Mike Lindell, facing financial ruin, risks losing legal support following unsuccessful 2020 election lawsuits: ‘We’ve lost it all.’
Pillow Magnate Mike Lindell Struggles Financially After Election Fraud Claims
Pillow magnate Mike Lindell finds himself in dire financial straits, with millions of dollars in unpaid legal fees resulting from lengthy court battles over his election fraud claims.
Lindell’s legal team recently filed to separate from him, citing the substantial amount of unpaid bills. However, the “My Pillow Guy” insists that he is not intentionally avoiding payment but simply lacks the means to do so, as reported by NBC News.
“We’ve lost everything, every dime,” Lindell lamented. “All of it is gone.”
The law firm representing Lindell, Parker Daniels Kibort LLC (PDK), expressed their difficulty in continuing to represent him, stating that the ongoing legal proceedings would require millions of dollars in future fees and costs, in addition to the already substantial amount owed.
“At this time, Defendants are in arrears by millions of dollars to PDK,” the attorneys at the firm informed the court. “PDK is a small litigation and trial firm in Minneapolis, MN and cannot afford to finance Defendants’ defense in the Litigations.”
Lindell faces defamation lawsuits from election systems companies Smartmatic and Dominion Voting Systems, as well as a separate lawsuit from former Dominion employee Eric Coomer, all related to his claims of election fraud in the 2020 election. Smartmatic seeks $1 billion in damages, while Dominion is pursuing $1.3 billion, according to the Associated Press.
In addition, Lindell is fighting an arbitration court’s decision that he owes $5 million to the claimant of a “Prove Mike Wrong” contest. Lindell had offered a cash prize to anyone who could provide evidence refuting his claims about the 2020 election.
Blaming media coverage for his financial downfall, Lindell claimed that lenders had “canceled” him due to negative publicity. “They took away my borrowing because of all you guys in the media,” he told NBC News.

Despite his dire financial situation, Lindell remains determined to pursue his election fraud claims. He declared to NBC, “I will never stop trying to secure our elections.”
Financial Struggles Impacting My Pillow Business
In July, Lindell admitted to the StarTribune that his company had resorted to auctioning off equipment and subleasing manufacturing space due to significant financial setbacks. The businessman attributed the decline in revenue to the termination of partnerships with various retail networks following his controversial claims about the 2020 election.
“It was a massive, massive cancellation,” Lindell revealed. “We lost $100 million from attacks by the box stores, the shopping networks, the shopping channels – all of them engaged in cancel culture against us.”
Despite these challenges, Lindell remains steadfast in his mission to prove election fraud, even if it means enduring severe financial consequences.
What are the specific financial struggles Lindell is facing as a result of the lawsuits, and how has he been trying to generate funds for his legal defense?
Le Dominion seeks $1.3 billion in damages. The lawsuits allege that Lindell’s false assertions about election fraud have caused irreparable harm to the reputation and business of these companies.
In response to the dire financial situation, Lindell has launched a series of fundraising campaigns to generate funds for his legal defense. He has appeared in numerous media interviews, rallies, and even a documentary to promote his cause and solicit donations. Lindell has also turned to online platforms and social media to seek financial support from his supporters, creating a dedicated page on his MyPillow website where individuals can contribute to his defense fund.
Despite his efforts, Lindell’s financial struggles persist, with some critics arguing that his claims of election fraud and subsequent legal battles are self-inflicted. They accuse him of spreading baseless conspiracy theories, undermining the integrity of the electoral process, and jeopardizing the reputation of legitimate businesses.
Lindell, however, remains steadfast in his beliefs and continues to assert that he has evidence to support his claims of election fraud. He insists that he is fighting for the truth and the integrity of the democratic process, regardless of the financial consequences.
The legal battles Lindell faces are significant not only for him but also for the broader discussion surrounding the consequences of spreading misinformation. They highlight the potential financial and reputational risks individuals and organizations may face when promoting false narratives, especially those related to elections.
As the lawsuits against Lindell continue, it remains to be seen how his financial struggles will be resolved. The outcome of these legal proceedings will not only impact his personal finances but could also have broader implications for the consequences individuals face when making unsubstantiated claims that harm the reputation of others.
In a time where disinformation and misinformation pose significant challenges to democratic societies, the accountability and financial ramifications of spreading false narratives are crucial factors to consider. The case of Mike Lindell serves as a reminder of the potential consequences individuals may face when their actions undermine the trust and integrity of democratic processes.
