The company was found in contempt of court on Thursday, after refusing to release records related to the election audit.
Cyber Ninjas spokesman Rod Thomson confirmed that all employees, including CEO Doug Logan, have been let go. He added that the audit resulted in $2 million in debt and that"endless legal and character attacks on the company by those who opposed the audit make it untenable moving forward.
"Post-election audits build trust and promote election integrity when they have bipartisan oversight and are conducted by experienced, unbiased professionals who use well-defined, proven processes to provide quantifiable, reproducible proof," the Maricopa County Elections Department wrote."Unfortunately, the Senate's election review and its contractors fell far short of those standards and instead promoted disinformation and distrust.
Cyber Ninjas has been in Maricopa Superior Court over the release of records to the Arizona Republic regarding the audit. On August 24, Maricopa Superior Court Judge John Hannah ordered the release of documents and communications by Cyber Ninjas to the Arizona Republic. The firm has fought against the release of documents and repeated calls by Phoenix Newspapers Inc., the parent company of the Arizona Republic, that Cyber Ninjas be found in contempt of court.Trending News
