Susan Illston, the federal judge, stated Mr. Yu engaged in 'serious, bad faith conduct' that abused the judicial process, thereby questioning the integrity of the case.
The judge highlighted, 'Mr. Yu seemed to have fabricated an anonymous declaration,' indicating a significant breach of legal conduct that contributed to the dismissal of his claims.
Illston emphasized that Yu's actions had 'caused delay, required additional motion practice, and vexatiously multiplied these proceedings,' reflecting the impact of his misconduct on the judicial process.
ByteDance argued that Mr. Yu's claims were 'baseless,' with the legal outcome reinforcing their position during ongoing debates about TikTok's security concerns.
