Order — U.S. v. Thu Phan Dinh et al. (M.D. Fla.)

Summary

An Order in United States of America v. Thu Phan Dinh, Tran Khanh, Nguyen Duy Toan, all doing business as www.zerostore.site and other domains, Case No. 8:20-cv-1794-KKM-AAS, in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division, filed December 10, 2021 as Document 76. It grants the United States' motion for default judgment (Doc. 64), as modified by the withdrawal of its request to enjoin third parties, and enters a permanent injunction against the defendants. The order recounts allegations that the defendants registered at least 312 websites appearing to sell goods in high demand during the COVID-19 pandemic, shipped nothing, used fake tracking numbers and cycled through PayPal accounts. The Court finds personal jurisdiction under Rule 4(k)(2) and a plausible wire fraud claim under 18 U.S.C. § 1343, and an appendix lists the enjoined domain names.
