A lawsuit filed Thursday said MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell stands to lose more than $2 billion after voting-machine companies Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic engaged in a "conspiracy and enterprise to harm him."
As well as financial damage, Lindell also received death threats because of the "cancel culture" the two companies created, the filing said.
Lindell is in a legal battle with both companies after he spread debunked claims that Dominion and Smartmatic "flipped" votes from Donald Trump to Joe Biden during the 2020 presidential election.
Dominion sued Lindell in February for $1.3 billion. Lindell then countersued and filed a separate lawsuit from MyPillow in April for $1.6 billion, saying Dominion was trying to stifle free speech.

(11,744 posts)A company filing defamation on ACTIONABLE statements IS NOT "stifling free speech". He literally said false things about the companies, which had a real financial effect on their business and reputation. The literal definition of defamation. Then he countersues saying that they are trying to stop his "free speech"?
The GOVERNMENT is the entity that is typically sued for "stifling free speech". Private companies have every right to challenge harmful speech that damages them.

Trying to get a Trump-humper to understand the Constitution and applicable laws is like trying to get a mule to walk up a ladder. Good luck.
Lindell is one of Trump's most dense and idiotic remoras. Anything over and above chopping foam into little pieces is out of his league.
They'll never understand, Caliman73, but they'll keep repeating the same old bullshit anyway. They think it makes them look smart. 🤡

(11,744 posts)Though I doubt it, but I do hope Dominion and Scantronic go through with the case and it costs Lindell heavy.

And, this assumes there aren't undisclosed loans like his hero has.
After all, like T***p, he lies about his net worth, by at least a factor of 10.

(21,624 posts)He can bluster all he wants but in court you cant just bullshit the world like on Fox News.
He is probably already well aware that hes going to lose and his lawyers are going to tell him this because if lindell loses everything, they arent getting paid.
So they are going to tell him to make dominion an settlement offer and pray dominion takes it so he can pay dominion, his lawyers and still have two cents to rub together. Otherwise his lawyers are probably going to tell him they quit and here is our bill because they arent going to sink years into defending him only to find his pockets empty when the bill comes due.
