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.
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.
