Arbitrator: "Pay up, My Pillow Guy!"
-
My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell has been ordered to shell out $5 million to an expert who debunked his data related to the 2020 election, according to a decision by the arbitration panel obtained by CNN.
Lindell, a purveyor of election conspiracies, vowed to award the multimillion-dollar sum to any cyber security expert who could disprove his data. An arbitration panel awarded Robert Zeidman, who has decades in software development experience, a $5 million payout on Wednesday after he sued Lindell over the sum.
CNN has obtained arbitration documents and video depositions, including a deposition of Lindell, related to the dispute.
“Based on the foregoing analysis, Mr. Zeidman performed under the contract,” the arbitration panel wrote in its decision. “He proved the data Lindell LLC provided, and represented reflected information from the November 2020 election, unequivocally did not reflect November 2020 election data. Failure to pay Mr. Zeidman the $5 million prized was a breach of the contract, entitling him to recover.”
The decision marks yet another blow to the MyPillow CEO’s credibility after he publicly touted unproven claims of widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential election. Lindell has also faced defamation suits related to his election claims.
“The lawsuit and verdict mark another important moment in the ongoing proof that the 2020 election was legal and valid, and the role of cybersecurity in ensuring that integrity,” said Brian Glasser, founder of Bailey & Glasser, LLP, who represented Zeidman. “Lindell’s claim to have 2020 election data has been definitively disproved.”

The arbitrator gave Lindell 30 days to pay but Lindell has yet to pay. So the contest winner is taking Lindell to federal court -- in Minnesota.

Well, Lindell is worth maybe several hundred millions, so he could afford to pay.
Although I have not followed the history of his bet so maybe there's more to it all than I realize, it does seem like a stupid thing to do.
Make up a bet to prove a point, and then lose having it backfire?
Stupid move.
Now go cry in your pillow. -

My wife bought one for each of us a few years ago. They weren’t “The Last Pillows You’ll Ever Buy”…

On our first trip to New Orleans, we stayed at the Ritz Carlton. Mrs. George fall in love with the pillows. They are available for purchase and they became a Christmas gift for her that year.
THey're great.

"MyPillow is auctioning off hundreds of pieces of equipment and subleasing manufacturing space after several shopping networks and major retailers took the company's products off shelves.
The Chaska-based manufacturer recently listed more than 850 "surplus equipment" items on the online auction site K-Bid. Sewing machines, industrial fabric spreaders, forklifts and even desks and chairs are up for auction.
Founder and CEO Mike Lindell said MyPillow has experienced a loss in revenue and the items are no longer needed as the company consolidates its operations."
