The report describes the filing as a motion to dismiss in the investor-fraud action, rather than a merits determination on the fraud allegations. A public order confirms that the court held a hearing in the SDNY matter on October 21, 2025, but the available order addresses discovery deadlines rather than imposing a citation-specific monetary sanction.
