Per Tom's Hardware, Effingham County, Georgia residents are suing OpenAI and county officials under Georgia's racketeering (RICO) law — seeking triple damages plus fraud and conspiracy claims — over the $30B, 3.2-gigawatt 'Project Camellia' data center. The suit alleges the development authority's chief signed an NDA with OpenAI in October 2025, 9 months before public announcement; the deal was approved under the agenda item 'Project Gateway'; and commissioners skipped 2 required hearings when changing industrial zoning.
