• Discovery Deadlines and Case Management Order.  The Case Management Order (ECF 
No. 161), as most recently amended following the Reserve Bank’s motion filed on June 2, 
2025 and this Court’s order granting such motion (ECF Nos. 256, 257), required the Parties 
to complete document discovery, excluding depositions and document requests arising 
from Defendants’ compliance with their obligation to produce QuickBooks data, by June 
27, 2025. The Parties continue discuss the need for further amendment to the Case 
Management Order. 
 
• QuickBooks Data.  As more fully described in the July Status Report, Defendants still 
have not complied with the Court’s May 21, 2025 order (ECF No. 245) to produce 
QuickBooks data. The Reserve Bank continues to have concerns regarding Defendants’ 
ongoing failure to comply with the twice-extended deadline to produce, which the Parties 
continue to discuss.  
 
• Outstanding Document Requests.  The Parties continue to meet and confer to discuss 
outstanding discovery requests, as more fully described in the July Status Report.
