Mike Lindell's meltdown begins: He recently sold a MyPillow plane to fund Dominion lawsuit

Pillow mogul turned election conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell is facing multiple difficulties in his two-pronged quest to prove that the 2020 election was stolen by China — and to fend off a colossal lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems, which claims that Lindell and many others defamed the company and did enormous damage to its business and reputation.

With Dominion's $1.3 billion lawsuit hanging over his head, records indicate that Lindell is making major personal concessions in preparation for a significant legal battle.

According to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) records reviewed by Salon, Lindell (through his company MyPillow) has recently sold off at least one of his private planes. FAA records indicate that an aircraft registered to MyPillow — a 1993 Dassault-Breguet Falcon 50 with tail number N497SP — was transferred to Clyde Air LLC on July 26, for an undisclosed purchase amount. (A similarly-configured 1993 Falcon 50 private jet currently on the market has a $2.5 million price tag.)

Using an apartment address associated with the new owner, Salon traced the purchase to a potential big-money buyer: capital executive Frank Selldorff. He didn't return a Salon request for comment on Tuesday afternoon.

Louisiana man, 71, presumed dead after an alligator attacked him in an area flooded by Ida

A 71-year-old Louisiana man was presumed dead after a large alligator attacked him in an area flooded by Hurricane Ida, officials said Monday.

The man's wife said her husband, who was not immediately identified by authorities, was walking in floodwaters around noon when the gator attacked him outside their home in Slidell, a city on the northeast side of Lake Pontchartrain across from New Orleans, according to the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office.

The wife told deputies she was inside the residence when she heard a commotion, went outside, saw the attack and rushed to help her husband.

She pulled him out of the floodwaters once the attack ended and went inside the home to gather first-aid supplies, the sheriff's office said in a statement.
