DHL Sues Mike Lindell Over $800,000 in Pillow Delivery Debts

Courier company DHL is suing Mike Lindell for nearly $800,000 as his debts continue to mount.

The company said it was waiting to collect money owed by MyPillow’s CEO for the delivery of pillows. It filed the lawsuit this week in Hennepin County, Minnesota, the Minnesota Star Tribune reported.

Lindell, a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump, is struggling to keep MyPillow solvent after a series of election-related lawsuits. Lindell owes $5 million to a computer expert after offering the money to anyone who could debunk his theory about Chinese interference in the 2020 election.

The computer expert proved Lindell’s data was false and won a lawsuit to collect the $5 million.

Lindell is also being sued by Dominion Voting Machines, seeking hundreds of millions of dollars in damages after the company falsely claimed its voting machines were tampered with in the 2020 election.

DHL is seeking $799,925.59 plus 18 percent interest per year and legal fees.

According to DHL’s lawsuit, MyPillow made only two of the 24 payments the delivery company demanded. Documents included in the lawsuit show that DHL signed a $4 million-a-year agreement with the company in 2015, but that MyPillow has been unable to pay its debts in the past year.

DHL reportedly entered into a new agreement last year in which MyPillow would pay off $818,493 in debt in monthly installments of $32,291.67.

That settlement went into effect in April 2024, and MyPillow made the first two payments on time for $64,583.34. However, no other payments were made, and in June, DHL’s lawyers said they would take legal action within five days if MyPillow did not make a payment.

Newsweek contacted Lindell’s attorney via email on Thursday for comment.

In February, U.S. District Judge John R. Tunheim upheld an April 2023 ruling requiring Lindell to pay computer forensics expert Robert Ziedman $5 million.

The case arose from a 2021 symposium in which Lindell issued his “Prove Me Wrong” challenge. He said he had data proving that Chinese interference influenced the results of the 2020 presidential election. He offered $5 million to anyone who could prove his data was wrong.

Ziedman’s figures disproved Lindell’s claim, so Ziedman went to court to get the money back.

After the February ruling, Lindell said War room Podcast host Steve Bannon said he would appeal the decision and that Zeidman would “not see a dime of it.”

“I don’t have any money,” Lindell told NBC News. “I have a pickup truck and a house that I live in. That’s it.”
