Not necessarily. More likely they’re shutting down so the owners can run off with the millions they got from Trump supporters.
It’s all about the grift.
Here’s as much backstory on The Arizona Republic suit as I can find: Arizona court rejects another Cyber Ninjas request to keep audit records secret
Looks like the only proper news source for Arizona, AZ Central, is paywalled and none of the East Coast companies can be bothered to send reporters West of the Mississippi.
The judge noted that Cyber Ninja personnel might be held personally and individually liable.
/irrelevant nitpick/ I’d change bolded to “afford”. /i.n./
ETA: Scratching head over how some links work with some folks but not others.
Yeah, judge Hannah isn’t dicking around. Disbanding their company isn’t going to cut it. Imposing a fine that was fifty times more than requested, and explicitly stating that he wasn’t going to accept that Cyber Ninjas was a “empty shell” with “no one responsible”? He’s going to get those documents or heads are going to roll.
Here’s some news:
That’s sure to work - but only if they wear Groucho glasses.
You think they got paid? The would-be grifters got grifted themselves and are millions in debt. It’s grifts all the way down!
I thought the company got about $6m in donations from the Trump rubes?
Yeah, which they spent and then some. The donations dried up last summer when it became clear they weren’t getting anywhere.
Great Trump supporters. Not so great at this business thing. Or at grifting. Actually, one wonders if they’re competent at anything.
Chalk it up as another example of something that turned to shit and fucking died as a result of proximity to Trump.
I keep expecting people who love Trump to learn.
For some reason, they never do.
It’s lovely to watch, isn’t it?
This time, for sure!
It’s like watching a horror movie but the protagonist and antagonist are the same person and everyone else in the movie is just an idiot who goes off on their own to die gruesomely.
It’s lovely at first until you realize there’s no end in sight. No matter how many times Trump throws one of his former supporters under the bus or proponents of a stolen election theory fail to offer evidence there are always some else to take up the former president’s cause. Enjoying their failure is just not satisfying at this point.
I meant in the immediate, temporary sense. Like looking up at night and happening to see a shooting star. Lovely. Just with more predictability.
Looks like the jaguars are munching on another few faces.
Leopards, please.
But after awhile, even shooting stars get boring, and you start wishing for a comet or random Chinese boosters or the Death Star to show up. Something shiny.
