MyPillow needs to pay its nearly $800,000 tab with shipping company DHL, a Hennepin County judge says.
The Minnesota-based pillow maker owned by Mike Lindell made only two payments toward a payment plan that began in April, court records show. MyPillow then missed a $550,000 settlement payment in October.
As part of the settlement deal, the company is now “liable for the full amount due” instead of the lower settlement sum. Judge Susan Burke affirmed the settlement amount and filed an order at the end of December requiring payment of $777,730.
The case is one of several the company and its CEO are entangled in over Lindell’s support of President-elect Donald Trump’s unfounded claims of election fraud.
MyPillow and Lindell sued several merchant cash advance companies late last year over high-interest loans. Those suits described MyPillow as “a cash-strapped business that needed funds quickly.” Those cases followed eviction filings over late rent.
Three defamation cases related to unproven claims of fraud in the 2020 election are still pending in federal courts, and they involve both Lindell and MyPillow.
Lindell also is still on the hook for $5 million in his “Prove Mike Wrong” contest after a software developer found the data he was offering was not from the election. A federal judge upheld an arbitration award last year; Lindell is appealing that case in the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals.
