On April 14, 2016, the Ninth Circuit affirmed in part, and vacated and remanded in
part, the Final Judgment and Permanent Injunction (Dkt. No. 188) entered by this Court.
Specifically, the Ninth Circuit ordered this Court to consider whether it was appropriate
to include in the Judgment against defendant Chance Gordon (“Gordon”) “money that
Gordon earned in the time period prior to the enactment or effectiveness of Regulation O
and the relevant portions of the CFPA.” The Ninth Circuit upheld the remainder of the
Final Judgment and Permanent Injunction and issued its Mandate on August 1, 2016. On
December 12, 2016, this Court determined that Gordon and his related entities collected
$8,606,280.86 in fees after the December 29, 2010 effective date of Regulation O (Dkt.
No. 215).
Therefore, after consideration of the briefs, exhibits, memoranda of the parties, and
the entire record in this matter, the Court enters the following Final Judgment Order
against Gordon, which incorporates by reference the Court’s July 26, 2013 Final
Judgment and Permanent Injunction against Gordon (Dkt. No. 188).

C. Any funds received by the Bureau in satisfaction of this judgment will be

injured consumers, including, but not limited to, refund of moneys, restitution,
damages, or other monetary relief, and for any attendant expenses for the
administration of any such redress. If the Bureau determines, in its sole
discretion, that redress to consumers is wholly or partially impracticable, or if
funds remain after redress is completed, the Bureau will deposit any remaining
funds in the U.S. Treasury as disgorgement. Gordon will have no right to
challenge any actions that the Bureau or its representatives may take under this
Section.
