"$5 Million Contest Winner Takes MyPillow CEO to Federal Court for Payment"

A computer scientist, Robert Zeidman, has filed a petition in federal court to force MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell to pay him the $5 million prize he won in a contest Lindell had dubbed "Prove Mike Wrong." The arbitrators had ruled in Zeidman's favor, finding that he had successfully challenged data related to Lindell's false claims of election fraud. Lindell has not paid the prize money and has asked a state court in Minnesota to vacate the award. Zeidman's attorneys are asking a judge to confirm the legitimacy of the arbitrators' award and to enter a $5 million judgment against Lindell's firm.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell Ordered to Pay $5 Million for False Election Claims.

MyPillow founder and Trump ally, Mike Lindell, has been ordered by an arbitration panel to pay $5 million to software forensics expert Robert Zeidman, who debunked Lindell's false claims about Chinese interference in the 2020 presidential election as part of a "Prove Mike Wrong" contest. Lindell has vowed to challenge the ruling, questioning Zeidman's credentials and musing about how he was granted admission to the symposium. Zeidman plans to give some of the money to nonprofit groups, use part for a start-up business, and spend some supporting a voter integrity project.

Mike Lindell's $5M Election Fraud Bet Backfires

MyPillow founder Mike Lindell's firm has been ordered by a private arbitration panel to pay $5 million to Robert Zeidman, a computer forensics expert who was the only person to submit a claim to Lindell's "Prove Mike Wrong" challenge. Zeidman examined Lindell's data and concluded that it had no connection to the 2020 election and did not prove voter fraud. Lindell faces a $1.3 billion defamation suit from Dominion Voting Systems and a defamation lawsuit from one of Dominion’s former executives. Lindell said the decision was "terribly wrong" and that it would be going to court.

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.

Mike Lindell's MyPillow ordered to pay $5 million for false election challenge.

MyPillow founder Mike Lindell's firm has been ordered by a private arbitration panel to pay $5m to Robert Zeidman, a computer forensics expert who proved that Lindell's data did not prove voter fraud and had no connection to the 2020 US election. Zeidman was the only expert who submitted a claim after Lindell offered the "Prove Mike Wrong" challenge ahead of a "cyber symposium" he held in August 2021. Lindell said the decision was "terribly wrong" and would go to court. Lindell also faces a $1.3bn defamation suit from Dominion Voting Systems and a defamation lawsuit from one of Dominion's former executives.
