This default entry is a minor procedural step with no quantifiable financial exposure for Meta. Monitor whether Meta later moves for default judgment and seeks a damages award against Judang, but the amounts at issue are likely small relative to Meta's $1.5T market cap. No trade action warranted.

Executive Summary
The court entered default against defendant Judang Team LLC for failing to obtain substitute counsel after its attorney withdrew, granting Meta a procedural win in its advertising fraud lawsuit. This is a routine procedural ruling with no material financial impact on Meta.
Court Ruling Details
Key Facts
- Meta sued Judang Team LLC and others alleging a deceptive advertising scheme and improperly obtained advertising credit lines on Meta's platforms.
- Judang's counsel withdrew on January 20, 2026; the court ordered the corporate defendant to obtain new counsel by February 19, 2026, warning of default judgment for noncompliance.
- Judang failed to appear through new counsel by the deadline, while the other three defendants (Perfeos LLC, Jot & Journeys, Antonio Jose Liévano) timely filed an answer.
- On February 20, 2026, the court ordered the Clerk to enter default against Judang under Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(a).
- This ruling is an interlocutory procedural order — no damages awarded, no injunction, and no financial exposure figure appears in the opinion.
Financial Impact
No damages, financial figures, or business impact stated in the opinion.
Risk Factors
- Default judgment could eventually lead to a small damages award, but the amount is not stated and is likely immaterial for a mega-cap company.
- Ruling does not affect the other three defendants who have answered the complaint — the case against them continues.
