MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell Ordered to Pay $5 Million for False Election Claims.
TL;DR
MyPillow founder and Trump ally, Mike Lindell, has been ordered by an arbitration panel to pay $5 million to software forensics expert Robert Zeidman, who debunked Lindell's false claims about Chinese interference in the 2020 presidential election as part of a "Prove Mike Wrong" contest. Lindell has vowed to challenge the ruling, questioning Zeidman's credentials and musing about how he was granted admission to the symposium. Zeidman plans to give some of the money to nonprofit groups, use part for a start-up business, and spend some supporting a voter integrity project.
