SIOUX WATERFALLS, SD — MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell’s Cyber ​​Symposium ended Thursday without presenting the promised proof. Chinese He hacked the 2020 presidential election and turned the votes on President Biden.

Mr. Lindell claims to have 37 terabytes of “irrefutable” evidence of hackers’ backing. Chineseentered electoral systems, but He did not explain why her conference crashed.

“I know you’ve all come here and I don’t know what the expectations are,” said Mr. Lindell he said as the sun began to set over the three-day symposium. “Things have really changed more or less over the course of three days. I hope you are all well fed.”

Mr. Lindell provided three free meals a day for roughly 500 attendees.

There is no one from Mr. Lindellteam acknowledged that they did not support the basic evidence her Chinese hacking allegations. For months, Mr. Lindell trumpet her where cyber evidence and revelations are predicted her The symposium would prompt Mr Biden to resign and return former President Donald Trump to the White House.

But his story began to unravel on Day Two of the symposium.

As first reported by The Washington Times, Josh Merritt, cyber expert on the “red team” hired by Mr. Josh. Lindell To query the data for the symposium, he acknowledged that packet captures cannot be recovered in data and that the data provided cannot prove a cyberattack. Chinese.

“Our team said that if we don’t trust the information, we won’t say it’s legitimate,” he told The Times on Wednesday.

Participants were promised an in-depth review of the evidence.

On Thursday morning, cyber experts hired by Mr. Lindell were raising alarms about alleged cyber sabotage of data.

Phil Waldron, head of the “red team”, said his team had received credible information about a “poison pill” added to the data. It did not clarify what specific data the alleged poison pill was targeting and whether there were specific data analyzed by the experts involved.

Mr. Lindell told He Earlier in January, it was intercepted by multiple people who said they were intercepting network data, or “packet captures,” in real-time on Election Day. He He said this data is “objective evidence” of a cyberattack. He hired a team of experts who spent months verifying the material and organizing the symposium to present the evidence.

Leading the seminar, Mr. Lindell showed a scrolling, incomprehensible video of text. He were alleged packet captures He received – proof, He alleged her Chinese hack theory Video featured in: her The documentary “Absolute 9-0” was played cyclically throughout the congress center throughout the symposium.

Cybersecurity expert J. Kirk Wiebe, a former National Security Agency analyst and whistleblower, also referred to Mr. Lindell did not have actual datasets.

Mr Wiebe said the scrolling text should most likely look like what packet captures would look like in the dataset, but not actual packet captures that are vital to proving the claims.

Mr. Waldron clarified Mr. Merritt’s words by stating that the team received only a small portion of the data Mr. Merritt had given. Lindell claims that it has and that the remaining data may contain the elements necessary to prove it. Chinese They hacked the election.

The symposium was the culmination of Mr Lindell’s many-publicized allegations of election fraud for months. These allegations were largely discredited and cost him a great deal of money and reputation.

Mr. Lindell He has produced several documentaries summarizing the allegations of election fraud that have been published. her Web site. Including “Absolute 9-0” He summarized the specific claim that was the subject of the cyber symposium.

He broadcast the entire duration of the symposium live. her website FrankSpeech.com and said He It had hoped to attract 1 billion viewers. Mr. Lindell said on Thursday He It reached 40 million viewers.

They all left without the “irrefutable” proof promised to them.

As the symposium draws to a close, cyber expert Doug Gould, who is not on the Lindell payroll, told the crowd that it will take more time to delve into the data. Mr. Gould was one of the internet detectives who attended the event and parsed the data for three days.

He said it would likely take three weeks to find anything meaningful in the data.

“I’m working with the team looking at the data here,” Mr. Gould told the after-lunch crowd, dominated by state legislators from all 50 states. “And I think one of the things that maybe is a missed expectation is that I want to explain it to everyone.

Mr. Gould gave an analogy of bringing his defective car to a mechanic and requesting repairs within five minutes, which he said was unrealistic.

“So we need more time,” said Mr. Gould.

Accompanying Mr. Gould on stage, Mr. Waldron also reversed expectations for the grand reveal promised to the attendees. He said the votes may have to be manually recounted to understand what’s going on at the polls.

“Data analysis is one piece. Then, you know, the important thing is to manually count the votes and then compare these batch files with the footage,” said Mr. Waldron.

Other experts who saw the data for three days had a different view.

“Initial analysis takes time, finding a needle in a haystack takes a lot of effort,” Robert Graham, a cyber expert who attended the event, said on Twitter. “But once you find a needle, it doesn’t take long to confirm you’ve found it. If packet captures had been given to us, we could have confirmed them within a day.”

Mr. Graham remained quiet on Twitter throughout the incident, addressing the elusive evidence. He left the symposium empty-handed.

“This is the ‘cyber-expert’s’ final decision,” he said in a departing tweet. “Number of ‘capture capture’ or ‘cyber-cap’ visible = 0. Amount of ‘Absolute Evidence’ seen = 0. Amount of evidence seen = 0.”
