A Minnesota judge has ordered MyPillow to pay nearly $778,000 to package delivery service DHL for unpaid bills and additional costs, according to The Associated Press. The lawsuit also named MyPillow founder and conspiracy theorist Mike Lindell.

Hennepin County Judge Susan Burke signed the order in December. It stated that MyPillow had agreed to pay over $500,000 to DHL in October but failed to do so. Additionally, MyPillow did not send a representative to a hearing last month, where DHL sought to collect the funds. The court’s order includes $48,000 in interest and more than $4,800 in attorneys’ fees.

Mike Lindell’s Defense Amid the Lawsuit

Following the filing of the lawsuit, Lindell, a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump, claimed that MyPillow stopped using DHL over a year ago due to disputes over shipments. He maintained that DHL was responsible for the disagreement.

Lindell has gained notoriety for promoting baseless election fraud claims about the 2020 presidential election. These claims have also led to separate defamation lawsuits against him and MyPillow by voting machine companies Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic.

MyPillow’s Financial Woes Continue

In October, Lindell’s attorneys defending him in the Dominion Voting Systems defamation case filed motions to withdraw, citing millions of dollars in unpaid legal fees. Lindell later confirmed to The Associated Press that he was out of funds but understood his attorneys’ decision to end their services.

The financial struggles related to the MyPillow DHL lawsuit and other legal battles underscore the challenges Lindell faces as he contends with mounting debts and legal responsibilities.
