Rumors that flew around the Net at the end of October 1996 that Cyber Promotions was on the verge of bankruptcy turned out to be just wishful thinking. In early 1997, Cyber Promotions' Web site advertised the usual services plus address collection software for the World-Wide Web ($495) and domain redirection ($300 a year). However, in July 1997 the word came that Canter had been disbarred by the Tennessee Bar Association, in part because of the Green Card spam.
