1. Dismissed (Voluntary)Twitter, Inc. v. Elon R. Musk, X Holdings I, Inc., and X Holdings II, Inc.
   Court of Chancery of Delaware  Case No. 2022-0613-KSJM

   AITwitter, Inc. filed this lawsuit in July 2022 in the Delaware Court of Chancery after Elon Musk attempted to back out of his agreement to acquire the company for approximately $44 billion — $54.20 per share. Musk had signed a merger agreement in April 2022 and then, less than three months later, purported to terminate the deal, citing what he claimed were material misrepresentations by Twitter about the number of spam and bot accounts on its platform. Twitter sought specific performance — a court order compelling Musk to complete the acquisition at the agreed price — rather than money damages. Chancellor Kathaleen St. Jude McCormick agreed to expedite the case to an October 2022 trial date, a timeline Musk vigorously resisted. The litigation moved rapidly through discovery, during which Musk sought extensive information about Twitter's bot-counting methodology and Twitter sought sanctions against Musk for alleged discovery misconduct. A whistleblower complaint from a former Twitter security executive, Peiter Zatko, injected additional complexity into the proceedings by raising questions about Twitter's internal security practices. With trial imminent and the litigation going poorly for Musk, he reversed course in October 2022 and agreed to proceed with the original deal on its original terms. The parties jointly sought a stay of the litigation, and the case was voluntarily dismissed after the acquisition closed. Musk took Twitter private, subsequently rebranding the company and its platform as X. Several related proceedings, including a petition by PlainSite founder Aaron Greenspan seeking public access to sealed court materials, were also part of the docket.

   AIIrving H. Picard, the trustee for the SIPA liquidation of Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC, filed this sprawling adversary proceeding in May 2009 in the Southern District of New York Bankruptcy Court before Judge Burton Lifland, seeking to recover billions of dollars in fraudulent transfers made to Fairfield Greenwich Limited and its affiliated entities including Fairfield Sentry, Greenwich Sentry, and Fairfield Sigma. Fairfield Greenwich had been the largest feeder fund into the Madoff Ponzi scheme, investing approximately $7 billion with Madoff on behalf of its clients. The proceeding consolidated claims against hundreds of subsequent transferees from Fairfield Greenwich, including major international banks and financial institutions such as UBS, HSBC, ABN AMRO, Citibank, Deutsche Bank, BNP Paribas, Merrill Lynch, and scores of Swiss, Austrian, and Cayman Island funds and feeder vehicles. The trustee also asserted claims against Fairfield Greenwich principals Walter Noel, Jeffrey Tucker, and Andres Piedrahita, alleging they knew or should have known of the fraud. The proceeding encompasses what is likely the largest fraudulent transfer litigation in U.S. history.

4. Dismissed (Settled)IN RE: Petrobras Securities Litigation
   New York Southern District Court  Case No. 1:14-cv-09662

   BriberyClass ActionCorporate FraudForeign IssuerLatin AmericaMDLPetrobrasSecurities Fraud

   AIThis multidistrict securities fraud class action was consolidated in the Southern District of New York alleging that Petróleo Brasileiro S.A. (Petrobras), the Brazilian state oil company, and its officers made materially false and misleading statements to investors about the company's financial condition, concealing a massive corruption scheme in which Petrobras executives accepted billions of dollars in bribes from construction companies in exchange for inflated contracts. The scheme was uncovered by Brazilian prosecutors in Operation Car Wash (Lava Jato). The case was the largest securities class action ever certified against a foreign issuer. Petrobras ultimately agreed to pay $2.95 billion to settle the American class action in January 2018 — at the time the second largest securities class action settlement in history. The settlement was approved, and the case was dismissed.

    AIPengcheng Si filed a putative securities class action in the District of Columbia in August 2022 against Bed Bath & Beyond Corporation, Ryan Cohen, his investment vehicle RC Ventures LLC, and JP Morgan Securities LLC. The complaint alleged that Cohen, the founder of Chewy Inc. and later chairman of GameStop, acquired a significant stake in Bed Bath & Beyond in early 2022, publicly advocated for changes to the struggling retailer's strategy, drove the stock price sharply upward, and then abruptly sold his entire stake in August 2022 at a substantial profit while retail investors suffered large losses on the subsequent price collapse. Judge Trevor N. McFadden presided. After competing motions to appoint lead plaintiff, the court in November 2022 appointed Bratya SPRL as lead plaintiff over other movants because it satisfied the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act requirements and was unopposed. Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll served as lead counsel. An amended complaint was filed in November 2022 adding additional detail about the alleged scheme under Sections 9 and 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5. The case proceeded through class certification briefing in 2024, with the court issuing a memorandum opinion and order on September 27, 2024. A stipulation of dismissal was filed on May 6, 2025, indicating settlement, following Ryan Cohen's agreement to pay $2.9 million to resolve the class claims without admitting wrongdoing.
