"Judge Orders MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell to Pay $5 Million to 'Prove Mike Wrong Challenge' Winner"

A federal judge has ordered MyPillow founder Mike Lindell to pay $5 million to a man who won his "Prove Mike Wrong" 2020 election challenge. Lindell plans to appeal the decision, but the plaintiff's attorney says Lindell will have to pay up in the meantime. The plaintiff, a software developer and Trump supporter, attended a cyber symposium hosted by Lindell and entered the contest to access data that Lindell claimed could overturn the election. Despite Lindell's claims of financial hardship, the judge affirmed the arbitration award, stating that the court's review of an arbitration award is very limited. Lindell has also expressed financial struggles in defending defamation lawsuits brought by voting machine companies.
