A federal judge in California is requiring a Seattle lawyer to pay $251,000 in attorney fees and nearly $17,000 in interest for filing a fake news story with a federal appeals court in San Francisco.
A Seattle lawyer is suggesting that a federal judge didn’t sign an order requiring him to pay more than $268,000 as a sanction for trying to file a fake “Saudi Sun” news article with a federal appeals court.
A lawyer accused of fabricating a news article from a fake publication called the Saudi Sun didn’t show up for a Friday hearing to consider whether he should be sanctioned.
