MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell ordered to pay $5 million for false election challenge
TL;DR
MyPillow founder Mike Lindell has been ordered by an arbitration panel to pay $5 million to software developer Robert Zeidman for losing his "Prove Mike Wrong" 2020 election challenge. Lindell had challenged experts to prove that data he had was not from the 2020 election. The contest took place in August 2021 at a cyber symposium that Lindell was hosting in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Lindell is also facing legal problems from Dominion Voting Systems, Eric Coomer, and Smartmatic for defamation over his election claims. Lindell maintains that his theories are factual and that he will be showing evidence of his election claims in the near future.
