Election denier and 'MyPillow Guy' Mike Lindell confirms he's out of money, can't pay legal bills
Attorneys who've been defending MyPillow chief executive and election denier Mike Lindell against defamation lawsuits by voting machine companies are seeking court permission to quit, saying he owes them unspecified millions of dollars and can't pay the millions more that he'll owe in legal expenses going forward.
It’s the latest in a string of legal and financial setbacks for Lindell, who propagates former President Donald Trump’s lies that the 2020 election was stolen from him, in part by rigged voting machine systems. Several big-box retailers, including Walmart, have discontinued his products.
“MyPillow's been decimated. ... We've lost hundreds of millions of dollars,” Lindell said, adding that the other main assets he has left are his home and pickup truck. He blamed Dominion, Smartmatic and the news media, including the conservative outlets Fox News and Newsmax.

Good. /thread
Blame yourself, pal. I'm shocked that garbage pillow netted him hundreds of millions.
its a hundred bucks for a pillow full of memory foam bits. Its nuts!
No, it’s memory foam bits.
Remember the sobakawa pillow? The one with the buckwheat husks!
No but that sounds horrible.
What do you know anyway, Satan's Maggoty Cum Fart?
For your edification...
He advertised to people who will literally buy anything, i.e. Limbaugh and Jones fans.
Too bad he's not the "MyTent" guy, at least he would still have 1 home.
Go cry in your lumpy pillow you traitor!!!
Well I'm sure he's not actually fully out of money. But I would give quite a bit to see him resort to making a pillow fort to live in
Considering what a coke head he is, he probably already tried.
Per who. If he is saying that is all he has left. I call bullshit.
1st it's Giuliani w/ money problems, now this guy. If 'actions had consequences' was this obvious, to everyone, all the time the world would be a much better place. Sadly, these are merely the exceptions.
And they all did this for Donald Trump, a man who couldn’t care less about either of them. May the ghost of Herman Cain haunt them for eternity.
Someone needs to teach these people the difference between being an insufferable asshole and a victim.
They're not the same. FAFO.
He's welcome to an overworked public defender
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think you get a public defender in a civil suit. From TFA it sounds like Pillow Crybaby isn't facing any criminal charges (yet).
Still has his home and a car. Can't complain with that
With no money how long before he loses both? Property taxes come due each year and the car needs plates and insurance.
He can always work the drive through somewhere
Or he could work at Walmart selling pillows
Home and a pickup and an Audi something-or-other apparently. Also from the photo he likes to wear Xian bling ... that gold ring ought to be worth a couple thou-, maybe more if it was melted down and the curse was off. He's probably got drawers full of gaudy crap like the ring and the lapel pin, maybe Smartmatic and Dominion will settle for the jewelry and a few pillows?
If you give them the pillows you'll have to give them more jewelry than if you didn't.
Nobody wants lumpy ass pillows
I bet he’s not out of money, and is just preparing for the loss by trying to see he broke.
I really don't understand his endgame here.
Me either, unless he's just trying to get into the news so fellow MAGA morons will see how completely fucked he is and will financially support him.
Lol, and still ended up without money
More bath salts
