That was quick.

@Bruce54df do you resolve this market or does it resolve on the judge's decision?

@MickBransfield The Judge needs to find that gag order has been violated.

@MickBransfield The gag order apparently may not apply to attacks on the Judge and his family.

@Bruce54df I think you're right:

When does this close?

@Enlil Year end 2024

It would seem to be a foregone conclusion that he will violate the gag order. But will he suffer any consequences?

@SusanneinFrance Given that this is a criminal trial, the consequences could be more serious.

@Bruce54df Good to know thanks

@SusanneinFrance From Copilot: Sanctions for violating a gag order can indeed vary between criminal and civil cases. Generally, the consequences of such a violation are determined by the judge based on the specifics of the case and the nature of the violation.

In criminal cases, gag orders are often imposed to prevent prejudicing the trial, especially in high-profile cases. Violating a gag order in a criminal case can lead to contempt of court charges, which may include fines or even jail time12.

In civil litigation, gag orders may be used to protect confidential information like trade secrets. While the sanctions can also include fines and jail time, the focus is often on preventing financial harm or the disclosure of sensitive information1.

Regardless of the type of case, attorneys who violate gag orders can face serious professional consequences, including disciplinary proceedings and potentially being disbarred3. It’s important to note that gag orders must balance the need to protect the integrity of the legal process with First Amendment rights, and challenges can be made on constitutional grounds4
