John and Margaret Vivian declared themselves bankrupt in 1992, so they weren’t happy when NationsBank sent them a notice of debt that was already canceled. The bank apologized, saying that the message sent a computer, but the spouses received a second notice, and then a third one.
As a result, bankruptcy judge A. Jay Cristol, accused the computer of contempt of court and SECRETED him to public censure and a fine of 50 MB HDD and 10 MB of RAM. A computer can restore its position in society if it stops producing and sending notifications to the Vivian family.
