Lawyers bail on MyPillow's Michael Lindell, saying he owes millions in fees
Source: Politico
Prominent election conspiracy theorist and MyPillow founder Mike Lindell faces money woes so serious that two law firms defending him are seeking to dump him as a client.
A Minnesota-based law firm, Parker Daniels Kibort, and Washington-based Lewin and Lewin notified federal judges in Washington and St. Paul Thursday that they are owed millions of dollars in legal fees by Lindell and his company in connection with lawsuits where voting machine makers Smartmatic and Dominion Voting Systems and a former Dominion employee are suing Lindell for defamation.
One of the attorneys, Andrew Parker, said in court filings that MyPillow stopped paying his firms invoices on time this year and has paid only a fraction of them in recent months.
Beginning in August 2023 and again in September 2023, PDK warned Defendants that if they did not pay the outstanding invoices and continue to pay new invoices as they came due, PDK would have to withdraw its representation of Defendants, Parker wrote. Two relatively small payments were made in August 2020 and two relatively small payments were made in September 2023, but these were only a fraction of the total owed
.At this time, Defendants are in arrears millions of dollars to PDK.

You deserve exactly what you got a destroyed business and tossed to the wayside.
Stop whining and trying to get your customers to bail you out.
You are not a businessman you are a gullible cult follower.
