Mike Lindell officially loses all his lawyers in $5M 'Prove Mike Wrong' cyber challenge

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has been officially notified that he no longer has legal representation in a case in which he was ordered to pay over $5 million for a security contest related to the 2020 presidential election.

Engineer Robert Zeidman entered the "Prove Mike Wrong" challenge and proved that Lindell did not possess data showing that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump.

The challenge rules mandated arbitration for disagreements about the outcome, which Zeidman won. The case eventually went to federal court, where Lindell again lost in February. The ruling included a provision for post-judgment interest on the $5 million prize.

By March, two of Lindell's three attorneys notified the court they would no longer represent him. But the pillow executive moved forward with an appeal anyway.

On June 4, Lindell's final attorney, Cary Joshi, notified the court by email that he was also dropping the case.

"Counsel for Respondent has notified the Court by email that he can no longer serve as lead counsel for Respondent," Magistrate Judge Dulce J. Foster wrote.

Foster ordered Joshi to file a motion to withdraw and to notify Lindell Management LLC directly.

The attorney complied with the directive on Tuesday in a motion noting that Lindell's company had been notified.

Douglas Wardlow, general counsel for Lindell Management LLC, accepted the declaration on behalf of Lindell.

It was unclear if Lindell would retain new counsel in the case. As Foster pointed out, business entities cannot represent themselves in court.
