Mike Lindell says he was 'attacked' in Sioux Falls on Wednesday, but police say no report has been filed
MyPillow founder Mike Lindell told attendees at his “cyber symposium” in Sioux Falls Thursday that he was "attacked" Wednesday night at his hotel, but the police department said they haven't received a report.
Lindell briefly told attendees he was "attacked" but did not go into detail about the incident while on stage at his “cyber symposium” event at the South Dakota Military Heritage Alliance.
"I’m OK. It hurts a little bit,” Lindell said. “I just want everyone to know all the evil that’s out there.”
Sioux Falls Police said no reports have been made from Lindell about the alleged incident.
An officer from the SFPD will be visiting Lindell on Thursday to ask about the incident, police spokesman Sam Clemens said.
Lindell is in Sioux Falls for a "cyber symposium" where he announced in July that he hoped 300-400 “cyber-forensics experts” would attend and back up his claims that voting machines were hacked to flip votes intended for former President Donald Trump to President Joe Biden in November 2020.
The three-day event is in its final day after starting on Tuesday.
If he was actually attacked why didn't he report it to the police?
Staged, absolutely. No doubt about it.
He was in a drunken stupor and the sidewalk and a doorknob attacked him.
Or he was crying so hard he didn't see the wall
I think it was the pillow he is holding, but it was self-defense... it got tired of being used as a fuck doll.
That's what the pillow said.
And I thought I had a dirty mind....ROFL!!!!!!!!!!
Did I make you proud?
oh yeah
Reminds one of the article about an Elmo doll being molested.
I never saw that one. Must have been very fuzzy in details...
The dude should have known better. Elmo speaks...
Too true....
Maybe he can get Jussie Smolett's lawyer.
He doesn't look like he was violently attacked does he?
Maybe someone told him to put on a mask...
What's the worry?
I just noticed that tomorrow is 8/13... isn't that the day that he said that Trump will be "Reinstated"?
So...tomorrow Trump will be back in office...and all will be well!
Whooops... I "inadvertently forgot the /sarcasm tag!
August 16 is when a pair of shoes I ordered are suppose to be made and shipped.
That's the day...just because.
I just heard that the Aliens are to land tomorrow and start a war.
They saw the Jewish space lasers and got concerned.
And we have the same amount of proof on his claim he was attacked as we have on his claim the election was hacked. None. Say, aren't paranoia and hallucinations symptoms of a psychotic break?
Does he still flat out own his company. Like I wonder if there is stock holders or something. Maybe a board that oversees operations.
They need to get together and somehow overthrow him from his own company lest they all go down.
Private company. Reported 300 million in "revenue" in 2019.
I don't see how he could make up for losing 22 stores.
He seems to think so though.
He thinks Jesus is his accountant and Jesus will provide.
Time to tax these overtly political 'religious' organizations.
He didn't report it to the police because it would be too embarrassing to admit that he was attacked by MyPillow and lost the fight.
Lawsuits and settlement
In April 2016, a class action lawsuit was proposed for the pillows being falsely advertised, among the complaints being that Lindell is marketed as a "Sleep Expert," despite having no board certification or special training in sleep medicine. [7] The Better Business Bureau received 220 complaints regarding the company from 2013 to 2016. [28]
In August 2016, the New York State Attorney General 's office charged that My Pillow failed to collect and remit over $500,000 in sales tax. The company denied any wrongdoing but agreed to pay $1.1 million in settlement. [29]
On November 1, 2016, My Pillow agreed to pay $1 million ($995,000 in civil penalties and $100,000 to California charities benefitting homeless persons and victims of domestic violence) to settle a false advertising lawsuit brought in Alameda County Superior Court by Alameda County and eight other California counties . [30] The lawsuit challenged the company's marketing claims. This included claims without proof that its products could help people with fibromyalgia , restless leg syndrome and sleep apnea . [30] In the past, the company had published testimonials claiming its products could ease symptoms of cerebral palsy , acid reflux and menopause . [30] As part of the settlement, the company was banned "from making claims in California that its pillows can cure or treat diseases and their symptoms without a human trial to back up the statements." [30] "In addition, My Pillow must stop promoting itself as the 'official pillow' of the National Sleep Foundation because it failed to disclose its financial connection with the foundation to consumers." [29]
In November 2017, the lawsuit, which challenged the appropriateness of the marketing, packaging, and sale of My Pillow products, including health claims about the product, buy one get one promotions, and the use of third party endorsements and logos, was settled. [8]
Ratings and reviews
A 2016 Consumer Reports review of the company's pillows found a mixed reception after at-home testing, finding that "only one-third of the group said they would buy MyPillow again." [31]
In January 2017, the Better Business Bureau (BBB) announced it had revoked the accreditation for My Pillow and had lowered its rating from an A+ to an F [32] based on numerous consumer complaints. The main issue addressed by the BBB was the constant use of their buy one, get one free offer. The BBB's Code of Advertising requires that offers or discounts must be made for a limited time, or the deal becomes the normal price of the product. [33] It remained an active promotion, as of August 2020. [34]
So he didn't pay taxes...why am I not surprised.
The crazy never ends....
Mike's "cyber expert" just declared Lindell's evidence is baseless or lost.
SHOCKER! Mike Lindell’s Own Cyber Expert Announces His Election Fraud Conspiracies Are Baseless (msn.com)
Pause while Lindell asks Trump what to do next.
Haha. Should post that on the memes article.
LMAO
No injuries, huh? Was it a pillow fight?
