My favorite part of this whole hilarious series of stories is that the guy who proved Lindell wrong was a Trump voter.
Imagine going from smoking crack, to making millions selling shitty pillows at Walmart, to losing it all for Donald Trump. What a loser.
TL;DR
“Prove Mike Wrong” offered $5 million to any willing and able cyber professional who could demonstrate that Lindell was wrong about the election being co-opted by Chinese hackers working on behalf of the Biden campaign.
in addition to having to pay a guy […] $5 million […], Lindell will now have to pay some of that guy’s attorneys fees, which were incurred in court.
Did nobody proofread this article? The writing is so convoluted. Run it through ChatGPT at the very least, good god.
The only things is the use of “guy” but apart from that i dont see anything wrong with that section.
Here’s the full quote:
Case in point: in addition to having to pay a guy who he bet $5 million couldn’t prove him wrong $5 million after that guy proved him wrong, and after he went to court to try to avoid paying the money, Lindell will now have to pay some of that guy’s attorneys fees, which were incurred in court.
There’s nothing technically wrong with it, it’s just really awkwardly worded.
The only thing wrong with this is the person writing it should never be allowed to write professionally ever again.
They left the best part out of the headline
Business Insider reports that, in addition to the $5 million, Lindell will also have to pay the guy’s attorney fees. A federal judge has ordered Lindell to pay Zeidman $4,508 in attorney fees. Zeidman had initially sought as much as $12,800 for approximately 16 billed hours, but the judge ruled that some of Zeidman’s legal discovery requests were “overly broad”
His lawyer bills $800/hr? Jesus Christ, who did he hire? That seems insane to me.
5 million dollars is on the line. Paying 10k to get it is a good investment.
The frantic part is because he’s the crackhead version of a dry drunk. I’m not being sarcastic about the crackhead thing. That’s part of his own supposed redemption story. If it’s even true and he’s stopped smoking the rock or snorting the nose candy. Maybe it’s adderall these days.
I don’t believe so.
As I understand it, he was an actually recovered addict, so it would be “fueled by the damage drugs had already done to his brain before he quit”.
And I think it was crack.
Not to defend the guy, but for a while there pre COVID, while I was doing some volunteer work, I heard from a connected volunteer that Mikey was donating cases upon cases of pillows to rehab locations in his home state, which, speaking as the bleeding heart liberal that I am who wishes we provided more for services like mental health and addiction, is pretty awesome.
A tax write off is possibly just a tax write off, but for a while, at least, it’s possible he might not have been totally reprehensible.
I mean, he also professed to be Christian and there was a stink about him not paying employees like four or five years ago too, so since the Bible has specific things to say about THAT behavior too, it’s pretty easy to draw conclusions but even people who behave like shit bags can perhaps sometimes be nuanced.
This dude lies like he breathes. I don’t know why we’d assume the recovered addict bit would be any exception
he also professed to be Christian and there was a stink about him not paying employees
As William S. Burroughs said: “if you’re doing business with a religious son of a bitch, get it in writing. HIs word isn’t worth shit, not with the Good Lord telling him how to fuck you on the deal.”
he also professed to be Christian
According to Luke 16:13 Jesus Christ said “You cannot serve both God and money.”
Mark 10:21 “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
