I think Kyle Rittenhouse has been misinformed on this issue. Lin Wood posted a series of messages on Telegram. It's possible he is lying, but his story seems to make sense.
First, Mike Lindell did not donate $2,000,000 to bail out Rittenhouse. That did not happen. Lindell donated $50,000 to Lin Wood's foundation, and it was for the purpose of helping with the election fraud of 2020, not anything to do with Kyle Rittenhouse. Here is Mike Lindell himself saying this:

Jack Prosebec got it wrong, as he seems to do quite often, whether it was laziness or intentional (unless, of course, both Lin Wood and Mike Lindell are lying for some reason, which I do not believe to be the case here).
The $50,000 donation to help with uncovering election fraud was added to Lin Wood's foundation funds, which brought their total to $600,000 in the general fund.
At the same time, the foundation was raising money to help with Kyle Rittenhouse's defense fund. That amount was at $1,250,000, and was a separate fund from the general fund. Because the total between these two funds was $1,850,000 at this point, and Kyle Rittenhouse's bail was $2,000,000, the idea was proposed to use all the funds for bail money.
This became an issue when Kyle was transferred to the general jail population at a time when his life was threatened by BLM. They said they were going to find him and kill him. So, his attorney wanted to get him out of jail.
Actor Rick Schroder made an offer to the foundation to loan (not donate) $150,000 to the fund, to bring the total up to $2,000,000 so that the bail could be made.
At that point, Lin Wood's foundation made a deal with Kyle's defense attorney to use that money for bail. The foundation wired the money to the attorney, the attorney used it to make bail, and Rittenhouse was released right away.
Because Kyle's attorney, John Pierce, had the bail money go through his law firm (rather than being posted directly by Lin Wood's foundation), Pierce instructed the clerk of court to return the bail money to Pierce's law firm (not to the foundation). This is how it is supposed to be done, btw -- the person/entity posting the bail is the one who gets it back.
Lin Wood is now also alleging that John Pierce attempted to use the bail money as collateral for personal loans. I don't know if that's even possible, since no bank or lender could know for sure if the bail would ever be returned. But the allegation has been made.
Lin Wood expects that Pierce's law firm will be returning the $2,000,000 back to Lin Wood's foundation (and presumably, the foundation will pay off the $150,000 loan to Schroeder, and the $600,000 general fund will be reinstated, with the $1,250,000 in limbo (help Kyle or use for the foundation's other purposes, such as election fraud issues?).
It's all in his messages from 11/22:

On a bigger picture view, I will say this: Lin Wood has directly accused Vernon Jones of certain things. From what I have seen, Jones deflects and obfuscates when accused. He does not directly answer. Lin Wood, OTOH, has directly answered the Rittenhouse accusations.
None of us are in a position to know who is telling the truth, so we have to take what is known and make our best guess, subject to changing our view if new information becomes available.
Nailed it. Easiest answer is kid is misinformed about complicated process bc he OBV has many more, far more important, issues right in his face. Lin is/has been transparent and consistent. I trust him far more than anyone who still works at Faux!
I also stand with Lin. He has shown us receipts at every angle AND never stopped banging on about election fraud of 2020
IMO, It is/was too soon for Kyle to be in public for an interview. This kid needs some down time with family and a few friends to deal with all he's been through. He is vunerable right now and can't see it.
Absolutely. He’s in real danger of just being used, just needs to keep his head down and focus on those lawsuits
Nah Lin's a mess, the whole situation is a mess. Kyle's a mess (understandably) and the US is a mess.
Stop tolerating messy piles of steaming shit imo. And stop caring and idolizing imperfect human beings.
Idk wtf you get idolizing from. For some edgy fuck who doesn’t care, you sure got all butt hurt at some rando’s opinion. I read/hear what he says, same as you, and take it into account same as any other info; my point is that he’s been consistent, and def more so than plenty of others (esp at faux). Just bitching that it’s all a mess doesn’t make you special or insightful- everyone here knows everything is fubar; and show me someone sounding that alarm (esp in regards to 2020- which is THE ONLY thing that matters) louder and more consistent than Lin. I’ll wait
Trump
Why does every Glowie stink so bad? btw is it the constant cocks in your mouth? If dumb fucks like you and LW aint a mess things wouldn't be so bad right now.
LW like Alex Jones are just repugnantly controlled pawns for the weak minded.
^methinks the lady doth protest too much ^ u you’re a trip, pal. If only we were all like you, it’d all be solved by now!! Oh woe is me!! I solemnly swear god sir, to scream it from the rooftops, everyday to any passerby that “meme dream was right!, it’s all a mess! [then I’ll just start callin em all messes (even when I don’t know jack fucking shit- just like you’ve so wisely taught me) and making sure they know that’s it’s all THEIR messiness (not ours oh wise master) that’s causing all this].” I just wish you’d have come to save me earlier, HELL, if Trump had just come to YOU straight away he wouldn’t have even needed to RUN!——go fuck yourself you grumpy ignorant fool
Not really idolizing someone to merely be skeptical about enormously negative accusations against them.
