Now, Lindell has come to Nevada through his attorneys with a plea to lift the protection order in the eTreppid lawsuit because he relied on Montgomery`s expertise as a cybersecurity expert and believed he had evidence that “voting machine manufacturers and their employees have been hacked repeatedly” and had worked in “illegal U.S. government surveillance programs.” After reinventing himself as an “offended whistleblower,” as The Daily Beast put it, Montgomery sued President Barack Obama, former FBI Director James Comey, and other officials, claiming he had 47 hard drives filled with evidence linking the government to an illegal surveillance program. As a privately held company, MyPillow has no public ratings and Lindell declined to comment on its value. The pillow tycoon does not appear on any list of billionaires. Dominion is also suing Trump`s former lawyers, Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, for similar election allegations. All parties said there was no “realistic possibility” of pre-trial settlements, according to Business Insider. With a massive verdict, Dominion would almost certainly be able to win any auction and own the pillow company. Whether Dominion wants to own MyPillow remains an open question, as making and selling pillows requires different skills than managing voting technology. Dominion could travel to Minnesota, where MyPillow is headquartered, and file a so-called execution warrant in local courts. From there, sheriffs or local courts could freeze assets such as bank accounts and hand over Lindell`s MyPillow stock and keys to her pillow storage. Dominion is seeking $1.3 billion in damages and suing MyPillow and Lindell.
Lindell used his company`s resources to vilify the voting tech company, selling more pillows in the process. Mike Lindell (Dominion): Denver-based Dominion sued Lindell and MyPillow separately for defamation in federal court, which a judge allowed in August 2021, with Dominion claiming the CEO was “selling the lie” through the company`s voting machines “because lying sells pillows.” Dominion also alleges that Lindell participated in a smear marketing campaign against the company to sell more pillows by encouraging the public to purchase MyPillow products after making his allegations of voter fraud and providing promotional codes related to those theories. “Crazy as a fox. Mike Lindell knows exactly what he`s doing, and it`s dangerous,” Smartmatic said in the lawsuit, which was filed in federal court in Minnesota. Lindell deliberately fanned the flames of xenophobia and party division for the noble purpose of selling his pillows. Mike Lindell (Smartmatic): U.S. District Judge Wilhelmina Wright rejected MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell`s request to dismiss Smartmatic`s lawsuit against him in September after Smartmatic sued MyPillow and Lindell in January for defamation and deceptive marketing practices, claiming the CEO spread “lies” about the company and “deliberately stoked the fire of xenophobia and party division to sell his pillows.” Bankruptcy law experts said it was possible. If MyPillow loses, Dominion has two options for adding a pillow business to its portfolio: seize its assets or win a bankruptcy auction.
Lindell rose to creepy celebrities hugging her “Made in America” pillows on TV. His attempt to turn this celebrity into political prominence has not only lost his cheesy stamp, but also millions of dollars in corporate profits as discarded retailers have increasingly rejected his product. Lawyers for Dominion Voting Systems — signaling that a legal settlement is not in sight — called MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell a “schoolyard bully.” Dominion would have the ability to seize property until the value of the judgment is satisfied. He could auction those assets himself, or he could keep them and have them valued, according to Edward Adams, a professor of corporate and bankruptcy law at the University of Minnesota School of Law. Dominion Voting Systems` defamation lawsuit against MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell may continue after the Supreme Court on Monday rejected Lindell`s attempt to block the case. The flood of lawsuits against 2020 election conspiracy theories by the Dominion Voting System has provoked very different reactions from defendants. John L. Smith is a long-time author and columnist.

The defamation lawsuit filed by voting machine company Dominion against MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell may continue after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the appeal of Donald Trump`s prominent supporter to block the case. Rudy Giuliani (Smartmatic): Smartmatic named Giuliani as a defendant in the first lawsuit filed in April 2021; A New York state judge upheld some of his claims against him, but not others, and Giuliani sued Smartmatic to recover his legal fees in the case. “This behavior is so outrageous in character and extreme in scale that it transcends all possible limits of decency. This should be considered cruel and intolerable in a civilized community. In response to Smartmatic`s lawsuit, Lindell said he was “excited” to present the evidence he had against the company. He told people that Smartmatic voting technology, hardware and software were developed solely for the purpose of stealing foreign elections by changing votes. And he told people that Smartmatic used its voting technology, hardware and software to do that during the 2020 U.S. election.
All lies. It`s quite mysterious. If only Montgomery had a hint of credibility. His scandalous history as a self-proclaimed high-tech expert is rich and nauseating. But his role in fomenting conspiracy hysteria about widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election sets him apart. The man who once defrauded the CIA and other federal agencies of $20 million with false claims that he had developed software capable of deciphering al-Qaeda terror attacks secretly transmitted during Al-Jazeera network broadcasts has outdone himself in Trump`s great sniper hunt. Lindell`s lawyers are seeking access to alleged Dominion documents that would show the company`s discovery machines “are connected to the Internet and remotely accessible.” “In a typical business bankruptcy, unsecured creditors receive $0.10 per dollar,” Adams said. “It`s not a great place.” In particular, the court concludes that at least Lindell`s claim against Smartmatic under the support or plea clause falls on the frivolous side of the line (other claims too). Accordingly, the court orders Lindell and his former lawyer to pay a portion of the fees and expenses incurred by Smartmatic in defending itself and seeking sanctions,” he added. Dominion filed a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit against Lindell in February 2021 for falsely claiming that the company`s voting machines were used to facilitate massive voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election. Lindell is a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump`s false claims that the election was “stolen” from him and wrongly given to President Joe Biden. OANN (Dominion): USA .
