Mike Lindell’s MyPillow was ordered Wednesday to pay shipping service DHL nearly $778,000 in unpaid bills and interest.
MyPillow had agreed in October to pay $550,000, but then didn’t fork over the money. So last month Hennepin County Judge Susan Burke updated the amount, adding $48,000 in interest and $4,800 for attorney fees owed to DHL.
Lindell had blamed the incurred costs on DHL, saying he had stopped using them in a dispute over shipments. That didn’t wash with Burke, who noted that Lindell had made just two payments toward a plan that had been laid out last April before missing the $550,000 October settlement payment. She ruled that he had broken the agreement and is now “liable for the full amount due,” the Minnesota Star-Tribune reported.
It is far from Lindell’s smallest bill, as judgments piled up after his insistence the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump.
In 2023 he was ordered to pay $5 million to Nevada software engineer Robert Zeidman after he disproved Lindell’s stolen election lie — an arbitration judgment affirmed by a federal judge in 2024. Lindell’s legal team quit in 2023, saying he owed them “millions of dollars.”
DHL sued him in September last year to get its funds restored, alleging violation of contract. DHL alleged in the lawsuit that MyPillow had agreed in a settlement to pay the full amount in 24 installments, but stopped doing so in June.
