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.

Re: 49 - agreed. He could post his proof. He still hasn’t. The excuse you’ll see in previous threads is that Lindell is waiting to bring it up at the Dominion trial.
He got involved with the likes of Dennis Montgomery, “Mary Fanning”, and Phil Waldron. He was not served well by them. Where are they now, after Lindell helped them.
Lindell simply refusing to pay an arbitrator award related to the Mike Lindell Challenge relegates him to nothing more than someone who went back on his word.
Trump had fundraisers for Rudy several times during the past few years.
Yep.
Unreal that people, here, don’t know this and state such snarky things about PRESIDENT Trump and Rudy/Lindell.
Oh stop it. I did not know the information that you just posted. We need to stop calling everyone freaking RINOS. It’s so stupid. I’m a AZ this State Senator and I was voted in as a conservative state senator. I’ve probably done more for this party than you ever have so just stop it.
Ha! YOU get called our for your ridiculous and negative comment, towards PRESIDENT Trump and tell me to “stop it”??
You sound particularly triggered.
And, I really don’t care, Margaret, who/what/where you’ve been elected to.
Your arrogant comment about how you’ve ‘probably done more for the party, than I have’ ... and your insulting comment about PRESIDENT Trump, are quite telling.
I’m sure Cindy McCainiac approves!
Have a good day.
Thank you!
Walmart pulling MyPillow off the shelves was devastating. Probably killed 90% of his sales.
