Opposing Decisions – Does the FTC Have the Authority to Ban Non-Compete Clauses?

In April, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) promulgated a new rule banning non-competes (the Rule); the FTC adopted the Rule to prohibit employers from entering into or enforcing non-compete clauses with workers and senior executives. Several lawsuits were quickly filed challenging the rules. Separate parties filed in Texas (in which cases were consolidated), and ATS Tree Services, LLC, filed an…

Summary: Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex is the place to be for your wintertime getaway! Why go through the trouble of hauling the family out to a boring cabin or spend days in a car on a roadtrip only to be disappointed by the destination? At Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex, you can have twice as much fun for half the cost* all while celebrating your winter holiday of choice with Freddy and the band!

*Actual savings is not guaranteed, Fazbear Entertainment LLC is not liable for financial loss or bodily harm while using its services.

Most people often assumed that as the year wore on into the winter season, the Pizzaplex would see an influx of visitors. It's a fair assumption for someone to make after all, given the general allure it held to the masses: the building itself was optimally heated against the bone-chilling cold (which was an obvious but important detail), and there was never a shortage of activities to keep even the pickiest child or begrudging adult entertained year-round.

Between the basic amenities of the arcade, food court, shopping center, daycare facilities and thensome, it was nearly impossible not to be unconsciously lured into spending countless hours (and dollars) within the enormous complex in some form—and that’s not even going into the main entertainment areas themed after the main cast of animatronic characters that are the literal face of the company.

However, that's… not entirely right. Not wrong, but not right either.

The Pizzaplex consistently has a solid showing of people��more than enough to keep it open most days of the year (save for the quarterly repairs and audits requiring it to be shut down to the public for at least 48 hours). But even the great name of Fazbear Entertainment LLC couldn't deny that as summer faded into fall, then chilled into winter, the average number of daily customers dropped somewhat significantly. Not enough to warrant laying off what few human employees still worked in the building, but certainly to be an apparent issue in their eyes.

Which is why—as far as you’re aware—they decided to incorporate the ‘warmth and wonder’ of the holidays into the decoration and activities within the Pizzaplex once October turned over to November.

'Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex is the place to be for your wintertime getaway!' the new ad had read, which had quickly replaced almost every flier and trifold map in the span of one hectic post-Halloween evening. 'Why go through the trouble of hauling the family out to a boring cabin or spend days in a car on a roadtrip only to be disappointed by the destination? At Freddy Fazbear's Mega Pizzaplex, you can have twice as much fun for half the cost* all while celebrating your winter holiday of choice with Freddy and the band!'

Most of the activities featured were simply changes to the ones already in the facility—some were more significant like Fazer Blast becoming Fazer Frostbite, with snow-themed projectiles instead of laser guns, while others like Monty's Gator Golf were simply given a general winter makeover: fake powder snow covered the trees and ground, with the occasional snowman placed somehow in all the perfect spots to get destroyed by a kid's extremely lucky (and extremely overdone for mini golf) putting.

You didn't need to worry about laser arcades or the horrible aim of overzealous children—instead you were in charge of the daycare facilities—more specifically in this case, the decorations and aesthetic of the daycare itself. It wasn’t nearly as exciting or in-depth as other human-held positions in the Pizzaplex, but it kept you busy all the same.

Honestly, the job was quite a nice change of pace from the constant busybody work you were used to outside of the winter-themed antics, mostly office work that largely involved schedule and personnel management for the few human workers in the daycare. You’d almost like to call yourself a manager some days, but there was very little to actually manage—much of the facility was almost fully automated, hence your willingness to take on the extra responsibilities of seeing the entire room looking like a 'winter wonderland'.

So you find yourself standing at the center of the main area, between both the two huge jungle gyms and several decisions on what type of decorations looked best on them. The choices were a bit limited since you could only use what the supply department, but varied enough that the choice was important.

"Classic red and green?" you murmur to yourself, tilting your head to the side as if that would give you mental clarity. "Maybe blues? They sent over a lot of ice and snowflake decals..."

Another tilt of the head offered no greater revelation, leaving you more annoyed than anything else. Snowflakes? Candy canes?

Maybe you could work the decorating into some of the daily craft activities with the older kids... They could decorate trees or houses perhaps, or make paper snowflakes? It's not like most of the regular drop-offs didn't like to help out in some way, even if it was often pretend or made-up little jobs they could parade around like 'keep watch at the top of the jungle gym for monsters' or 'build the tallest lego mountain before mom and dad come to pick you up'.

