DHL sues Mike Lindell for $800,000 debt from pillow deliveries

Delivery service DHL is suing Mike Lindell for nearly $800,000 as his debts continue to grow.

The company said it is waiting to collect the money owed to the MyPillow CEO for the pillow shipment. It filed the lawsuit this week in Hennepin County, Minnesota. Minnesota Star-Tribune reported.

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

The computer expert proved that Lindell's data was inaccurate and won a court case in which he was awarded the $5 million.

Lindell is also being sued by Dominion Voting Machines for hundreds of millions of dollars for falsely claiming that its voting machines were rigged in the 2020 election.

DHL is demanding $799,925.59 plus 18 percent annual interest and attorney fees.

According to the DHL lawsuit, MyPillow has only made two of the 24 payments the delivery company demanded. Documents attached to the lawsuit show that DHL signed a $4 million-a-year contract with the company in 2015, but MyPillow failed to pay off its debt last year.

It states that DHL entered into a new agreement last year under which MyPillow would repay a debt of $818,493 in monthly installments of $32,291.67.

That agreement began in April 2024, and MyPillow made the first two installments of $64,583.34 on time. However, further payments were not made, and in June DHL's lawyers said they would take legal action within five days if MyPillow did not make payment.

Newsweek reached out to Lindell's attorney via email on Thursday seeking comment.

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

The case stemmed from a 2021 symposium where Lindell launched his “Prove Me Wrong” challenge, saying he had data proving Chinese interference influenced the results of the 2020 presidential election. He offered $5 million to anyone who could disprove his data.

Ziedman's numbers refuted Lindell's claim and Ziedman went to court to get the money back.

Following the February ruling, Lindell said War Room Podcast host Steve Bannon said he would appeal the decision and Zeidman “wouldn't see a dime.”

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