Lindell Must Pay $5M In “Prove Me Wrong” Challenge

The Associated Press reports:

A federal judge on Wednesday affirmed a $5 million arbitration award against MyPillow chief executive Mike Lindell in favor of a software engineer who challenged data that Lindell said proves China interfered in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Lindell, a prominent promoter of false claims that voting machines were manipulated to steal the 2020 election, launched his “Prove Mike Wrong Challenge,” as part of a “Cyber Symposium” he hosted in August 2021.

Lindell offered a $5 million reward through Lindell Management for anyone who could prove that “packet captures” and other data he released there were not valid data “from the November 2020 election.” Robert Zeidman entered the challenge with a 15-page report that concluded the data from Lindell don’t “contain packet data of any kind and do not contain any information related to the November 2020 election.”

Read the full article. Zeidman is a Trump supporter. Lindell says he will appeal and that Zeidman “won’t get a dime.” Lindell is facing separate 10-figure defamation lawsuits from Dominion and Smartmatic.

The MyPillow CEO offered to pay $5 million to anyone who could prove his data about the 2020 election were wrong.
