Status and outcome updates

Every one of the 108 tracked docket records was re-checked against a live court source, working from the most recently filed case backwards. Eight cases changed. In Tufano v. Based Bodyworks (M.D. Pa.) a magistrate judge issued a report and recommendation on August 24, 2026 recommending that the…

Re-checking a record is not the same as finding something in it. This pass confirmed that seventy-one cases had not moved, and it recorded twenty-eight where no public source could confirm anything…

New case discovery

A federal action filed in the Middle District of Pennsylvania on September 17, 2026 -- Tufano v. Harding et al, 3:26-cv-02715 -- was added to the tracker as C108 on the day it was filed. It names seven defendants: Erik Harding, Lance Baker, Kareem Shami, Atrakt, Based Bodyworks, Bytedance Ltd and…

The fifteen videos published on the tracked YouTube channel between September 10 and September 16, 2026 were transcribed and archived, and the nine of them carrying a researched quote were added to the statement record: nine video records (YT626-YT634) and thirty-one statements (VS1701-VS1731),…

Case status research

C083, Tufano v. Carbondale Police Department et al (M.D. Pa. 3:26-cv-02137), was recorded here with four defendants. An amended complaint docketed August 24, 2026 added seven more — JPMorgan Chase Bank, American Express, Capital One, Citibank NA, Bank of America, Wells Fargo Bank NA and Discover —…

No complaint in any of these four cases has been read — none of the documents is available without a paid PACER account — so the added defendants are recorded as parties named on the court’s docket…
