Page 104 of the January 2026 complaint reproduces a chat message labelled “Alon”, captioned 27 April 2024. The message says most low-cap tokens die, that the platform exposed more people to 'really really low odds', and that better discovery would leave people 'generally happier (even though most lose)'.
Judge McMahon denied the motions to dismiss the RICO counts brought by Carnahan and Okafor against Baton, Cohen, Kerler and Tweedale. She dismissed Aguilar's claims, all claims against the Solana defendants, the Securities Act counts and unjust enrichment. She held that the memecoin transactions alleged are not gambling under New York law.
