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, saying he owes them unspecified millions of dollars and can't pay the millions more that he'll owe in legal expenses going forward.

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.

“MyPillow's been decimated. ... We've lost hundreds of millions of dollars,” Lindell said, adding that the other main assets he has left are his home and pickup truck. He blamed Dominion, Smartmatic and the news media, including the conservative outlets Fox News and Newsmax.

Blame yourself, pal. I'm shocked that garbage pillow netted him hundreds of millions.

    Someone needs to teach these people the difference between being an insufferable asshole and a victim.

    They're not the same. FAFO.

    1st it's Giuliani w/ money problems, now this guy. If 'actions had consequences' was this obvious, to everyone, all the time the world would be a much better place. Sadly, these are merely the exceptions.

    The fact this fuckwad could just have shut the fuck up and lived in luxury for the rest of his life, but couldn’t resist running his mouth.

    If you can’t pay for a defense- you should get no defense. Welcome to the real world where the rest of us live, ASSHOLE.

    With no money how long before he loses both? Property taxes come due each year and the car needs plates and insurance.

    Home and a pickup and an Audi something-or-other apparently. Also from the photo he likes to wear Xian bling ... that gold ring ought to be worth a couple thou-, maybe more if it was melted down and the curse was off. He's probably got drawers full of gaudy crap like the ring and the lapel pin, maybe Smartmatic and Dominion will settle for the jewelry and a few pillows?

    Me either, unless he's just trying to get into the news so fellow MAGA morons will see how completely fucked he is and will financially support him.

    Ever the pitchman, Lindell, known as the MyPillow Guy, asked viewers of his webcast who wanted to help to call in and buy his pillows, towels and other products.

    I bet he’s not out of money, and is just preparing for the loss by trying to see he broke.

    MyPillow's been decimated

    berdly-actually "decimated" if used correctly means that MyPillow only lost 10% of its company value. berdly-smug
