Notable findings and disputes

1. unresolved Wild Earth publicly announced a Chapter 11 case and its storefront remains visible, but the reviewed public evidence does not securely establish the post-bankruptcy ownership and legal status claimed in later reporting. [ B02-WILD-ANNOUNCE, B02-WILD-NOW, B02-WILD-DOCKET ]
2. strong corroboration The company acknowledges voluntary Chapter 11 and describes continuing operations; this supports bankruptcy history but not the exact terms of the later acquisition. [ B02-WILD-ANNOUNCE ]
3. verified fact Acquisition reporting predates the later August story, so the August publication day must not be used as an assumed closing date. [ B02-WILD-ACQ-EARLY, B02-WILD-ACQ-LATER ]

What we could not verify

• Original petition, sale/confirmation/dismissal order, transaction instruments and current debtor status.
• Current operator’s state number, license chain and standing.
• Original Shark pitch and executed investment closing details.
• Prior versions of announcement/story; founder absence on one current page is not proof of deletion.
• Public publication is withheld until the current legal status is independently resolved.