A gentle hand on your shoulder is more than enough to startle you from your thoughts. A quick and slightly surprised glance reveals that it's only one of the daycare employees coming to tell you that their shift is almost done, so they were getting ready to head out for the evening.

"You're not staying late are ya boss?"

"Sure am," you say with a soft chuckle, rubbing the back of your head. "We need to have most of these decorations up before the start of next week, so I want to get a head start."

"Just yourself?"

You simply offer a noncommittal shrug, but the young worker simply takes it at face value and leaves to go grab his things in the back employee storage office. Soon after he leaves the daycare with a wave and a half-hearted joke about not being a salaried employee.

A few minutes pass, silence gently enveloping the daycare as other parts of the facility are powered down for the night. Normally it would feel just a bit surreal, given you were used to constant noise of music and screaming children echoing about, but there's something oddly warm about the half-done winter decorations already strewn up around you, even if you know that the initiative was hardly out of the goodwill alone of the CEO's heart.

The silence is broken by a sudden sound of heavy footsteps behind you; you turn, half-expecting to see your employee having forgotten one of his personal items and asking you to let him into the back room again, but you're pleased to see the Daycare Attendant animatronic—Sun, to be specific. He was practically radiating with joy as always, with a fresh sheen to his casing and a replacement of his normal outfit to be a bit more winter-adjacent.

"I thought you'd be out of commission for longer," the words are honest but gentle, and you can't help but give the bot a glance up and down. "The kids really did a number on you, I was... a little worried, actually."

Lie. You were actually quite a lot worried (more than was probably reasonable), but he didn't need to know that—not only were things already a tad awkward after the closet debacle a few weeks ago, but he'd also probably feel overly anxious about causing any sort of distress in another person, directly or otherwise.

The animatronic looked a bit bashful for a moment despite lack of facial features, but nonetheless lifted up his hands to wave away your concern.

"It wasn't that bad, I promise! The littlest ones always love to explore after all," he all but chirps in his over-enthusiastic tone, but it trails off after a moment as you stare him down. "... er, I mean, they didn't break anything important. Technically it was a wonderful experience for Jade, the new animatronic caretaker! She says she never realized that case plates could be pried off with a screwdriver, so she made sure to secure them extra-strong this time!"

He thumps a closed fist over his chest as if to prove it... though changes to policy after the incident ensured that the kids couldn't get into the emergency tool bag. All in all, it was just another good example of why little details were always the most important part of the job.

Nonetheless, he's fixed and in one complete piece, so that's enough for a smile to start tugging at your lips. Sun feels like he'd be smiling in kind if the expression wasn't permanent on his face—it wasn't hard to learn how to read his body language and tone of voice after a while.

"So what are you working on, star?"

The nickname is taken from what he calls the kids—little stars, respectively—and it never fails to bring heat to your face, even if you know he's simply acting on the personality he's supposed to have in the first place.

"We're putting up the winter decorations for the holidays." Your face turns back towards the jungle gyms, this time with a renewed sense of direction and a new question on your lips. "Would you like to help me with some of them, Sun?"

The animatronic all but dances in place with giddiness, answer obvious but he answers all the same, "Oh, absolutely! I wouldn't want to do anything else right now, we'll have so much fun doing that!" but he pauses after a moment, finally perching hands on his thin hips in an almost over-dramatic motion of curiosity. "... what holidays happen in winter?"

You blink at first in confusion, but quickly realize that he'd have no reason to know that information, so of course it wouldn't have been programmed or placed into the animatronic's data for reference—really goes to show the priorities of the company, honestly. Despite being a state-of-the-art piece of technology, Sun wasn't inherently connected to the internet; it was a security feature supposedly, both to keep his systems from getting a virus but also because...

Well, it would be quite the news story if one of the animatronics somehow stumbled upon some rather... inappropriate content that could mess with their personality matrices. And not that they haven't tried before; Monty was infamous for trying on multiple occasions to bulldoze through the firewall for clout alone. Sun and Moon, meanwhile, never asked or bothered much about it—though you did have a bad habit of letting them play around with your phone's hotspot data to watch youtube videos for new craft project ideas.

