An arbitration panel says Lindell owes an expert who entered and won his 2021 “Prove Mike Wrong Challenge” over his election-fraud claims.
that he announced a contest offering a $5 million bounty to anyone who could “Prove Mike Wrong.” He then presented his supposed proof at a “cyber symposium” in South Dakota where Lindell expected, as he later said in a deposition, that “cyber guys” would gather to confirm he was right.
But only one expert took the “Prove Mike Wrong Challenge” seriously: software forensics consultant Robert Zeidman, a 63-year-old Trump voter in Nevada. Despite his political allegiance, Zeidman did indeed prove that Mike was wrong. What happened next wasn’t much of a surprise, either: Lindell never made good on the reward. Now,“Based on the foregoing analysis, Mr.
Zeidman’s attorney, Brian Glasser, celebrated the ruling and said it and their lawsuit “mark another important moment in the ongoing proof that the 2020 election was legal and valid, and the role of cybersecurity in ensuring that integrity.” The ruling , since apparently no one other than Zeidman thought the contest would be fair enough to be worth entering., Lindell called the ruling a “terrible wrong decision” and vowed to challenge it in court — except the contest rules dictated that disputes be “resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration.”
Lindell said in a deposition that he never doubted his own claims about the data and conceived of the challenge and big payout as a way to make the news. He wasn’t wrong about that.Daily news about the politics, business, and technology shaping our world.
