Mike Lindell loses $5 million

[Rebound]

“Mike Lindell, the MyPillow founder and Trump ally who has been a leading voice in pushing conspiracy theories about the 2020 presidential election, must pay $5 million to a software forensics expert who debunked a series of false claims as part of a “Prove Mike Wrong” contest, an arbitration panel said on Wednesday.

Mr. Lindell had issued the challenge at a “cyber symposium” in South Dakota in 2021, saying he had data that would support his claims that there was Chinese interference in the election and offering the seven-figure prize to anyone who could prove the data had no connection to the 2020 election.

And because the software expert, Robert Zeidman, successfully did so, Mr. Lindell would have to pay up, ordered the panel, which was composed of three members of the American Arbitration Association.”

That doesn't surprise me, but I have some questions:

• Have any of you in America ever bought his product? Is it any good?

It must be some quality, is the only reason someone like this one is still relevant: 

I have not bought his stupid pillow.  
When he started claiming the election was stolen and began peddling outright lies, I wrote to Bed Bath & Beyond, a popular store chain down here, and told them I would no longer shop there if they carried his pillows.  I understand that Republicans own lots of businesses and I don’t boycott because somebody is a Republican, but this guy was trying to illegally overturn elections. 
Bed Bath & Beyond announced they were no longer going to carry his pillows.

I would never pay $50 for a pillow no matter how "good" it is.

So you are the reason they filed for bankruptcy.

B,B and B were selling them in Canada as well. There were also a lot of adds on some local radio stations. All gone now. Not a pillow or peep to be found.

I thought the slippers looked pretty good. Wouldn't mind to try on a pair. They were pricey. But hey, you pay more for the good stuff.

Meanwhile you people can sell out your country to buy cheap pillows stuffed with chinesium. Enjoy the asbestos and formaldehyde.

Because that’s the only option?  Yeah, right. It’s so complicated to make a pillow.

Mike Lindell’s $5 million contest winner takes him to federal court

Quote

A Nevada computer scientist has gone to federal court to pursue the $5 million prize he is owed by MyPillow chief executive Mike Lindell following a ruling by private arbitrators last month.

The arbitrators found that Robert Zeidman deserved the money because he had successfully challenged data related to Lindell’s false claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen — and had thus won a contest Lindell had dubbed: "Prove Mike Wrong.” 

So Lindell is both a conman and a LIAR.

He was a Trump supporter.  Those are prerequisites.

I was on the road in 2021 with my kids. The only terrestrial radio option north of Winnemucca, NV was some christian radio. They were covering this "symposium". I was laughing so hard that I had to pull over. Listening to the commentators fumble over themselves as this event kept getting delayed was simply awesome
