Mike Lindell Loses $5 Million Bet on Election Fraud Claims

A private arbitration panel has ruled that Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow, must pay $5m to computer forensics expert Robert Zeidman, who successfully showed that the internet traffic data Lindell claimed was evidence of Chinese interference in the 2020 presidential election had nothing to do with that election at all. Lindell had offered the prize as part of what he called the “Prove Mike Wrong” challenge. Lindell has claimed he will challenge the decision in court. Lindell is also facing a $1.3bn defamation lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems.
