  "account": "A federal judge dismissed several counts against Super Ego's Aleksandar Mimic, according to a decision in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The lawsuit, initially filed by drivers in 2022 with an amended complaint in 2025, saw Judge Martha Pacold toss out the dismissed counts without prejudice, allowing them to be filed in an amended form later. One count, Count II, was dismissed with prejudice, meaning it cannot be refiled. Judge Pacold dismissed Count II with prejudice to the extent it relied on an \"aiding and abetting theory.\" Settlement talks in the lawsuit reportedly made \"significant progress\" in the days leading up to the dismissal, with work remaining to reach a final resolution. The lawsuit, filed by drivers, alleged numerous illegal practices carried out by Super Ego and its affiliates, including breach of contract, violation of the Truth in Leasing Act, fraud, civil conspiracy, common law fraud, violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act, and an Illinois wage law.",
  "summary": "Super Ego chief Mimic won a small victory in a federal court but the lawsuit against the network is mostly unaffected. The post Super Ego’s Mimic notches win in court case; settlement coming? appeared first on FreightWaves .",
