CHASKA, Minn. – MyPillow manufacturer Mike Lindell of Chaska vowed to appeal a $5 million arbitration ruling against him on the veracity of his claim that China messed up Donald Trump’s 2020 re-election bid. “It’s going to end up in court,” Lindell told the Associated Press. “I’m not going to pay anything.” A software engineer had taken up Lindell’s offer of $5 million for anyone who could disprove his China claim. An arbitration board sided with the software engineer, who had examined massive quantities of binary code and other materials from Lindell. In the AP interview, Lindell said, however, that the software engineer’s examination “didn’t prove anything.” Lindell said he intends to release additional data in the coming weeks or months to prove Chinese interference. “I’ll spend everything I have to save the country I love,” Lindell said, who has made a fortune on his MyPillow products.

Definition: Arbitration

Arbitration is an alternative to going to court to resolve a dispute. Both parties must agree to arbitration. The conclusion of an arbitration board are legally binding and enforceable in the courts. No appeal is possible unless both parties agree, which hardly ever would make sense.
