In civil cases, “the Fifth Amendment does not forbid adverse inferences against parties to civil actions when they refuse to testify in response to probative evidence offered against them.” (Baxter v. Palmigiano (1976) 425 U.S. 308, 318.)
In civil trials out didn’t work like that. If they can at all prove you knew or should have known the answer you can catch contempt.

Yes, that doesn’t at all change what I’ve said.
