Entrepreneur Ban

The operator of several Internet online auction sites that marketed low-priced computers but never delivered the merchandise would be barred for life from conducting any Internet commerce under a proposed settlement with the Federal Trade Commission.

Internet entrepreneur Craig Lee Hare, who did business as Experienced Designed Computers and C&H; Computing Services, would be barred by the FTC from advertising, marketing or selling goods or services via the Internet; from making misrepresentations about any goods or service he sells; and from violating the Mail or Telephone Order Merchandise Rule.

The stipulated permanent injunctions with the two defendants were filed in U.S. District Court in West Palm Beach, Fla. They must be signed by a judge before they take effect.