"There's a lot!" you finally reply, excited in a way so rarely felt around anyone else in the facility. "Off the top of my head there's Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Christmas—Diwali is in November, and technically there's the Lunar New Year after January." Your eyes drift off to the side as you try to think a little harder. "I know there's some others too, but there's a lot to celebrate in the winter! I'm actually a bit happy we're able to like, actually do something special for the season."

"Oh my," Sun tilts his head to the side, practically radiating with awe at the information. "That is a lot! I would absolutely love to help you decorate—oh! Are you going to be staying late tonight?"

You nod, and one might think that the bot was told that the entire world had become nothing but sunshine and daisies by the way he jumped in place, clapping his hands together with a sharp metallic noise.

"A slumber party! We haven't had one in so long and— and think of all the fun we can have! We'll get sleeping bags and I can find the fake campfire, and maybe if we're super duper brave then Moon can come out and tell scaaaary stories!"

"Decorating first," you waggle a finger at him, "and then we can have a slumber party. I need to get the jungle gyms finished before tomorrow morning at the very least."

"Affirmative!" Sun gave you a dramatic salute before hurrying off, his voice echoing. "I'm going to get some extra craft supplies—just you wait, we'll have the best holiday decorations in the entire Pizzaplex!"

A sigh escapes your lips after that, though it's oddly not one of annoyance or exhaustion. Salary hours were notoriously horrible, but somehow you never quite felt like you had a bad time with it. Maybe the company is just what you need to keep from getting overwhelmed by it all.

And you know what? Candy canes would be the perfect theme for the daycare—that's definitely something you could make with construction paper and glitter glue... right?

A technology company that has been essential in keeping far-right and extremist websites online was acquired last year by a firm that operates an empire of shell companies across the United States, according to people familiar with the deal.

Epik.com has been for years the go-to domain registrar for websites that other companies refuse to do business with. Sites dedicated to white nationalism, QAnon conspiracy theories, and harassing transgender people were all welcomed by Epik. Now, it appears that Epik’s new owner may abandon the extremist fringe and shift its customer base toward companies seeking to operate in the shadows.

Rob Monster, a born-again Christian who founded Epik in 2009, had been key in keeping many of the most extreme websites online. He often went to great lengths to personally defend the sites and extolled the virtues of free speech. Epik was sold to new ownership last year after the company unraveled amid allegations of gross financial mismanagement.

An accounting firm hired by Epik to conduct a forensic investigation alleged that Monster had misappropriated more than $3.5 million, according to an internal preliminary report obtained by WIRED. More than $1.5 million was attributed to Monster personally withdrawing funds from the company. Nearly $2 million of Epik funds was used in Kingdom Ventures, Monsters’ venture capital firm, according to the report.

Monster didn’t respond to multiple requests for comment.

The buyer of Epik’s domain registrar business was a brand-new company that had been incorporated in Wyoming weeks before the sale was completed last summer: Epik LLC. The owner of Epik LLC, according to two people familiar with the deal, is Registered Agents Inc. The company confirmed its ownership in a press release late Friday night.

Registered Agents Inc. and its subsidiary companies claim to have offices in every state and Washington, DC. Its services allow companies to operate anonymously in a jurisdiction of its choosing. Registered Agents Inc. says it provides services to over 1 million companies.

The founder and owner of Registered Agents, according to two people familiar with the company, is a man named Dan Keen. In an email, a lawyer for Registered Agents Inc. says Keen is not the owner nor an employee of Registered Agents Inc. or Epik, and that he acted as a consultant in the acquisition.

Keen is intensely private, according to multiple people who have worked with him who requested anonymity to discuss details of the deal. “He has made it his mission in life to be invisible,” said one. “He’s someone who likes to operate in the shadows,” claims another. Keen is a serial entrepreneur who previously ran a lawn care and tree-trimming business, according to public records.

Keen has no website or social media pages. Emails sent by Keen don’t include a signature. Attempts to reach Keen for comment led to a reply from Bryce Myrvang, a lawyer for Registered Agents Inc.

Using a registered agent to incorporate a business allows the owner to shield who actually owns it. A registered agent will act as an official point of contact for a company, receiving legal notices and mail, and filing incorporation documents with the state. In Wyoming alone, Registered Agents Inc. represents around 50,000 companies, according to the Wyoming secretary of state.

For example, a company that uses Registered Agents Inc. to set up shop in Wyoming would have its address listed as 30 N. Gould Sreet, a squat one-story building in the town of Sheridan.

