    Eat shit Lindell. Sell some more pillows if you can. All you had to do was quietly be a millionaire selling cheap garbage pillows to idiots, but noooo you thought you could have an influence on a national scale and overthrow an election. Turns out you were wrong.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    Federal Judge orders MyPillow founder, Mike Lindell, to pay $5 million within 30 days for losing an election challenge. Lindell, known for denying the 2020 election results, had hosted a contest to prove his claims but lost. Despite Lindell’s intention to appeal, he must pay up immediately. Lindell claims financial hardship, stating his company organized the event, not him personally, and he has minimal assets. The dispute arose when Lindell failed to provide promised evidence, leading to arbitration. While the judge expressed concerns about the arbitration panel’s interpretation, he upheld the decision. Lindell’s financial struggles extend beyond this case, including defamation lawsuits that drained his resources.

    Why do all these genius millionaires/billionaires suddenly have no money when it comes to paying their court ordered punishments?

      You don’t get to hoard unreasonable amounts of wealth by being someone who pays others what they are due.

    He said while his pillow company is “doing fine,” “I don’t have any money.” “I have a pickup truck and a house that I live in. That’s it,” he said.

    Bullshit. It’s always funny to me what drama queens fairly well off people become when they experience the slightest financial setback.

      If it makes you feel any better, with these rulings against him I’m pretty sure he’ll soon be living in a pickup truck down by the river.
