Default Judgement Made Against GAW Miners, Josh Garza MIA

A court has issued a default ruling in favor of the Mississippi Power Company (MPC) in its lawsuit against defunct GAW Miners.

One year ago, GAW, led by CEO Josh Garza, burst onto the crypto scene with a series of major announcements, including very cheap miners (Hashlets) and multimillion dollar acquisitions (BTC.com) and mergers (ZenMiner). The company dubbed itself as GAW ("Geniuses at Work"), coincidentally the same abbreviation as Garza's other venture, Great Auk Wireless.

Per Finance Magnates predictions, the operation collapsed earlier this year. GAW is being sued by two former customers in Connecticut, as well as MPC for unpaid electricity bills. The company and Garza have been a no-show in both cases.

The United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi, Eastern Division has now issued a Judgement by Default against GAW, obligating the company to pay $346,647.29 plus interest and court fees. MPC will be taking action to collect what it is owed.
