1. They have to pay for the attorney fees with a punitive multiplier, basically double. So instead of paying 40k they have to pay 80k for this case. Other cases will likely follow suite. 2. Judge Wright says he is referring Steele, Duffy, Hansmeier, and Gibbs to their respective state bars and federal bars. They can very well be debarred from practicing law, there will be a very thorough bar investigation. This is what lawyer's nightmare are made of. 3. He is referring the case to the U.S. Attorney's Office for RICO (Racketeer act) and the IRS. This is what Hells Angels/Mafia nightmares are made of. 4. All judges that have pending cases with these lawyers will be notified of the above (and most likely more). Worse case scenario: More attorney fee x2 (how many cases did they prosecute?) , debarred, send to jail for racketeering. tl;dr the Judge fined them 2x and then set 3 organizations you don't want to mess with on their asses, and told everyone about it.
