U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 14-3286
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Gruender and Beam, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Federal Trade Commission Act. The consumer class proposed
intervenors did not have standing to intervene as a matter of right in the
FTC's action to enjoin a company from marketing and selling Bitcoin mining
machines; the interests of the consumers' proposed class were subsumed
within the public interest because the FTC, on behalf of all consumers,
sought relief for the deceptive and unconscionable business practices
alleged by the consumers and there was no showing the FTC would not
adequately represent those interests.
