| Netcapital Inc.source ↗ filed by The Rosen Law Firm, P.A. · No. 1:26-cv-14584 · 15:77 Securities Fraud · view case timeline → Comparable settlements $59.50M–$725M ▾Privacy/wiretap tracking-tech claims split sharply in comparables: Bayhealth and Gunnar Optiks survived pleading stage, while Tower Health's Meta Pixel claim and Nuance's BIPA claim were dismissed. Netcapital is a micro-cap fintech platform, making this factually closer to the Pixel/tracking-tech line of cases than to BIPA biometric suits. Comparable settlements $59.50M–$725M median $81.50M · n=10 Meta $725M · Google $425M · Google $135M Per member (realized): ~$29 median · $29–$29 (n=2) Comparable verdict: Google LLC $425.70M · Google LLC $425.65M Key precedent: Doe v. Bayhealth Medical Ctr. — confidentiality claim for tracking-tech disclosure survived MTD, showing viable theory against smaller, niche platforms like Netcapital. Main risk: Dismissal risk mirrors Tower Health/Santoro, where Pixel-based disclosure claims failed for lack of individualized harm or standing. Rough EV model (wide — class size is the big unknown, not a prediction): $34K–$980K No confirmed user/class figures for Netcapital; estimate relies on inferred scale from small-cap status, not verified class data. · grounded in 9 rulings, 10 settlements, 4 verdicts | Filing | Privacy & Wiretap | D.
