Since Mike Lindell has been out of the media after facing several legal controversies due to the financial crisis, people have been speculating about his possible missing.
Just six months before, the landlord of Mike Lindell’s wearhouse in Shakopee, Minnesota, sued him for not paying $200,000 in rent. According to the reports, despite receiving the default notices over the last six months, Mike Lindell has not paid any rent to the landlord.

Consequently, after it became a legal case, the court decided against MyPillow and ordered the warehouse to evacuate.
However, when the court decision was made, Mike Lindell and his representative were both missing. The new eviction added to Mike Lindell’s growing financial problems, which started after his involvement in lawsuits and his continued promotion of false claims about the 2020 U.S. election.
Mike Lindell’s recent advertisement price of the pillow at $14.88 ignited Neo-Nazi controversy!
Mike Lindell, well-known for supporting conspiracy theories, uploaded a recent advertisement of his pillow on his official Instagram account.
In the advertisement post, Mike Lindell wrote the caption, “Sleep like a dream with our Standard MyPillow for just $14.88! Use promo code R235 to snag this deal and wake up feeling refreshed every morning. Don’t miss out on the ultimate comfort upgrade – get yours today!“
The thing that caught people’s attention was the price of the pillow, $14.88, which people have been interpreting as a nazi dog whistle.
According to the research, the number 1488 has an association with white supremacist groups, where the number 14 refers to a white supremacist slogan while the 88 is shorthand for Heil Hitler.
To be more precise, number 14 refers to the phrase, “We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children,” while the 88 is shorthand for Heil Hitler as H is the 8th letter of the alphabet, making 88 a coded reference to the Nazi salute.
When My Pillow founder Mike Lindell set the price of his pillow at $14.88, people started criticizing him.
