Notable findings and disputes

1. verified fact Aterian acquired Squatty Potty's business and assets in May 2021 for approximately $19 million plus inventory and potential additional payments. The brand remains in commerce. [ B02-SQUAT-EXHIBIT, B02-SQUAT-NOW ]
2. verified fact The release distinguishes $19 million cash, approximately $1.1 million inventory, up to $4 million earnout and an additional $8 million transition-service arrangement. A shorthand headline should not erase those categories. [ B02-SQUAT-EXHIBIT ]
3. strong corroboration The current company statement disclaims continuing affiliation with Robert Edwards. This tracker makes no unresearched criminal-case assertion about an individual. [ B02-SQUAT-STATEMENT ]

What we could not verify

• Seller Delaware file number, standing and any post-sale dissolution/merger.
