Judge Orders MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell to Pay $5 Million to Nevada Man in Election Data Dispute
MyPillow founder Mike Lindell must pay $5 million to a 64-year-old from Nevada who successfully disproved Lindell's claim of having data showing voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. A federal judge upheld a previous ruling from a private arbitration panel, stating that Lindell owes the payout plus interest to Robert Zeidman, a computer forensics expert who participated in Lindell's "Prove Mike Wrong" challenge. Lindell, a prominent election denier and supporter of former president Donald Trump, faces legal and financial troubles, including a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems over false election claims.
