MyPillow CEO owes lawyers 'millions' — and now they 'can’t afford' to represent him: report
05 October 2023
In a new court filing, MyPillow Chief Executive Officer Mike Lindell's lawyers claim the right-wing conspiracy theorist and his company are "months behind" on legal bills, and that they "can no longer afford to represent him," NBC News reports.
"At this time, Defendants are in arrears by millions of dollars to PDK," the attorneys wrote in the filing, referring to law firm of Parker Daniels Kibort LLC. "PDK is a small litigation and trial firm in Minneapolis, MN and cannot afford to finance Defendants’ defense in the Litigations."
NBC notes, "The firm has been defending Lindell in defamation lawsuits filed by voting machine companies Smartmatic and Dominion Voting Systems, as well as a third lawsuit brought by former Dominion employee Eric Coomer. All three claim their reputations were damaged by Lindell's repeated fantastical claims of fraud around the 2020 presidential election."

According to the report, "The firm said that if it was forced to continue providing legal services to Lindell, the 'future fees and costs will amount to millions of dollars in addition to the millions of dollars already owed.'
