The plaintiff in the case, Robert Zeidman, “is awarded $5 million plus post-judgment interest beginning April 19, 2023, to be paid within 30 days of issuance of this Order, per the Arbitration Award,” U.S. District Judge John R. Tunheim wrote in his ruling.
Lindell told NBC News he’d likely appeal the decision in the “corrupt” case, but Zeidman’s attorney Brian Glasser said that wouldn’t stop him from having to pay up in the meantime.
“If you want to stop the collection effort you have to post a bond,” Glasser said. If Lindell does not do so, “we have the right to use collection mechanisms to try to find the money,” including by seizing bank accounts and using subpoena power to track Lindell’s assets, Glasser said.
Mike Lindell has found out that going to the MAGA circuit and all the right wing press outlets to claim the judge was biased and the case corrupt doesn't stop you from having to pay out when you lose in court.
The funny part of this - if you do a bit of digging - is that Robert Zeidman was once MAGA to core and set out not to prove Mike Lindell's claims wrong but to actually validate them. Zeidman, a professional cyber data analyst, said once he started to apply his critical thinking and analysis skills to the issue it very quickly became clear that Lindell's system wasn't even just random server traffic that showed nothing one way or the other, as many had assumed, but actually contained data that proved the election fraud claims made by Lindell conclusively wrong.
Hmmm.
