Mike Lindell’s infamous MyPillow company was recently evicted from its Minnesota warehouse over evidence that Lindell was more than $200,000 behind in rent, RadarOnline.com has learned.

A judge in Shakopee, Minnesota evicted the pillow company from its facility this week after a lawsuit was filed by the property’s landlord, First Industrial.
According to the lawsuit, the Lindell-owned pillow company was significantly behind on rent payments that amounted to at least $200,000.
First Industrial claimed that MyPillow had defaulted on multiple months of rent over the past year and currently owed a whopping total of $217,489.74.
“MyPillow has more or less vacated, but we’d like to do this by the book,” First Industrial’s attorney, Sara Filo, said during the eviction hearing this week.
“At this point, there’s a representation that no further payment is going to be made under this lease,” she continued, “so we’d like to go ahead with finding a new tenant.”

That case was in connection to Lindell’s "Prove Mike Wrong Challenge” that he launched in August 2021.
Lindell offered a $5 million reward for anyone who could prove that the data he released "from the November 2020 election” was invalid.
A software engineer ultimately proved that Lindell’s data was invalid, and Lindell was ordered to pay the gentleman the $5 million reward.
"Of course we're going to appeal it,” Lindell said following the federal court’s arbitration ruling last month. “This guy doesn't have a dime coming,"
Lindell was also reportedly forced to auction off more than 700 pieces of industrial equipment – as well as start subleasing the company’s MyPillow manufacturing space in Minnesota – after facing backlash last year from major retailers like Walmart and Bed, Bath & Beyond.
