Cyber nimrods complain about paying fines for not releasing public documents which

they created using public funds. Sorry guys, shoulda read the fine print. You take public money, it is a public document.

The Cyber Ninjas group that conducted the widely-panned Arizona "audit" of the 2020 election complained to a judge about the soaring cost of fines that have been leveled against it after refusing to turn over what courts have repeatedly ruled are public documents.

"Cyber Ninjas doesn't want to pay $50,000-a-day fines imposed by a Maricopa County Superior Court judge for not turning over records from work it did for the Arizona Senate, and is asking the Arizona Supreme Court for help," The Arizona Republic reported Thursday. "Two superior court judges and the court of appeals determined the company's records from the controversial review of Maricopa County's 2020 election are public records under state law. But Cyber Ninjas continues to argue that just because it was working for the government doesn't mean the records are government documents."

The $50,000 a day fines now total more than $2 million.
