Olson wrote that out of 55 television stations holding Bustamante contracts, only 12 agreed to refund payments if the air time could be resold. The potential funds, according to the filing, would total $177,035. Olson said it could be weeks before it is known how much money would be retrieved.
It would be most entertaining if he was hit with a contempt of court charge, but I sincerely doubt that the court would actually do so. A shame, since I'm pretty sure that there isn't a television station out there that would not comply with a court order to stop the advertising and return the money. Too many times in this state we've had companies go into bankruptcy during advertising campaigns and the stations comply with the court orders without argument.

The court won't do a damn thing. The only way to get action would be a massive viewer boycott of those stations and their sponsors. They don't understand ethics too well, but they all understand loss of profits.
