Teknek banned from doing business in US

On 18 April 2005 a Federal Court Order was entered in California, banning "Teknek Electronics and all those working in concert from engaging in any business whatever in the United States."  Teknek America, LLC continued to conduct business.

On June 2, the Federal Court of Illinois issued an order finding Sheila Hamilton, Jonathan Kennett, and Teknek America to be guilty of multiple violations of this order and were subsequently found in contempt of Court.
They were ordered to provide an accounting of all business activity, sales, and payments made since April 18th and pay it to SDI.  "Teknek America LLC is ordered to close its doors immediately" and "to advise all customers and distributors in writing" that they may not do further business in the United States until further notice."  If any individual is found in noncompliance, they are subject to possible "substantial civil contempt remedies," including the issue of a "warrant for the arrest of any individual found to be in contempt of this order."
