Delivery company DHL has filed a lawsuit against Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow, for an outstanding debt of nearly $800,000. The lawsuit was filed in Hennepin County, Minnesota this week. According to the Minnesota Star Tribune, DHL claims that Lindell has not paid for pillow deliveries and owes the company money.
Lindell, who is known for his support of former President Donald Trump, is facing financial difficulties due to a series of election-related lawsuits. He currently owes $5 million to a computer expert who disproved his theory about Chinese interference in the 2020 election. The expert successfully sued Lindell and won the case.
In addition to this debt, Lindell is also being sued by Dominion Voting Machines for falsely claiming that their voting machines were rigged in the 2020 election. The company is seeking hundreds of millions of dollars in damages.
DHL is demanding payment from Lindell in the amount of $799,925.59 plus 18 percent interest annually and legal costs. According to court documents included with the lawsuit, MyPillow had entered into an agreement with DHL in 2015 worth $4 million per year. However, MyPillow has been unable to make its payments over the past year.
The new agreement between DHL and MyPillow stipulated that MyPillow would pay off a debt of $818,493 with monthly installments of $32,291.67 starting from April 2024. While two payments were made on time totaling $64,583.34, no further payments have been received since then.
Lindell’s attorney was contacted by Newsweek for comment but did not respond at the time this article was written.
In February earlier this year U.S District Judge John R.Tunheim upheld an April 2023 ruling requiring Lindell to pay computer forensics expert Robert Ziedman $5 million after Ziedman debunked Lindell’s claim about Chinese interference affecting presidential race results during a symposium held last year where he offered anyone who could prove him wrong data-wise five million dollars if they could do so.
