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.

What were the charges?
Yeah that statement confused me as well.
“Tina Peters was locked in a Colorado prison for saving evidence of the crime.”
Tina IS locked in a prison because she saved evidence — as their Election Code mandates.
I am sad; I had no idea he was this bad off. I still see him selling product. I bought all I need from him over the years and don’t need to buy more. Maybe making a donation instead would help.
I pretty much agree with you, here is my test for Democratic cheating.
If you are opposed to showing a Valid ID to vote.
If you are opposed to only US citizens voting.
If you can’t count your votes in 24-36 hours.
If you support Universal mail in voting.
If one of those things is true, then you are cheating.
Arizona is a prime example, 50,000 invalid votes in any close election can easily overthrow the outcome of the election and the voting machines could 100% accurate in their counting.
If you find out where to make a donation, let me know. Maybe someone could start a GiveSendGo site.
I believe you got RuRuDyne’s comments bassakwards.
Thanks for that oversight correction, FNS ... you’re right....I read his/her post too fast.
The charges AGAINST Lindell were INDEED frivolous.
The rest of my post stands.
Probably because any monetary help he gave Mike before everything had settled would likely end up in the plaintiff's hands. He'll help Mike. Maybe not even publicly.
I have seen no such thing. I knew the guy had gone off the deep end as soon as he hitched his wagon to that goofball Sidney Powell. “Release the Kraken,” my @ss.
He’s a good man, good American.
As Jesus demonstrated by his teaching and miracles: no good deed goes unpunished.
Like he did with Rudy, Trump distanced himself from Lindell. There is a lot of ruin in his path as well. People who tried to defend Trump. Always wondered why Trump did not come to Rudy’s aid.
“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.”
Sometimes the judge orders that the sanctioned party personally pay the sanctions. I would like to see the wording in the sanctions order.

PRESIDENT Trump hasn’t distanced himself from Mike Lindell.
Mike was at Mar a Lago for the election parties.
We have no idea what their relationship consists of or what they are/are not discussing between themselves.
Same goes for Rudy.
Wow. Very RINO sounding comment, btw.
Well, his pillows are mediocre at best. He was a marketing genius with a blow average product.
[Well, his pillows are mediocre at best.]
Apparently Mike’s pillow offer relief to people with neck injuries, whiplash, et . My friends attest to their comfort.
The charges made BY Lindell were not frivolous. I think you had it right,
Believe what you want.
God bless Mike Lindell.
I wish someone lilke Elon could prove him right and right this terrible wrong.

I agree 100 %!!!!
MY heart aches for him. I have about everything I need but think I will buy some more to encourage him right now.

Exactly! He did what he did for our Country. He is one I hate see set aside by some frivolous action from the court!

His towels and sheets are great.
His pillows aren’t too shabby, either.
Time to resupply.
