'I'm in ruins': MAGA MyPillow CEO insists he 'doesn't have 5 cents' to pay court tab

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell told a court this week he's broke and won't be able to write a check for all of the sanctions he's been ordered to pay. Lindell claimed in court Wednesday that he and his company had "a combined $70 million in debt." He said the IRS is also garnishing him. “Nobody will borrow me anymore. Not one dime,” Lindell said. “I’m in ruins.”
"Last month, the voting systems company Smartmatic asked a federal judge in D.C. to hold Lindell in civil contempt over his failure to pay more than $50,000 in sanctions for filing a frivolous counterclaim in a defamation suit brought by a separate company, Dominion Voting Systems," the report said.
Dominion and Smartmatic have both sued Lindell for defamation. In the Dominion suit, the lawyers alleged that Lindell continued to say that the 2020 election was stolen from President Donald Trump "because the lie sells pillows."
"Lindell has said in court filings that at one point his company was generating as much as $300 million in annual revenue," WUSA said. Lindell told the court he's living off just $1,000 a week. “I don’t have $5,000 or 5 cents,” Lindell said.

Yet another redneckism from Redneck America... 
just like his hero, the Orange Fascist Pig. 
Finding out that loyalty is a one-way street with Trump, Lindell?
I really do not like to see anyone suffer... but if it has to be, couldn't happen to a much more deserving person
dough…..
"Everything Trump Touches Dies"
My god, how would any of those scenarios work on a necklace?! 
I'm laughing so hard I'm crying. Cheer up Mike, maybe you and Rudy can share a box under a bridge somewhere.
He's a lying bastard here as well. like TSF, he couldn't tell the truth if his life depended on it!! 
trump likes to help people like you, he does it all the time, he is the #1 philanthropist of the World, a lot of people say that.
Almost forgot, republicans are going to gather for a "thoughts and prayers" session on your behalf, for you to get back on your feet. You cannot imagine how effective "thoughts and prayers" are...No one can, actually.
you sad sack of $hit!
...get to see FElon crying about the loss of his fortune one day while still never criticizing the person most responsible for the loss....
A thousand a week doesn't buy much rock.
Oh yeah, "Tears On My Pillow"!!
Look at how many stores quit carrying his products a while back. When that happened, I figured it was just a matter of time before he was forced to go out of business. From this, it sounds like he's still trying to stay in business, but looking at his company's website, it's on very shaky ground. The main page is full of "closeout" sales on all kinds of merchandise and looks cheesy as hell!
A smarter guy might have been able to figure out how to protect some of his assets, but I don't think Lindell is smart at all. If he was, he'd have filed for bankruptcy by now. Instead he's complaining about how no one will lend him any money. (Of course no one will lend you money, doofus, they know there's no way you'll ever be able to pay them off! And you shouldn't be trying to borrow anyway. The last thing you need is more debt! 
)
I suppose it's possible he could be faking, but I doubt it. He's nothing but a dumb cluck who got lucky huckstering an overpriced product that a lot of people were willing to buy. He got really rich really fast, and instead of managing his newfound prosperity wisely, he threw all his eggs in Trump's basket and proceeded to piss away money like a drunken sailor trying to "prove" the unprovable Big Lie, that Democrats rigged the 2020 election and "stole" it from Trump.
So yeah, I believe he probably is broke, because he's a stupid idiot who made a whole bunch of terrible decisions. That can happen when someone who's not too bright gets rich quick and thinks he's on top of the world and can do anything he wants. Throw in the Trumpian delusions, and it's very easy to see how he could now be in debt over his head with nothing to show for it except piles of merchandise he's trying to sell off for a fraction of its original price.
I'm sure the court will eventually be able to find out the true state of his finances, and if he's as broke as I think he is, the next step will be liquidating any assets he still has, the way they've been doing with Giuliani.
I actually feel kind of sorry for this mope. No, really! It's true that he brought all his troubles on himself, but he did it because he was stupid, and I think that's sad. I don't think he had any truly evil intentions when he hitched his wagon to Trump's star. He just fell for the hype, the same way a lot of other stupid people did. Stupid people can't help being stupid; they just are what they are, and it's a damned shame that a lying narcissistic jackhole like Trump can fool them into throwing away everything they have for his sake. I'm sure Lindell and Giuliani are just 2 of a long list of people whose lives he's ruined, and worst of all, he's nowhere near done yet.
