Mike Lindell officially loses all his lawyers in $5M 'Prove Mike Wrong' cyber challenge
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has been officially notified that he no longer has legal representation in a case in which he was ordered to pay over $5 million for a security contest related to the 2020 presidential election.Engineer Robert Zeidman entered the "Prove Mike Wrong" challenge and proved that...
I have no idea why this man is in the American news cycle so much. I guess "talks a lot of bollocks" is enough these days.
He always looks like he should be dictator of a small South American country. Not a real one, obviously, they'd decorate the nearest tree with him, but the sort of dictator who ends up there through a series of zany mishaps in the kind of shit sitcom that Paramount+ might greenlight. With a really uninspired title as well, like El Presidente.
Sorry, but a shithead losing support doesn't qualify as news.
this is unfair exploitation of mental illness.
Mike Lindell is an American hero with a story of success, making a great pillow everyone loved and making himself wealthy in the process
his religious delusions are a form of either mental illness or partial handicap and he shouldn't be stripped of everything because of that
his belief that the election was rigged AND he had the secret proof (that would hold up to court scrutiny) was clearly a religious delusion and if you think otherwise you don't understand how cults and mental illnesses intertwine
in a just world, this deal should be something he doesn't have to honor because he offered this "prove me wrong" thing to the public when he was clearly out of it
what about all the people he employed? the people he made happy with a decent pillow? we as a society have failed by allowing the religiously delusional to enter into any sort of unusual contracts at all. yes, the amish should be allowed to sell grain and the menonites should be allowed to sell delicious jams, but should we really allow right wing religious maniacs to enter into complex contracts?
no, of course not
this man should be given ALL his money back, and an apology from society for exploiting him. this man worked hard in life and doesn't deserve this
man i just spent like an hour in the bathtub reading further into this and belly laughing
i will say though that i think the guy who sold mike lindell the 'data' that he's referring to in the challenge might actually be a genius lol. this is apparently the third or fourth time he's identified someone who needs some kind of technological hail mary and then he just shows up and is like "i have.. the data". he sold proof that obama faked his birth certificate and also sold a bunch of completely bogus software to the pentagon during the post-9/11 defense industry boom such as software that "decodes" al jazeera broadcasts into secret al qaeda messages. an employee of his testified that he doesn't even have an IDE installed on his computer. he's literally made tens of millions of dollars off of this grift and despite being basically constantly legally embattled for the past 20 years has apparently not suffered any consequences. i wish him a long and successful career being the smartest dumb guy in the room
mike lindell actually comes away from this looking almost sympathetic because he is so, so clearly a moron whose conception of data is like, a PS1-era spinning icon of a CD-ROM. it's very hard for me to guess whether or not he was acting in good faith: on the one hand, the logical thing to do with proof of election tampering is not 'announce a five million dollar challenge for someone to prove that i don't have it', but on the other hand, it doesn't make any fucking sense to do that if you don't think you have proof either. either way i would love to know how much money he paid for it (by the way, the data is: a text file with a list of IP addresses in mainland china, a PDF with a 'graphic depiction of voting machines', and many terabytes of gibberish binary files timestamped to several days before the challenge was set up). look at this quote the guy is literally zoolander stupid
“I said, ‘Wow!’ This would absolutely explain what I couldn’t explain!” Lindell recalled in an interview. “It was done with computers! I knew that was the only explanation."
Ya'll should watch some of his 'broadcasts'.
Not, like, the whole things.
Tommy Campbell's YT channel does basically recaps of the stupidest shit the stupid MAGA clowns do and... well Mr. Lindell features quite often.
Lindell is basically the most perfect stereotype for a loser idiot boomer that lucked his way into being a business owner, and he is of course astoundingly technically incompetent.
There are at this point running gags with a number of words that he seemingly is incapable of pronouncing correctly, the guy produces moron clips at such a rate Im surprised he isnt a number of widely used meme formats.
We need more of these feel good stories. That put a smile on my face.
Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
“I think he’s the single greatest purchaser of advertising I’ve ever seen.
I said, Mike, I don’t care how many pillows you sell, and now you’re selling slippers, and sheets, you’re selling everything. I said, I don’t care, you can’t afford that much advertising.”

Seems drugs were treating him better then Jesus is.
Stop giving stupid people air time.
