The SEC's 3 August 2026 release describes a proposed Gotbit judgment filed on 28 July and a voluntary dismissal of its claims against Fedor Kedrov. The release makes approval conditional. The linked judgment document is labelled proposed and has an unsigned date line, so it is not treated here as an entered order.
