Lindell: "I've Lost Everything, Every Dime, It's All Gone"
In a court filing Thursday, the law firm of Parker Daniels Kibort, LLC said Lindell and MyPillow are months behind on their legal bills in three defamation cases, and they can no longer afford to represent him.
“="At this time, Defendants are in arrears by millions of dollars to PDK," the filing said. "PDK is a small litigation and trial firm in Minneapolis, MN and cannot afford to finance Defendants' defense in the Litigations."
Lindell on Thursday praised his lawyers as "brave and courageous" and said he would gladly keep paying them, if he was not broke. "We've lost everything, every dime. All of it is gone."
In addition to the massive defamation lawsuits filed by Dominion and Smartmatic, Lindell is still battling the software engineer who won Lindell's $5 million "prove me wrong on voting machines" challenge. An arbitration panel ruled that Lindell must pay, but he has so far refused.
MyPillow chief executive and prominent election denier Mike Lindell said Friday that Fox News has stopped running his company’s commercials, disputing the network’s assertion that it is simply because he hasn’t paid his bills.
Lindell went public by tweeting that Fox, which had been one of MyPillow’s biggest advertising outlets, had canceled him. He said in his tweet that he didn’t know why but that he suspected that the network was trying to silence him. Fox denied that. -snip
Too funny. Keep smoking that crack cocaine, Mikey.
Your Lord knows very well what is in your heart. Your soul suffices this day as a reckoner against you. I need no witnesses. You do not listen to your soul, but listen instead to your anger and your rage.
Apparently he was worth upwards of 500 million prior to 2016, with all his assets and estimated value of My Pillow.
He spent upwards of 50 million of his own money trying to prove the 2020 election was stolen. Close to 1 million a day on his failed "Frank Talk" social media platform.
Now My Pillow is worth 5% of what it was, should he sell and the lawsuits he's facing are HEFTY.
Mike Lindell is a cautionary tale for all Trumpers.
In the wake of the 2020 election, the president of the far-right network One America News sent a potentially explosive email to former Trump campaign lawyer Sidney Powell, with a spreadsheet claiming to contain passwords of employees from the voting technology company Smartmatic, according to court filings." -snip
Nice. Let the lawsuits and criminal indictments fly at One America News.
MyPillow Evicted from MN Warehouse for Unpaid Rent
A landlord for one of MyPillow's manufacturing facilities has asked a judge to evict the Minnesota-based pillow giant from the premises, saying the company has failed to pay more than $200,000 in rent over the past two months
MyPillow, headquartered in Chaska, has received at least four default notices since September at the Shakopee warehouse, according to court filings. The latest eviction notice says the company is behind in payments for February and March, owing Delaware-based First Industrial, L.P. more than $217,000 for rent and other charges for the facility located at 4701 Valley Boulevard South.
Scott County Chief Judge Caroline Lennon said the court would issue the order as soon as it is submitted. MyPillow is still currently leasing a second manufacturing warehouse and outlet location in Shakopee.
A Colorado appeals court has handed a former Dominion employee a significant win, allowing his 2020 election-related defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress claims to proceed to trial against Donald Trump's campaign and "Kraken" lawyer Sidney Powell, among other individuals and entities.
In late December 2020, Dr. Eric Coomer, formerly the director of product strategy and security for Dominion Voting Systems, filed a lawsuit in Denver County against Donald Trump's campaign, two right-wing cable news networks, and a collection of Trump-allied election-deniers, claiming that the defendants conspired to defame him and intentionally inflicted "severe" emotional distress by falsely accusing him of being an "anonymous Antifa activist."
Coomer found himself at the center of the conspiracy after a right-wing podcaster named Joseph Oltmann claimed without evidence that he had infiltrated an antifa conference call in which a Dominion employee named Eric allegedly said, "Trump is not gonna win. I made ****ing sure of that."
Oltmann's theory was picked up by other right-wing media and shared on X by one of Trump's sons. It eventually found its way to the St. Louis-based Gateway Pundit, which published a story that also included a 2016 video of Coomer presenting the security features of Dominion's systems.
Coomer said the accusations led to death threats and harassment, driving him into hiding. So in December 2020, he filed a defamation lawsuit in Colorado against the Trump campaign, two of its lawyers, and myriad right-wing media figures who helped spread the conspiracy, including Gateway Pundit.
Newsmax settled with Coomer in 2021 for an undisclosed amount. Others named in the suit include Rudy Giuliani, Michelle Malkin, Eric "Sucker Punch" Metaxas, Joseph Oltmann, and OAN.
Last month, Oltmann called for executing President Biden. In 2022, he claimed to be organizing a "well-armed" action to install Kari Lake as Arizona governor. And in 2021, Oltmann called for executing the 19 U.S. Senators who voted for a stop-gap bill to keep the government open.
Smartmatic has reached a settlement with One America News Network over claims that the news outlet amplified false claims that the voting systems company rigged the results of the 2020 election.
"Smartmatic has resolved its litigation against OANN through a confidential settlement," said attorney Eric Connolly, who is representing the voting company in the lawsuit.
An attorney for OANN, Chip Babcock, did not immediately return a request for comment. The terms were not disclosed. Smartmatic still has lawsuits pending against Newsmax and Fox News.
Hurting their pocketbook is fine, but I am more intersted in hurting their credibility with their audience. Any settlement should require a 24-hour cycle retraction.
