ORDER FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION WITH ASSET  FREEZE AND APPOINTMENT OF PERMANENT RECEIVER

This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff Federal Trade Commission's Complaint for an injunction and other equitable relief, and its ex parte Application pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b) for a Temporary Restraining Order ("TRO") with Asset Freeze, Order Appointing a Temporary Receiver, and Order to Show Cause Why a Preliminary Injunction Should Not Issue and Why a Permanent Receiver Should Not Be Appointed. The TRO with Asset Freeze and Order to Show Cause having been granted ex parte and served with the Complaint and summons on all Defendants, and the Court having considered all pleadings, memoranda, declarations, and other exhibits filed with respect to said Application, and having heard oral argument and now being fully advised in the premises, finds:

1. This Court has jurisdiction of the subject matter of this case, and there is good cause to believe it will have jurisdiction over all parties.
2. There is good cause to believe that Defendants Inetintl.Com, Inc., also known as Inet International; Craig A. Lawson, also known as Bob Bryan; Erik R. Arnesen; and Stanley R. Goldberg, also known as Geoff Stevens, have engaged in and are likely to engage in acts and practices that violate Section 5(a) of the FTC Act, 15 U.S.C. § 45(a), and that Defendants Inetintl.Com, Inc., also known as Inet International; Craig A. Lawson, also known as Bob Bryan; and Erik R. Arnesen have engaged in and are likely to engage in acts and practices that violate the Franchise Rule, 16 C.F.R. Part 436. Plaintiff Commission therefore is likely to prevail on the merits of this action.
3. There is a substantial likelihood that, absent the continuation of the asset freeze, applicable to all Defendants, Defendants will conceal, dissipate or otherwise divert their assets, thereby defeating the possibility of effective final relief in the form of equitable monetary relief for consumers.
4. Good cause exists for the appointment of a Permanent Receiver.
5. Weighing the equities and considering the Commission's likelihood of success in its causes of action, this Preliminary Injunction is in the public interest.

6. No security is required of any agency of the United States for issuance of a restraining order. Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(c).
