MyPillow CEO ordered to pay $5 million for false election challenge.
TL;DR
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell's company has been ordered by an arbitration panel to pay $5 million to a software expert who proved that Lindell's election data claims were "all bogus." Lindell had offered the "Prove Mike Wrong" challenge in 2021, claiming that he had data showing China had interfered with the 2020 presidential election. The panel ruled that failure to pay the expert represented a breach of contract and that he was entitled to the money. Lindell plans to appeal the decision.
