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.
Welp, sell all his assets and sell his few usable body parts.
What a fantastic article to read with my morning coffee! I realize he’s one in a long list of shitbags who need their comeuppance, but little bits of happiness are still worth it
[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.
It’s only $57K. One of those houses ought to cover it. He can go fuck himself.
Nichols should raise the fine to $40k less than the value of both houses combined and teach this prick what destitute means.
That “nobody will lend me any money” statement also smacks of “I can’t get anyone else to pay this for me”, too.
Bitch, it’s your penalty.
“I have nothing to hide,” Lindell reportedly told Nichols. “I want Smartmatic to see the financial situation I’m in as well.”
Your financial situation is wholly irrelevant. Jesus fuck, these people.
Smartmatic seeing his financial situation:
Dude was worth between 100-300 million at his peak. I don’t buy for a second that he’s broke. It’s probably all hidden in crypto or cocaine stashed under the floorboards.
Nah I think this rube not only gave all his liquid cash to daddy Trump throughout the early years he also borrowed against the value of his company at peak to donate more. Then when everyone found out he was a nazi and couldn’t sell pillows anymore the whole house of cards fell down around him.
That being said I hope he ends up in the gutter.
Same, but there’s no way in hell this type of psycho gave it all away. He stashed a couple million somewhere for a rainy day. That’s how these people work.
There’s money in the banana stand
How’s it feel to be thrown to the wolfs dipshit?
To other dipshits sucking farts, you are not special. Once your usefulness comes to an end you’re a nobody who no one will rescue. This should be common sense, what do you do with a pen that has run out of ink? You’re all disposable to king trump.
You know what they say, go woke go broke!
Wait…
Two in the thoughts, one in the prayers.
Cool, you chose to do this so sell everything you own and start over again
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?
Just because the words are savage AF doesn’t meant they aren’t the truth.
what about denier-in-chief? Could someone use this ruling as a precedent to launch a lawsuit against him?
He wrote checks his ass could not cash.
Womp-womp.
Don’t do stupid and illegal bullshit. Grow the fuck up shut the fuck up
Lol
He’ll be ok on social security. It’s a good thing he hasn’t aided people who are dismantling the safety nets…
Welp looks like it’s time to sell some more lumpy pillows at a discount nazi price.
