Mike Lindell, now broke, loses lawyers over 'millions' owed in legal fees
MyPillow founder and CEO Mike Lindell has been embroiled in a mountain of legal issues, and it looks like his luck is running out.
According to Breitbart, Lindell is losing attorneys who say they've left his camp after being owed "millions" in legal fees that Lindell reportedly hasn't paid, and might not be able to pay.
Most of Lindell's legal troubles have come as a result of previous statements he made regarding the outcome of the 2020 election, which he swears was rigged by several entities, including the makers of the voting machines used in several states.
Those companies eventually filed defamation suits against numerous right-wing media outlets and operatives, including Lindell.
Breitbart noted:
His attorneys have alleged that he owes them millions in unpaid legal fees. In a court filing on Thursday, the law firm of Parker Daniels Kibort LLC claimed Lindell and MyPillow have fallen months behind on legal payments.
"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 recently admitted that he now lacks the ability to pay them anything.
Mike Lindell hailed his lawyers as being “brave and courageous,” but he says he has no ability to pay them millions of dollars owed for his legal battles with Smartmatic and Dominion.

"We’ve lost everything, every dime," he told NBC News. "All of it is gone."
The once-successful pillow-maker blamed the media for banks taking away his ability to borrow much-needed funds.
"They took away my borrowing because of all you guys in the media," Lindell said.

Even being millions in the hole as a result of his failed quest to prove that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump, Lindell said he'll keep fighting.
Only time will tell if he's ever able to get back on track.
