Over $600,000 Returned to Two Amazon Sellers |

Last week, I convinced a federal judge in the Northern District of Illinois to unfreeze two seller’s Amazon accounts in a Schedule A lawsuit. My clients, Amazon merchants, had their accounts frozen for three months. For one store, the revenue for the allegedly infringing items sold was $18,519 while the frozen funds was $458,645. For the second store, the revenue for the allegedly infringing items was $68,014 while the frozen funds was $279,913. Northern District Court Matthew Kennelly agreed with my contentions that the asset restraint was overbroad and fundamentally flawed. This ruling is an important victory for Amazon merchants who cannot access their online accounts and the money that is rightfully theirs. The case number is 25-cv-1066.
