Mike Lindell Says He Has No Money After Being Ordered to Pay $5 Million
Source: Newsweek
On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge John R. Tunheim upheld an April 2023 ruling that requires Lindell to pay computer forensics expert Robert Ziedman $5 million, who debunked his 2020 election data. Lindell maintains the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump and has spent $40 million in his efforts to prove it.
After the ruling, Lindell told War Room podcast host Steve Bannon that he will appeal the decision and that Zeidman won't "see a dime."
"I don't have any money," Lindell told NBC News after the ruling. "I have a pickup truck and a house that I live in. That's it."

(35,684 posts)Does he have for spending $40 million on election fraud. What a sucker.
The whole r-w thing is a scam. They scam each other, they scam the media, its all just this make believe play world they live in. Who could stand to live like this?

(22,037 posts)We all live in the real world where facts exist. How do these people twist their brains into believing such obvious garbage?
Did Giuliani, Lindell, Powell or any of the rest really believe the stupid lies they were spouting? If they did, they are seriously in need of mental healthcare. If they were just lying, they need to be prosecuted and sued which seems to be their futures.
Im also amazed and dismayed at how many of Trumps enablers were lawyers! Their crimes were blatant and their hubris and self-righteousness was stunning. Trumps manipulations of our legal systems has been violently malicious and its gratifying to see him keep losing every court case.
All of these criminal insurrectionists need to be held to account. I feel those results are coming.

I mean, he impoverished himself with great gusto, tagging along with tfg's campaign entourage and serving as a faithfully useful moron with deep, but ultimately finite pockets. TFG hollowed him out and sucked him dry, just like he did to Rudy G. Destroying lives is TFG's super power.

I really feel sorry for the man; bless his heart.

Poor Mike, his defense that everyone should have know he was a liar and a blow-hard didn't work out for him.

spending tens of millions on the steal on behalf of TFG; believing that youd even had a shot at that coveted inner circle.
You spent 40 million that Trump gladly allowed you to spend that he otherwise wouldnt have had access to
You sir; are effectively known as a useful idiot.
You were going to end up broke and destitute regardless
