Election denier and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell continues to refuse to pay more than $50,000 in sanctions he has been ordered to pay to voting software company Smartmatic over "frivolous" election claims. "I'm in ruins," a teary Lindell said through a Zoom screen in a motion hearing in the U.S. District Court in Washington on Wednesday, pleading to Judge Carl Nichols to allow him to wait until after the final judgement comes out to make any payment in the case, which he has already lost. Last month, Smartmatic filed a motion to hold Lindell in contempt, alleging the MyPillow CEO has been dodging his court-ordered payment of $56,369 to Smartmatic for months. Lindell, however, insisted that he does not have the means to pay the amount due to various financial difficulties he has suffered due to what he again claimed was "lawfare" waged against him for trying to "secure the election." "I borrowed everything I can. Nobody will lend me any money anymore," Lindell claimed. "I can't turn back time ... but I will tell you, I don't have any money." Lindell claimed he was recently forced to lay off hundreds of MyPillow employees, lost multiple MyPillow warehouse units over the past two years and even owes millions of dollars to the IRS for what he described as a COVID-era employee retention credit. He claimed he has "nothing" except for two houses, which he claimed are in the process of being liquidated, and a truck. He even claimed he can no longer adhere to a previously proposed plan of making monthly installments of $5,000. After listening through Lindell's plight, Nichols acknowledged that these claims are "non-verifiable representation" at the moment and gave Lindell until Friday to file under seal financial statements and other documents to prove his claims.

And not to have even $50,000 today! Very sad.
I bought some pillows and sheets from MyPillow last year. They are good stuff for the price. Is his business really going under?
And with attorney’s fees being what they are, you’d think he’d pay the 50k and be done with it.
The charges were NOT frivolous. They were spot on.
Did he lose to Smartmatic on the merits? That he stated slanderous things knowing they were false?
To Hell with ABC News. I quit reading at “election denier”. They are election fraud deniers, the Steal of 2020 was real.
The charges were NOT frivolous. They were spot on.
Exactly!
He has lost everything because of these vicious hounds, all because he loves America and the sanctity of our most sacred right....honest elections.
God bless Mike Lindell.
I wish someone lilke Elon could prove him right and right this terrible wrong.
That’s why they’re trying to destroy him.
/Satans playbook never changes
Evil bastards. Lindel was correct in his assessment. It was done on behalf of Trump. I cannot understand why Trump doesn’t make him whole and take care of this for him. It would be pocket change
If I had the wherewithal, I’d put together a Gofundme type of page. If people could raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for a guy who stabs a person to death, how is it not possible to help Lindell out.
I think there were insiders on Trump’s election teams that were deliberately misleading the principals. The Kracken? Haspel in Germany fighting a SWAT team? “Absolute Proof” of hacking? How did it get that bad?
He behavior during that period screamed, “dry drunk.”
I am empathetic to his position and I hope the court s sympathetic. But as they say in the movies….”Don’t go full r-tard.”
They have proof. The courts have consistently NOT let the defense present them.
Right....I pray maybe DOGE can present all.
>> Election denier
FU, Kim
Its gotta be Elon because we all know dmaned well Bomdi would never do it...
Or this from Ruby Giuliani, I think around the 20th of December: “It’s going to come out, all at once. Right after Christmas.” a whole lot of overpromising and in delivering took place
I love his sheet sets they are on every bed in my house. They make excellent housewarming gifts. Everyone loves fresh new sheets
IMHO, Lindell’s only fault is focusing so much on the internet connectivity angle. He should have focused more on provable things like the weighted race feature built into Dominion’s software (which they advertise for things like if members of a condo vote and you want members who own more property to have more weight).
Stocking up on sheets. His bed topper is on the mail already.
I hope Mike will overcome this injustice.
