The Lede
Eight months into Joe Biden's presidency, the MyPillow guy, Mike Lindell, staged an event in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, that he promised would return Donald Trump to the White House. The three-day Cyber Symposium revolved around a cache of computer data that Lindell had surreptitiously acquired. In his telling, the data proved that Chinese hackers had manipulated American voting machines into securing Biden's victory. One attendee, Bob Zeidman, who had voted for Trump twice, hoped this was true.
Key Details
- Lindell had purchased his prized data for some $1.5 million from a software developer named Dennis Montgomery.
- Lindell announced a high-stakes wager: If anyone at the event could demonstrate that the data did not show election meddling, he would award them $5 million. He called it the Prove Mike Wrong challenge.
- "I confirmed that it was perfectly formatted, legitimate gibberish," Zeidman said. "In other words, it was a real Word document filled with gibberish, not a document that Word didn't understand."
