BREAKING: Far-right podcaster Joe Oltmann has filed a lawsuit against MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, accusing him of failing to repay a staggering $3 million loan. The legal action, submitted on November 3, 2023, claims Lindell secured the loan from Oltmann’s Villa Pine Drive LLC in August 2023 but has not made any payments since the initial agreement.
Oltmann’s complaint details that multiple requests for repayment have gone unanswered over the past three months. The lawsuit highlights a previous settlement in November 2024, where Lindell allegedly agreed to pay $10,300 daily towards the loan but has failed to do so. The lawsuit also names MyPillow as a defendant, indicating the company’s involvement in this financial dispute.
The repercussions of this lawsuit extend beyond personal finances. Both Oltmann and Lindell are known for promoting unfounded conspiracy theories regarding the 2020 presidential election, particularly claims about widespread fraud. Oltmann, founder of the far-right group FEC United, gained notoriety during protests against COVID-19 lockdowns and has made controversial claims about infiltrating an “Antifa conference call.” His allegations, which include unproven accusations against Dominion Voting Systems employee Eric Coomer, were amplified by Lindell, contributing to the conspiracy narratives that fueled the events leading to the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Both individuals have faced legal consequences for their claims; a Colorado jury recently awarded Coomer $2.3 million in damages against Lindell. The ongoing defamation suit against Lindell by Dominion remains unresolved, as does Oltmann’s case against Coomer.
Oltmann’s lawsuit seeks not only the repayment of the full loan amount but also the transfer of titles to several properties in Minnesota and Texas that Lindell used as collateral. He is demanding additional monetary damages and attorney fees.
When approached for comment, Lindell stated he was unaware of the lawsuit, as he is currently traveling. The Independent has reached out to representatives for Oltmann for further comments.
This developing story raises significant questions about the financial dealings of high-profile figures in the far-right movement and their ongoing legal battles. The implications of this lawsuit could resonate beyond the courtroom, potentially impacting the reputations and operations of both Oltmann and Lindell in the future.
