MyPillow CEO and Donald Trump ally Mike Lindell is very upset with his bank after the financial institution told him to take his money elsewhere because having him as a client is a “reputation risk,” according to Lindell revealed during an appearance of indicted Steve Bannon’s podcast, Newsweek reports.
According to the news outlet, Lindell played a recording he purports came from a bank officer at Heartland Financial and Minnesota Bank and Trust who gave him 30 days to close his accounts and take his business elsewhere.
In the audio recording, Lindell was told the bank fears the FBI may subpoena his bank records and want no part of being associated with him, admitting any link to him is “… more of a reputation risk.”
Bannon then “put the phone numbers and contact information of top officials at the institutions onscreen—urging supporters to call and complain.”
Lindell is facing a mountain of legal troubles, including a billion-dollar civil lawsuit filed against him by Dominion Voting Sytems for misinformation that he continues to spread about the 2020 presidential election.
Like former President Donald Trump, Lindell is a key promoter of the conspiracy theory that the last presidential election was “rigged” or “stolen” in favor of President Joe Biden. The allegation has not been substantiated by evidence, and election experts have consistently debunked the claims.