A local paper in Wyoming, The Sheridan Press, reported in August 2021 that scam business had been linked to the 30 N. Gould Street address, where more than 20 registered agent firms claim to have their offices. An editor's note added after publication stated, “It remains completely legal for registered agents to do what they’re doing under Wyoming Statute.”

A 2022 investigation by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists found that “oligarchs, criminals and online scammers” have used registered agents to operate in the United States and shield their true identity.

Registered Agents Inc.’s acquisition of Epik allows the company to extend its offerings to the internet, providing its customers another layer of anonymity for their websites.

“This most recent acquisition provided an opportunity to expand our business offerings to include a business email address, a domain name, and open source website hosting at a reasonable cost,” Myrvang tells WIRED. “Registered Agents Inc. now has the capability to establish an entire business identity for its customers in less than 10 minutes.”

Clues about changes within Epik first emerged in January, when the company terminated its relationship with Kiwi Farms, a notorious trolling site whose users are dedicated to perpetuating never-ending drama and misery. In a series of bizarre and now deleted tweets, Epik claimed it suspended Kiwi Farms in response to a US court order and that the site hosted child sexual abuse material. In response, the Kiwi Farms administrator began crowdfunding money for a defamation lawsuit against Epik. “You specialize in defamation, revenge porn, harassment, and hate speech and you want to sue us? We will expose all your and your users dirty secrets and they will be permanent public records,” the EpikLLC X account replied. “The judgment we will win against you will follow you the rest of your life.”

It was as if a new set of trolls with an entirely different worldview had taken over Epik.

“Alright all Whiny, Beta Snowflakes. Our DEI hires of the month canceled #Kiwifarms,” another post from EpikLLC read. “We don't like hate speech, porn, or doxxing. #JoeBiden will fix it! 2024!”

Some of the tweets trolling Epik were later deleted. “If such comments and or interactions on X were found to be offensive, Epik LLC formally apologizes to those individuals and or company,” Myrvang, the company's lawyer, says. “Further, the appropriate action has been taken internally in relation to the comments made on X.” It’s unclear if Epik’s new owners singled out Kiwi Farms or if it has booted other sites from its service. “Epik.com’s Terms of Service has been updated to maintain compliance with all regulatory requirements,” Myrvang says. When asked if the company has stopped working with other customers, Myrvang says, “Epik LLC will suspend and or terminate relationships with any company and or individual who violates its Terms of Services.”

In late 2022, Epik customers began reporting that they were suddenly unable to withdraw money from Masterbucks, Epik’s payment platform, which facilitated buying and selling pricey domain names. One customer, Luigi Marruso, posted on the domain name forum NamePros claiming that Epik was holding onto $1.5 million of its money. In an email to WIRED, Marruso says he still hasn’t been paid back.

Another customer, Matthew Adkisson, sued Epik and Monster, claiming they had mismanaged or embezzled $327,000 from him as he sought to purchase nourish.com. Epik later settled with Adkisson.

Claims like Adkisson’s began to pile up on forums for professionals in the domain name business (known as “domainers”), and Epik was in serious financial jeopardy.

Epik’s customers, fearing the worst, rushed to get their money back from the company. Epik even had outstanding debts with ICANN, the nonprofit that serves as a global administrator for the internet, according to legal filings.

“They were using customer funds to fund its operations. People started asking for those customer funds back, and they couldn't pay them,” says Andrew Allemann, a journalist who covered the fiasco for Domain Name Wire. “There was a run on the bank, and the money wasn’t there.”

In September 2022, a new CEO was installed at Epik in an attempt to stem the bleeding and settle the company’s debts. Epik, once valued by an investor at around $150 million was sold for around $5 million dollars in June 2023, according to a purchase agreement released as an exhibit in the Adkisson lawsuit. Much of the $5 million purchase price was allocated to paying off some of Epik’s debts. It’s unclear if the terms of the final deal match the one released as part of the lawsuit, but a source familiar with the acquisition says it was generally similar.

The rest of the debt was left with Monster. Just how much Monster owes former customers and vendors is unknown. Two former Epik customers told WIRED they’re still waiting to be paid back $38,000 and $20,000, respectively.

