MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell broke down in court this week, telling a judge he has no money left to pay the sanctions imposed against him in a defamation case brought by voting technology company Smartmatic.
“I’m in ruins,” Lindell said tearfully during a virtual hearing before U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols on Wednesday, according to a report from ABC News. “I borrowed everything I can. Nobody will lend me any money anymore.”
Lindell was ordered to pay $56,369 in sanctions to Smartmatic, which sued him for defamation in 2022 over his baseless claims that the company helped rig the 2020 presidential election against Donald Trump.
Let me know when he’s seen living in a cardboard box. Until then, it’s probably bullshit.
56k is worth tears to this rich nazi* pillow fluffer?
With the company that had 1,500 employees and bought “an average of $1 million in ads per week on Fox”?
*the nazi thing:
On September 20, 2024, MyPillow posted an advertisement on X (formerly Twitter) for a sale on their classic pillow. The sale price was $14.88, which critics have noted is a common Nazi dog whistle known as the Fourteen Words. Numerous white supremacist accounts praised MyPillow and Mike Lindell in response. Lindell has denied that there was any hidden meaning behind the price, calling it a media hit job.
Thoughts and prayers fuccko
[Judge] Nichols asked Lindell on Wednesday for proof that he was in financial ruin. He described Lindell’s claims as “non-verifiable” and gave him until Friday to submit proof he was bankrupt.
Good. I bet the fucker has plenty of money stashed away.
Lindell told Nichols his only possessions were two homes and a truck he was trying to sell for cash.
Two homes, mother fucker, two. That’s two more than a lot of people. Judge needs to make him sell both homes and the truck and assign a forensic accountant to make sure he doesn’t have anything hidden anywhere. Leave him just enough to buy this place.
He also has a TV network he could shutter
He could just ask Kyle Rittenhouse for some of that money back.
Croc tears you bitch pillow boy
Oh, shit, I guess somebody actually did get consequences. I wonder if this guy’s problem is that he didn’t realize it’s all a grift.
He was a grifter who was a maga true believer. And he got severely outgrifted.
Ask Rudy about consequences.
Musk is getting close to being in their shoes, Elon is a better grifter though and probably doesn’t trust trump.
The past few months have probably just been a party for musk. He doesn’t give a fuck, and he’s got enough fail upwards magic to be fine after all this ends.
But i would absolutely love to see him end up reenacting Rudys fall.
Charlie Munger said Elon bets the farm too often to be investible. And he’s right.
Let’s all remember that this is part of the theater. Mike Lindell is not broke, and has access to all the money he needs. Mike Lindell won’t miss a meal, or sacrifice any comfort. He doesn’t want to pay the money he owes, and crying before thd judge is a calculated disinformation campaign to make it seem like the reasonable people have scored a victory. You’ll recognize victory when you’re viewing it through the bars of a prison cell.
Using the Alexa Jones method, he did the same thing
He’ll be ok on social security. It’s a good thing he hasn’t aided people who are dismantling the safety nets…
Im in Canada and this discount store near me that sells clothes from liquidations, must have gotten a truck load cause they have my pillows for $5. I don’t know how they ended up in Canada but im guessing some trailer park boys style smuggling run
The Swayze Express does it again!
Must have been that greasy Samsquatch!
Good. What a fucking piece of shit. Well deserved.
Boo hoo. Maybe if he hadn’t been such a shitheel he wouldn’t have gotten the sanctions imposed against him in the first place. Most people manage to go through their entire lives without ever even facing, nevermind losing, a defamation suit - I hope he gets exactly zero sympathy.
never forget this creature was begging for martial law.
Go call a waaah-mbulance.
I guess his accomplices never told him: you only get to avoid consequences if you’re wealthy.
I kid, of course. I am sure he said this after leaving his 500k-1mil valued house, and driving to the court in an audi. Sorry, pal, but you might just have to give a couple things up until you tug those bootstraps a little harder. It’s what you’d tell anyone else living outside of their means and committing crimes to do.
Oh no, wait, you wouldn’t. You’d look for a way to tie them to a minority group and ask ICE to come pick them up. Fucking fascist.
You need more upvotes. You’re aggressive, harsh, and direct with your words.
But also correct. More people need to be harsh towards this type of behavior. Why are societies kid gloves still on?
Thanks. I appreciate you saying so.
Just because the words are savage AF doesn’t meant they aren’t the truth.
