Attorneys who’ve been defending MyPillow chief executive and election denier Mike Lindell against defamation lawsuits by voting machine companies are seeking court permission to quit.
Lindell confirmed in an interview with The Associated Press on Friday that he’s out of money and said he understands his lawyers are people who need to make a living.
Attorney Andrew Parker wrote in documents filed in federal court on Thursday that his firm and a second firm representing MyPillow in lawsuits by Smartmatic and Dominion Voting Systems can’t afford what it would cost to represent Lindell and MyPillow through the rest of the litigation. Continuing to defend him would put the firms “in serious financial risk,” he wrote.
It’s the latest in a string of legal and financial setbacks for Lindell, who propagates former President Donald Trump’s lies that the 2020 election was stolen from him, in part by rigged voting machine systems. Several big-box retailers, including Walmart, have discontinued his products.
I dunno, I think he sold a heck of a lot of lumpy jesus pillows. If he didn't decide to start lying about the election he probably would have lived a very comfortable life.
He's not that rich. He was worth like $40 million at his height, he's being sued by dominion for $1.2 billion, and I think there's a second similiar lawsuit in the works. He's fucked.
Why do the rich have a very different definition of "out of money"? To us pesents, out of money means being homeless on the streets and going off of food stamps. A fate I wish he ended up in, and what he should end up in.
I won’t believe it until the Audi he’s driving in the photo is replaced with a Ford Tempo that he’s borrowing from his roommate at the flophouse he has to live in, scraping by by selling junk through an MLM scheme because that’s what’s most apropos for him, the boot-licking Paul Bearer-ass-looking motherfucker
Them being "out of money" is really "nah I feel like just not paying". They have different rules for them. They still have millions in the bank. Must be hard with only that much.
The definition of "cancel culture" has been spread so thin by conservatives that this guy thinks that throwing away all his money into a volcano of easily proven lies is "getting cancelled"
