Far-right podcaster Joe Oltmann is suing MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, alleging that he failed to repay a $3 million loan.

Oltmann, who hosts the Conservative Daily podcast, claims in the lawsuit that Lindell secured a $3 million loan from his Villa Pine Drive LLC in August 2023 but didn’t pay him back three months later as promised. “Plaintiffs have made several requests for payments from Defendants since the initial breach to no avail,” the November 3 complaint, obtained by Colorado Newsline, claims.

In November 2024, Lindell came to a settlement with Oltmann and agreed to make daily payments of $10,300 toward the delinquent loan balance but the payments never arrived, according to the lawsuit. The filing also names Lindell’s company, MyPillow, as a defendant.

Lindell, known as the “MyPillow Guy,” and Oltmann spread baseless conspiracy theories about widespread election fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
