Conservative businessman and MyPillow founder Mike Lindell has disputed reports that his business lost $5 million over a recent court order.
Lindell specifically took issue with a statement made by a news outlet that MyPillow had to pay $5 million for a “Prove Mike Wrong” challenge related to the 2020 presidential election. Lindell said in a video published Tuesday he had spent “the last three hours” talking with reporters because they thought “they got dirt on MyPillow.”

“MyPillow did not lose $5 million dollars,” said Lindell. “They’re not the ones even involved, it’s called Lindell Management that put on that event, and we have taken the guy to court. They didn’t win $5 million dollars.”

Lindell’s statement comes after he was ordered in April to pay $5 million to a computer and software expert who succeeded in refuting his data related to 2020 election fraud claims, according to a decision from a private arbitration panel. He has long repeated former President Donald Trump’s claims that the most recent presidential election was “stolen,” and promised an award to any cybersecurity expert who could disprove his data that alleged in part that Chinese interference caused the election results to favor then-candidate Joe Biden’s victory.
Lindell stated in the new video that the winner had “three crooked arbitrators” rule in his favor.
“This guy lost right out of the bat, then he went to an arbitration, and he says he won, and then we’ve taken him to court, so that’s one piece right there,” said Lindell.

The report Lindell cited stated that industrial equipment from MyPillow is currently up for auction online, which includes trucks, heavy-duty equipment, office equipment, and sewing machines. The auction comes after several brick-and-mortar stores, such as Walmart and Bed Bath & Beyond, stopped carrying his items.
Almost 850 items are up for bid in the auction, which is set to end on July 18 at 7 p.m. The location of the auction is listed as 4701A Valley Industrial Blvd. S. in Shakopee, Minnesota.
