Judge Blocks Deceptive Warranty Scheme | Pierre News

A South Dakota judge has slapped a permanent injunction on Jack Yedid, the former owner of Patriot Warranty, after his company allegedly trapped out-of-state customers in uncancelable contracts, demanded notarized documents to exit, and vanished with promised refunds. With no response to legal action, Yedid now faces over $34,000 in civil penalties and attorney fees — money earmarked to repay victims and fund future consumer protections. His company’s parent firm was already dissolved for neglect, yet Patriot Warranty kept running, while a co-owner already paid restitution and agreed to a state ban. This ruling sends a clear message: deceptive business practices won’t be tolerated. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
