Verizon Rebuffed by Supreme Court on $47 Million FCC Refund The US Supreme Court refused to let Verizon Communications Inc. try to recoup $47 million it paid after being accused of privacy violations by the Federal Communications Commission. The justices on Monday turned away Verizon’s request for an unusual tweak in a June 4 high court ruling so that the company could seek to recover the money.

Verizon Rebuffed by Supreme Court on $47 Million FCC Refund The US Supreme Court refused to let Verizon Communications Inc. try to recoup $47 million it paid after being accused of privacy violations by the Federal Communications Commission. The justices on Monday turned away Verizon’s request for an unusual tweak in a June 4 high court ruling so that the company could seek to recover the money. Verizon says it paid only because it was misled by the FCC’s characterization of the so-called forfeiture order at the center of the clash.
