How does one prove that someone does not have something?

[-] Khanzarate@lemmy.world 13 points 5 months ago

I'm not sure but the mandatory arbitration lindell himself put in said to pay the guy, so it was as rigged as lindell could get it without it being illegal, and they still felt it was well-proven, and lindell should pay.

I claim that I have a five dollar bill in my pocket. I challenge you to prove me wrong.

We turn my pocket inside out. No five dollar bill is there. I lose the challenge.

In Mike Lindels case, what was the pocket that he was forced to open, revealing no data was there?

It seems like such a ridiculous exercise.

From the article:

Engineer Robert Zeidman entered the "Prove Mike Wrong" challenge and proved that Lindell did not possess data showing that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump

The "pocket" that he was supposed to open to show proof was the file(s) he claimed had proof of election fraud. When he opened the files there was no proof, just unrelated data and gibberish.
