Commissioners remedies when issues arise are: Administrative Decisions Civil Prosecution Criminal Prosecution Commissioner Joseph illustrated recent actions taken against fraudulent individuals. Nearly all cases cited were a result of individuals being sucked in to offers that were too good to believe, e.g. a $59,000 investment that would provide a return of $6,000 a month in perpetuity. Recent criminal prosecutions have resulted in prison sentences up to 338 years. Efforts are made to recover whatever assets still exist.

Assets that are recovered are returned to victims with nothing withheld for prosecution costs.
