Mike Lindell says 'cash-strapped' MyPillow took $1.6 million loan from payday lender at 409% interest (Insider) The lawsuit says "cash-strapped" MyPillow borrowed $1.6 million at a "usurious" interest rate.
Lindell has said he's broke. At least three MyPillow loans have ended up in court, records show.
MyPillow owner Mike Lindell said his company was duped into borrowing $1.6 million at a 409% annual interest rate, the latest sign of financial distress for the far-right pillow salesman.
Lindell, MyPillow, and 18 other corporate entities claim Cobalt Funding Solutions and another company involved in the loan, Streamline Advance, engaged in racketeering by extending a high-interest merchant cash advance essentially a payday loan for businesses.
Cobalt, Streamline, and two men named as defendants "took advantage" of MyPillow, "a cash-strapped business that needed funds quickly," the lawsuit said. The lawsuit claims that the September agreement to borrow nearly $1.6 million was stacked against MyPillow and risked ruining the company.

(40,502 posts)His track record indicates he would sign anything to get the money with no real intention of paying it back.
With his track record, how could a loan company give him money with no collateral or co-signer?
