What it means
A multidistrict litigation gathers separately filed federal cases before one judge for shared pretrial work such as discovery and expert rulings. Each case remains its own, and each plaintiff keeps their own claim.
The state suits are enforcement actions. Money a state recovers funds state programs; it does not compensate individual families.
Roblox denies the allegations. In Nevada’s consent judgment it “denies any wrongdoing and the allegations in the Complaint.”
