On December 14, Paul Pemberton pled guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud in connection with business opportunity sales at TransNet Wireless Corp. According to the Information, TransNet purported to sell Internet kiosks, along with assistance in establishing, maintaining, and operating an Internet kiosk business.

According to TransNet, a business opportunity purchaser would earn substantial profits from the commissions generated when members of the public used the purchasers’ Internet kiosk and from national advertisements placed on the kiosks once a certain base number of units were in operation. See Justice Department Press Release, 11/5/07, regarding this and other related cases.
