MyPillow CEO says he's broke. His lawyers say they can't work for free anymore
On Thursday, the lawyers for MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell filed a motion to quit representing the big Trump ally in the defamation lawsuits—plural—that he is facing. The lawyers claim that they are still owed “millions of dollars” in legal fees. The MyPillow lawyers from Parker Daniels Kibort and Lewin & Lewin say Lindell has not even made the smallest of payments on his legal bills since July.
According to the filing, the law firm “was informed by Defendants that they are not able to get caught up with or make any payment on the large amount they owe in arrears nor pay for anywhere near the estimated expense of continuing to defend against the lawsuits going forward, including either the legal fees or litigation costs.” According to the firm, they cannot afford to continue to work for free.
Lindell was complimentary of his lawyers but said he is broke, telling NBC News, "We've lost everything, every dime. All of it is gone." Thoughts and prayers.
