The Delaware Department of Justice announced late Tuesday that four limited liability companies linked to classified advertising website Backpage.com have agreed to relinquish their certificates of formation, nearly seven months after the Attorney General’s Office sued to shut them down in the wake of a sex trafficking conspiracy.

The DOJ said in a statement that the LLCs, Backpage.com, Website Technologies, Posting Solutions and Amstel River Holdings, would lose their certificates of formation under a consent judgment, issued Tuesday by the Delaware Court of Chancery.
