Lindell made a challenge at one of his events to disprove his proof of voter fraud. A real expert looked at Lindell's crap and was able to prove that this crap was gibberish. Lindell and the expert went to arbitration and the arbitrator ruled that Lindell owed the $5 million. It is almost impossible to overturn an arbitration ruling in court. I have stopped using arbitration in most deals because you cannot appeal or overturn the ruling of an arbitrator absent proof of a real conflict of interest. The arbitration award was just upheld.

A federal court has confirmed a $5 million arbitration judgment against MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell.
In a 12-page order released on Wednesday, U.S. District Court Judge John Tunheim upheld a ruling that found Lindell must pay $5 million to cybersecurity expert Robert Zeidman, who responded to a contest to prove the pillow executive had not obtained evidence from the 2020 election....
Last year, an arbitration panel ordered Lindell to pay Zeidman $5 million. Zeidman asked the federal courts to confirm the decision, while Lindell requested that it be overturned.
"A court's review of an arbitration award is very limited," Judge Tunheim explained in Wednesday's order. "Where parties agree to arbitrate, a court cannot substitute a judicial determination for the arbitrator's decision."
"The Court is not at liberty to review the outcome of an arbitration award simply because one party believes it to be incorrect," he continued. "Retrial of the issues is not within the purview of the Court."
