I wonder what the punishment will be for not providing the passwords or decrypting the drives.

  Its contempt of court I believe- So indefinitely. http://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=8101209&page=1 http://abcnews.go.com/2020/story?id=8101209&page=1

    Reading between the lines, it seems to me like he was taking advantage of the free medical care in prison ("Meanwhile, the clock was ticking as Beatty Chadwick's health deteriorated. He has been treated for non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, which could recur at any time. "Here he is, 10 years, he knows he's not well," Bobbie told "Primetime.")

  Contempt of court probably, but raynier can say in details. Interesting thing will be what will happen if you are really unable to decrypt the stuff. If you store the keys away from the drives (lest say ram only server somewhere) that expires if it does not receive confirmation code every 24 hours. And the keys are lost forever this way.

    Would that still be contempt of court? Or destruction of evidence, or whatever. Couldn't it be argued that it's a purposeful destruction of evidence if once they know they are going to court they stop putting in the code to keep the data from being destroyed?
