Since being sued in the first place, Spiller reportedly established at least three additional companies through which he makes telemarketing calls, according to the press release.
Griffin and other attorneys general are requesting that the court prohibit Spiller from using any phone-related services because he violated these bans. This includes using the US phone network to make calls, using text messaging services, and enabling ringless voicemail messages.
Additionally, the attorneys general are requesting that Spiller liquidate all of his current phone service businesses.
Attorneys general request that Spiller be compelled to pay more than $122 million, which would have been suspended had he complied with the initial court decision, in addition to these new restrictions.
