'Reverse Hacker' Case Gets Costlier for Sandia Labs

Jaikumar Vijayan writes on ComputerWorld:

A wrongful termination lawsuit against Sandia National Laboratories that resulted in a jury award of more than $4.7 million in damages to Shawn Carpenter, a former security analyst at the organization, may be getting even more costly for the labs.

A district court judge in the state of New Mexico where the case was heard recently awarded a 15% per year post-judgment interest on the original award as allowed under state law. The amended final judgment means that interest in the amount of almost $60,000 per month is accumulating while Sandia's appeal against the jury award works it way through the courts.
