Redwood Scientific & Jason Cardiff final judgments entered

A federal court has slammed the door shut on Redwood Scientific Technologies, declaring final judgment against the company and its owner Jason Cardiff for running an elaborate fraud operation that bilked consumers out of money for bogus health products.

The Federal Trade Commission filed the case back in 2018, accusing Redwood and a network of shell companies of violating multiple consumer protection laws. The corporate defendants—Redwood Scientific Technologies, Identify LLC, Advanced Men's Institute Prolongz LLC, Run Away Products LLC, and Carols Place LP—never bothered mounting a defense. When none of them filed a response to the FTC's complaint, the agency moved for default judgment in August 2020. The court granted it.

The judgment also extends to Cardiff and his wife Eunjung Cardiff, both named in the final order.

The court found the various companies were nothing more than different iterations of the same operation, designed to obscure the true nature of the fraud. The judgment imposes sweeping permanent injunctions that effectively shut down their ability to operate.

Here's what Redwood can no longer do: They cannot bill customers for products unless those customers explicitly opt in. They cannot make robocalls or ringless voicemails. They are permanently banned from multilevel marketing schemes. They cannot sell dissolvable oral film strips to consumers.

The health claims are now off limits too. Redwood cannot claim its products help people quit smoking, cause weight loss, suppress appetite, prevent weight regain, boost sexual performance, treat premature ejaculation, or cure any disease. They cannot market products as superior alternatives for any of these purposes.

Beyond health claims, the judgment prohibits Redwood from misrepresenting product endorsements, falsely claiming products are made in the US, making deceptive income claims, and lying about customer satisfaction rates. They cannot mislead consumers about costs, refund policies, product benefits, trial offers, billing practices, or how customer information gets used.

The company also faces a blanket prohibition on failing to honor refunds and cancellation requests. They cannot engage in credit card laundering, lie to banks and payment processors, dodge fraud-monitoring systems, make unauthorized charges, or misuse customer data.

There is one narrow exception: Redwood can make health claims about products if they have legitimate scientific evidence to back them up. But the bar is high. That evidence must come from human clinical testing of the actual product or an essentially equivalent product, conducted at a level of quality and quantity that meets FDA standards.

The judgment marks the end of years of consumer complaints about aggressive billing, impossible refunds, and fake health promises. For the hundreds of people who lost money to Redwood's schemes, it amounts to a legal vindication. For the company and its principals, it means the operation is finished.
