I'm resolving to no. Reasoning:
CFPB has allocated $46M for victims. The Chapter 11 trustee places the shortfall in customer funds at a higher number, between $65M and $95M. Even if the funds are sufficient, consumers aren't yet made whole. e.g. California Yotta customers only just got the option to file for restitution in mid May: https://dfpi.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Notice-to-California-Yotta-Technologies-Inc.-Customers.pdf
There is some reporting that criminal investigations are ongoing, but as of today there are no charges filed anywhere that I can find.
