The following describes a government action that has been resolved by either a settlement or a decision by a court or administrative agency. If the matter is being appealed, it will be noted below.
On May 29, 2019, the businesses, National Book Auctions (National Book), Worth Auctions, LLC (Worth) and JLF Holding, LLC (JLF) owned by David Hall entered into a consent order with the New York State Attorney General. The consent order settles allegations that the businesses fraudulently convinced consumers to deliver their property to these businesses to be sold at auctions, but failed to pay consumers after their property was sold. Under terms of the consent order, the business agreed to Pay $1,041,542.74 for consumer resistion and $52,000 in civil penalties and costs; additionally Hall is required to hire an independent trustee to handle all money from future auctions to ensure that proceeds go to consigning consumers and to the victims. After Hall has paid back all restitution, civil penalties, and costs, he must continue to retain a trustee to handle auction proceeds unless he posts a $500,000 bond to ensure that he complies with the judgment. The consent order was for settlement purposes only and should not be considered as an admission of guilt or finding of violation of the law. For more details, go to the New York State Attorney General's Press Release.
