MyPillow’s Mike Lindell, the man who went from loving crack to loving Jesus and Donald Trump, could be forced to find himself a new surface to lay his comically-oversized head on every night. (And hey, props to Lindell for beating his demons, no matter your political affiliation, that’s commendable.)
The sleep solution magnate famous for his legendary rallies in support of Trump, attended by literally tens of people, is being sued by Dominion Voting Systems on charges of defamation.
Lindell has maliciously claimed that Dominion manipulated election results last November in order to cheat Donald Trump out of victory, and the $1.3 billion lawsuit puts an exclamation mark on how serious Dominion is about silencing that nonsense.
Lindell has laughed off concerns about the suit, partly because (we assume) all that crack did a number on the old brainstem, and partly because (and we repeat ourselves) he’s still pretty convinced he’s right, despite an utter lack of any sort of evidence whatsoever.
“I’m the one that asked them to sue me,” Lindell said to Insider. “I don’t care if it’s a scrillion, a billion, whatever. It’s all just a joke.”
But he won’t be laughing soon, according to some who have — first jokingly, and then seriously — said that Dominion may end up owning the company that Lindell founded and whose commercials still haunt your dreams.
How so?
Experts say that Dominion is making a point with the suit, and that they’re likely not even that concerned with actually squeezing that much money out of Lindell. But if that’s the case, then the absolute best revenge against someone trying to destroy your reputation is to do the same thing — devastatingly — in return.
Bankruptcy lawyer Eric Snyder says that if a jury finds in favor of Dominion in the suit and they value Lindell’s assets at less than the judgment awarded to Dominion, the voting machine company could take everything Lindell has, up to and including the pillow we presume he sleeps on every night.
What you need to do is you need to go into all the states that MyPillow has assets. So they go into Minnesota where MyPillow is, and they file the judgment there, and then they go to the sheriff and say, ‘I want you to start seizing the assets of MyPillow — inventory, equipment, everything they own.’
The possibility of Mike Lindell watching his baby get seized by authorities and given to the company he’s been lying about for nearly a year must be giving him nightmares.
