23rd date was the date the order was filed with the court, so it was not in effect at that time. It was signed by the judge last week, so some things are now in effect.
DRoA should not be sending further solicitations that are not in compliance with the order. It was not clear if this applied to resubmitting transfers that were gained by existing solicitations. They have 30 days for complying with some other provisions of the order such as posting a link on their site for providing refunds...
