The loan sharks also should have known, when doing business with this goof, that they probably weren’t going to get paid back. ---

The loan sharks _may_ have had a minor investment in “well, maybe, if Trump wins and everyone caves to having pillows on their shows again”. But more likely they believed he’d get the Real Estate loan mentioned in the article so they could collect their $16k a day: > Lindell initially agreed to the $600,000 merchant cash advance, which would cost $840,000 to repay, in order to get a real estate loan from Lifetime, according to court filings. The company “refused to honor its commitment” and that loan never came to fruition, the suit says. Lindell and several of his other companies, including Lindell Media and Lindell-TV, guaranteed the cash advance and would be on the hook. Of course it could be a plan to get control of Lindell’s properties, but personally I suspect they’re worth next-to-nothing or even substantially underwater between the loans and liabilities. ---

Good luck with that. Considering what a mess Lindell has made of this situation and his company I doubt they have $8.8 million in assets. ---

I suspect it’s a “get in line” scenario, with a minor side of “Maybe one of his _friends_ will bail him out and we’ll get _something_ back”. Considering all the unpaid legal judgements, legal _fees_ from his own and other lawyers, unpaid bills to creditors (now +1), his lack of credit with credible financing institutions, and his tit-for-tat and failure to pay his near-loansharking creditors, I’m amazed someone hasn’t shown up and padlocked the doors to any facility with his or his businesses name on it. ---

I’m quite confident that FedEx has zero expectation of getting an actual payment, and this lawsuit is just Step One heading toward joining in the eventual lien. All the creditors will gather in the parking lot and pick over the bones together. ---

Well, as mentioned countless times, when you owe the bank a little money, _you_ have a problem. When you owe, well, everyone, a LOT of money, the bank or other creditor is the one with the problem. 😉 Or in the words of Futurama “Look, you want false hope or not?” ---
