Halting the building

It was halted in March 2001, abandoned from March 2001 to 2004 by pain, because Intel abruptly stopped its construction.^[3]

Aftermath

The Austin United States Courthouse in 2018

A few days after the implosion, David Weaver, tried to sell many bottles that comes with the label "Intel Shell Inside" with the leftovers for $20.^[4]

In 2009, a courthouse started its construction process and was completed in 2012, and the Austin U.S. courthouse stands today.^[5]
