"MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell Sued by DHL for Nearly $800,000 in Unpaid Bills Amid Mounting Legal Troubles"

Mike Lindell, the CEO of MyPillow and a prominent conservative activist, finds himself in legal trouble once again. This time, the package delivery company DHL has filed a lawsuit, claiming Lindell’s company owes nearly $800,000 in unpaid bills. According to the lawsuit filed on Monday in Hennepin County District Court in Minneapolis, MyPillow violated its contract with DHL by failing to pay for parcel delivery services within the agreed 15-day window after receiving invoices.

The legal action comes after the two parties had already reached a settlement in May 2023, which required MyPillow to pay DHL $775,000 over the course of 24 monthly installments. Payments were supposed to begin in April, but the lawsuit claims that Lindell’s company has only paid a fraction of what was owed, totaling less than $65,000.

DHL issued a written notice of default to MyPillow on July 2, 2024, and is now seeking close to $800,000 in unpaid bills, along with additional interest and attorney fees, which could significantly increase the amount Lindell’s company owes.

Lindell, who has gained notoriety for his outspoken support of former President Donald Trump and controversial claims about the 2020 U.S. election, declined to comment when reached by USA TODAY. His legal challenges, however, extend beyond the DHL case. Earlier in 2023, Lindell was ordered by a U.S. District Court to pay $5 million to a software engineer who successfully debunked data Lindell used to allege that China had interfered with the election. Lindell’s repeated legal entanglements have intensified in recent years, with significant attention focused on his involvement in the ongoing debates around election integrity.

In another high-profile case, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear Lindell’s appeal concerning a 2022 incident in which FBI agents seized his phone during an investigation into the alleged sharing of sensitive data from Colorado’s voting systems. Despite the growing legal pressure, Lindell has continued to represent himself in court, as his previous attorneys withdrew from his various defamation cases, citing unpaid legal fees.

Lindell’s current lack of legal representation in the DHL lawsuit further complicates the situation. The outcome of the case could have significant financial repercussions for Lindell and MyPillow, a company already facing various legal and financial challenges due to Lindell’s political activism and legal battles. As of now, DHL is aggressively pursuing the full sum, potentially leading to further legal disputes if payments are not made.

With multiple legal fronts to manage and dwindling resources, Lindell faces an uncertain future as his high-profile legal cases continue to evolve.
