TL;DR

“Prove Mike Wrong” offered $5 million to any willing and able cyber professional who could demonstrate that Lindell was wrong about the election being co-opted by Chinese hackers working on behalf of the Biden campaign.

in addition to having to pay a guy [...] $5 million [...], Lindell will now have to pay some of that guy’s attorneys fees, which were incurred in court.

Did nobody proofread this article? The writing is so convoluted. Run it through ChatGPT at the very least, good god.

The only things is the use of "guy" but apart from that i dont see anything wrong with that section.

Here's the full quote:

Case in point: in addition to having to pay a guy who he bet $5 million couldn’t prove him wrong $5 million after that guy proved him wrong, and after he went to court to try to avoid paying the money, Lindell will now have to pay some of that guy’s attorneys fees, which were incurred in court.

There's nothing technically wrong with it, it's just really awkwardly worded.

The only thing wrong with this is the person writing it should never be allowed to write professionally ever again.
