    It was unclear if Lindell would retain new counsel in the case. As Foster pointed out, business entities cannot represent themselves in court.

    lol not even if he wanted to (which would be very entertaining to watch, sadly)

        If it’s incorporated (not a sole proprietorship or a partnership), the business is a legal entity just as a person, so the company would have to represent itself, but it’s not a real physical entity, so it can’t.

          All the benefits without any of the responsibility. Shareholders should be held responsible.
