MyPillow CEO may have bought $1.5 million home for supposed expert who didn't even show up at "cyber symposium"
MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell's alleged net worth of $300 million may be dwindling rapidly, thanks in large part to the team of blundering operatives, advisers and self-appointed cyber experts who have convinced Lindell to pay them big bucks for their thoroughly unsuccessful work to help him reverse the outcome of the 2020 presidential election.
According to interviews with sources close to Lindell and documents reviewed by Salon, the bedding magnate has paid more than $3 million to various advisers and his team of "white hat hackers." They produced the supposed "packet-capture" evidence, which Lindell has promised for months would prove the election had been hacked, and were also paid to ensure its "safety" between the November election and Lindell's much-hyped "cyber symposium" last month in South Dakota.
On Thursday, Josh Merritt, a former member of Lindell's "red team" at the South Dakota event, told Salon that the $3 million was split among a group of Lindell's "cyber experts." Most of the money, he said, went toward the purchase of a luxury Florida home for Dennis Montgomery, a discredited former government contractor with a checkered history who has become central to Lindell's operation.
Merritt said that in the "red team room" he heard Lindell and an employee discuss "that being the house that Dennis Montgomery lived in. Lindell had stated many times he had paid Montgomery and others over $3 million, and he had spent a total of over $15 million" on his claims of election fraud.

He just emulates his idol Trump... claiming to be more rich.
Whatever he had 3 years ago, he's wasted most of this.

Who would give him a loan, or enter into an agreement with him?
Who would want to buy products from this guy who screams lunatic theories every day?
Pillows is a competitive business. This guy made out by the branding and advertising of his product.
Now that brand is tarnished beyond repair.

I could be wrong, but I think he really believes all this bullshit and is probably going to lose everything because of it.
Oh well, maybe wingnut welfare will keep him afloat.
