This is what Josh Merrit did

Unfortunately for Lindell, the man he hired to assess that data has now admitted that it can’t possibly show what he says it does. See, Lindell brought on various cyber analysts who were supposed to look at the data provided at the symposium and assess its validity. Josh Merritt, who is described as the pillow salesman’s “lead cyber expert,” did not stick to the script.

“So our team said, we’re not going to say that this is legitimate if we don’t have confidence in the information,” Merritt told The Washington Times on Thursday. He further told the outlet that the data, in the form that it’s been provided, could not prove that a cyberattack had occurred.

The apparent nothingburger of Lindell’s findings similarly means that the reward he had offered — $US5 ($7) million to any infosec official who could disprove his evidence of a conspiracy — will also not be materialising. Merritt apparently told the Times that the offer is “no longer on the table.”
