Mike Lindell’s MyPillow Faces Lawsuit from DHL Over $800,000 in Allegedly Unpaid Bills
The suit filed on Monday in Minneapolis alleges that Lindell’s company owes DHL around $800,000. The parties had reached a settlement but DHL says MyPillow has only paid a fraction of what’s owed.
Conservative activist and election denier Mike Lindell is in legal hot water again, this time with the package delivery company DHL.
DHL filed a lawsuit against Lindell’s company, saying that MyPillow owes almost $800,000 in unpaid bills, did not pay for all parcel delivery services within 15 days of being billed, and violated its contract with DHL, according to court records obtained by USA TODAY on Friday.
The lawsuit was filed in Hennepin County District Court in Minneapolis on Monday.
Lindell declined to comment when reached by USA TODAY on Friday.
Lawsuit filed after settlement payments stopped
In May 2023, DHL and MyPillow reached a settlement in which Lindell’s company agreed to pay $775,000 to DHL in 24 monthly installments, beginning this April, according to the complaint.
However, MyPillow has only paid a fraction of the agreed amount—just under $65,000, the lawsuit states.
On July 2, DHL issued a formal notice of default to MyPillow. The lawsuit now demands approximately $800,000, plus interest and legal fees, which could significantly increase the total amount owed.
Not the first time in court for Lindell
This isn’t Lindell’s first legal battle, as reported earlier this year. U.S. District Judge John R. Tunheim ordered Lindell to pay $5 million to a software engineer who disproved the data Lindell used to allege that China had interfered in the 2020 election.
In April, the U.S. Supreme Court also declined to hear Lindell’s appeal challenging the seizure of his phone by FBI agents in 2022. The phone was confiscated during an investigation into the unauthorized sharing of sensitive information from Colorado’s voting systems.
Additionally, in 2023, Lindell’s defense attorneys in several defamation cases sought permission from the court to withdraw from his case due to non-payment.
According to court records in the DHL case filed this week, Lindell does not have attorneys and is listed as representing himself.
