I don't know. My wife ordered one for me and it was sleeping on a bag of bricks.

I will say the sheets and the towels were pretty good.

It wasn't just random nonsense.

They claimed to have packet capture logs but none of them were of a standard packet capture format. Wireshark is a free IP packet capture tool I've used for that purpose for decades. It's free to download.

Another document was just a list of random IP addresses which are meaningless without additional context. It was a rich text doc that had the file extension changed. If opened in a text editor, it looks like random text. However, anyone with a bit of IT knowledge would know to change the extension and open the document in Word.

But the coup de grâce was the fact the dates of the files provided were changed just before the challenge. To a data forensics analyst this is tampering of evidence.

Not serious people.

The best part was how he, after inserting an arbitration clause that led to the $5M judgment, proclaimed on social media he would have his day in court

You are one of the rare people that would have actually known what they were looking at. I even knew random nonsense wasn't an accurate term when I typed it but didn't want to go back and try to cut and paste what it actually was.

I would have been at the mercy of the people that brought it to me just like Lindell was but the difference is I rarely bet my own money on stuff I don't understand. Rudy, Sidney, and Mike proved to be chucklefricks and at least two of them had been serious people at some point in their lives.

Exactly. His strategy of pandering so heavily to the right wing was excellent insofar as it gave him a huge surge in business. But he has tapped that market, and not many of them are going to buy a second expensive pillow.

I bought several My Pillows over the years. Their novelty has worn off.

Lindell is crazy as a loon. he's getting what he deserves. these companies that enter the political game (left or right) need to realize that americans can play that game too. there's plenty of places to buy pillows.

Yet nobody here is willing to suggest "Go MAGA, go broke," but it can happen both ways. At least as long as this market is so polarized and people insist on bringing that political polarization into the marketplace.
Lindell kind of insisted on this result with his persistence.
This, too, will pass.
