Rocco DiBenedetto, owner and creator of the nonprofit, filed his 242-page lawsuit in Miami-Dade Circuit Court in November. He claimed that the defendants’ acts are “unfair and a deceptive practice…[and is] destroying our market,” and he asked that the companies be shut down, according to the Miami Herald.

“We have absolutely no enforcement, it’s the wild, wild West,” DiBenedetto said in his lawsuit. [Miami Herald] — Kristina Puga
