These cases can involve fraud, scams, identity theft, false advertising, privacy violations, anti-competitive behavior and more.

Quexco Inc.orporated
The Commission accepted a proposed consent agreement with Quexco Incorporated, a company whose parent entity is Howard M. Meyers. The consent agreement related to the proposed acquisition by Quexco of Pacific Dunlop GNB Corporation, which is owned by Pacific Dunlop Limited. Both companies are involved in the secondary smelting of lead. The parties subsequently decided to abandon the sale of GNB to Quexco, which eliminated the need for the relief contained in the consent agreement. The Commission voted to withdraw the consent agreement and close the investigation.
