Trumpist true believer and spinner of conspiracies Mike "Pillow Guy" Lindell made a wager in 2021 that he'd pay $5 million to anyone who could disprove his false claims of voter fraud in 2020. Robert Zeidman did just that, and the Pillow Guy has been trying to avoid paying up. More embarrassing for Lindell, Zeidman voted for the Malignant Loser twice, so he was busted by his fellow cult member. The Washington Post covered the story:
"Lindell, a prominent election denier and staunch supporter of former president Donald Trump, claimed to have data showing Chinese interference in the 2020 race. If someone could “Prove Mike Wrong,” as the challenge was called, and show the data was unrelated to the election, they would get the payout, Lindell said ahead of an August 2021 “cyber symposium” held in South Dakota where contestants would review the files.
Robert Zeidman, a computer forensics expert who voted for Trump twice, did just that, a federal judge in Minnesota determined Wednesday, upholding a previous ruling from a private arbitration panel. Zeidman is owed the $5 million payout plus interest, Judge John Tunheim wrote in his Wednesday ruling. The decision is the latest development in a years-long effort to claim the prize, after Zeidman found that the data was not related to the 2020 election." (our emphasis)
Lindell's fanatic adoration for the Malignant Loser is pathological, having spent millions of his own dollars from his pillow company to chase the lie that the Malignant Loser was cheated out of the 2020 election. Like his cult leader, the Pillow Guy apparently prefers to duck out on his financial obligations and stall the judicial process. Last fall, however, he claimed that he'd run out of money to pay his lawyers, so he may not have the resources to continue, unless he can get the Malig....never mind.
