Notable findings and disputes

1. unresolved Federal records establish the FTC enforcement action and refunds, but the reviewed sources do not establish Breathometer's current legal standing or a sufficiently sourced closure date. [ B02-BREATH-CASE, B02-BREATH-PRESS ]
2. verified fact Accuracy and marketing accusations are agency allegations; the stipulation does not admit or deny them except jurisdictional facts. [ B02-BREATH-ORDER ]
3. verified fact The retrieved stipulated document is docket attachment 4-1. Its filing date should not be silently converted into a judge’s order-entry date. [ B02-BREATH-ORDER ]

What we could not verify

• Current company operations, later products, exact legal standing and any successor.
• Judicial entry and subsequent compliance docket; no bankruptcy conclusion is drawn.
• Complete pitch and executed investment terms.
• The current domain retrieval was tool-blocked; this is not evidence of a dead website.
• Public publication is withheld until the current legal status is independently resolved.