The Importance of Structural Drying After Storm Damage

Just the word can send shivers down your spine, especially if you've ever experienced the havoc they can wreak. From torrential downpours and flash floods to damaging winds and hail, storms can leave a trail of destruction in their wake, often impacting the very structure of our homes and businesses. While the immediate aftermath might focus on visible damage like fallen trees or broken windows, the real danger often lurks unseen: water damage. And that's where the critical process of structural drying comes in.

Think of your home or business as a complex system. The walls, floors, ceilings, insulation, and even the very foundation all work together. When a storm hits and water intrudes, this delicate balance is disrupted. Even if the water recedes quickly, the damage can be extensive and long-lasting if not addressed properly. This is why structural drying is so essential. It's not just about mopping up a spill; it's a comprehensive process that aims to remove all moisture from the affected areas, preventing further damage and restoring the structural integrity of your property.

So, why is structural drying so important? Let's break it down:

1. Preventing Mold Growth: This is perhaps the most significant and concerning reason. Mold thrives in damp, dark environments. After a storm, the hidden pockets of moisture within walls, under floors, and in ceilings become breeding grounds for mold colonies. Mold isn't just unsightly; it can pose serious health risks, triggering allergies, asthma attacks, and other respiratory problems. Structural drying attacks the problem at its source, removing the moisture that mold needs to survive, thus preventing its growth and protecting your health.

2. Protecting Structural Integrity: Water damage can weaken the structural components of your building. Wood can warp, rot, and decay, while metal can rust and corrode. Over time, this can compromise the stability of your property, leading to costly repairs or even structural failure. Structural drying removes the moisture before it can cause significant damage, preserving the strength and integrity of your building.

3. Preventing Further Damage: Water damage doesn't just stay in one place. It can spread through capillary action, seeping into walls, ceilings, and other areas far from the initial point of entry. This can lead to hidden damage that goes unnoticed until it's too late. Structural drying addresses all affected areas, preventing the spread of moisture and minimizing the extent of the damage.

4. Restoring Your Property Faster: The longer you wait to address water damage, the more extensive the damage becomes, and the longer it takes to repair. Structural drying speeds up the restoration process by quickly and effectively removing moisture. This means you can get back to your normal routine sooner, minimizing disruption and inconvenience.

5. Saving Money in the Long Run: While structural drying might seem like an added expense, it's actually a cost-effective investment in the long run. By preventing mold growth, structural damage, and the spread of moisture, you avoid much more costly repairs down the road. Think of it as preventative maintenance for your property.

6. Protecting Your Belongings: Water damage can ruin your furniture, electronics, documents, and other valuable possessions. Structural drying helps to minimize the damage to your belongings by removing moisture before it can cause irreparable harm.

7. Improving Indoor Air Quality: Damp environments can lead to poor indoor air quality, which can negatively impact your health and well-being. Structural drying helps to improve indoor air quality by removing excess moisture and preventing the growth of mold and other harmful microorganisms.

8. Ensuring Insurance Coverage: Many insurance policies cover water damage caused by storms, but they often require that you take steps to mitigate the damage as soon as possible. Professional structural drying is often a necessary step to ensure that your claim is approved and that you receive the full coverage you're entitled to.

9. Peace of Mind: Knowing that your property has been thoroughly dried and restored can give you peace of mind. You can rest assured that you've taken the necessary steps to protect your investment and the health of your family or employees.

10. Professional Expertise and Equipment: Structural drying is not a DIY job. It requires specialized equipment, knowledge, and experience to be done effectively. Professional structural drying companies have the tools and expertise to identify all affected areas, measure moisture levels, and implement the appropriate drying techniques. They understand the science behind drying and can ensure that the job is done right, preventing future problems.

So, how do you choose the right structural drying service? Look for a company with a proven track record, certified technicians, and state-of-the-art equipment. They should be able to provide you with a detailed assessment of the damage and a comprehensive plan for restoring your property. They should also be transparent about their pricing and process.

If you're in the Vancouver, WA area and have experienced storm damage, I highly recommend reaching out to All Season Restoration LLC. They have a reputation for their professionalism, expertise, and commitment to customer satisfaction. They understand the urgency of the situation and will respond quickly to assess the damage and begin the drying process. Their team is highly trained and experienced in all aspects of structural drying, and they use the latest technology to ensure that your property is restored to its pre-loss condition. Don't let water damage ruin your home or business. Contact All Season Restoration LLC today for fast, reliable, and effective structural drying services. Protect your investment and your health by choosing a company you can trust.
