Cyber Ninjas found in contempt of court, hit with $50K in daily fines for not releasing public records
The firm hired by the Arizona Senate to conduct a review of the Maricopa County election was found in contempt of court Thursday and ordered to pay sanctions of $50,000 a day until it turns over public records from the review to The Arizona Republic.
The Republic sued Cyber Ninjas and the Senate in June for records and, after months of litigation, asked for sanctions against the company of $1,000 a day. Maricopa Superior Court Judge John Hannah ruled that the company’s noncompliance was worth 50 times that amount.
