Isn't this guy big enough in the Youtubes to actually have the $350K? Does Australian Bankruptcy not audit your assets and look back on when he might have transferred everything out of his name?

Shouldn't of said he was the reason someone killed themselves, then framed it as it being because of cheating accusations in speed running. No sympathy

Yup. For those who didnt follow the story, I think it went down like this.

Skimming the info, what happened was the guy who killed himself also accused Mitchell of cheating. So Mitchell sued him for defamation.

When Apollo committed suicide, he named some people that depressed/pissed him off, but Mitchell wasnt one of them. But Jobst being fraudster expert who likes to expose cheaters, already had a hate boner for Mitchell and also accused him of cheating too.

So when Apollo killed himself, Jobst decided to just lump in Mitchell as part of the group who put Apollo over the edge. So Mitchell sued him.

During this time, he gave followers a notion Mitchell was suing him for cheating allegations, but turns out it was actually for defamation from a bogus claim of contributing to that guy suiciding. So when the court info came out he lost and owes Mitchell a pile of cash, it was for a false claim about the suicide. Nobody knew this because Jobst mislead people and Mitchell never said a thing the whole time.

I would call Billy a cunt since he looks like the type of shit you drop in the toilet two or three times a week but that giant ass nose covering 80% of his face keeps throwing me off.

He seems like such a douche. But I guess he just has that type of "pro wrestler" persona where he knows how to generate hype and build up heat and get people invested in the competition.

King of Kong wouldn't have been half as great if not for Billy Mitchell playing some larger than life villain that you just wanted to see lose so so badly.

A lot of it was theatre for the sake of the movie. That said he is a massive cheater and the movie exposed what a joke Twin Galaxies is/was.

Social media brings out the worst in people. Especially ones who make YT or twitch their career. Always got be be bigger, badder and brasher for clicks.

Jobst has tons of subs and his videos get tons of views. He thought he was untouchable. There's pics of social media chats where someone even asked him if it's better to go through a lawyer when he's talking about his Mitchell case. And Jobst reply was akin to.....Lawyers are assholes, screw em. I post what I want.

In the meantime, Mitchell said nothing about the case.

I don't have anything bad to say about Jobst, just that I find his choices somewhat mind-boggling.

Pretty much this. Billy Mitchell is an asshole, but Karl had no idea what game he was playing here. Next time actually run scripts by a lawyer.
 
As far as I am concerned I have watched a lot of Karl's videos and he is definitely a competent person. He knows how to search for information, makes good deductions etc...

Trying his chance against Billy Mitchell though was a mistake. This guy is like the final boss, you can't go against someone who is so used about all of this justice stuff and expect to win easily. On top of this, the reason Karl was going against Billy wasn't crystal clear and I was quite surprised, like many others.

That being said, I wouldn't personally discredit Karl honestly. He made a ton of super interesting reports on TAS, cheaters, and the retro gaming bubble, that are definitely worth watching. So I hope he can overcome this trial (he has a lot of supporters so I am confident he will). And for Billy, what can you say... Even though he definitely looks like he has a lot going against him, he is just someone you can't easily touch. You are better off staying clear from him.

This is just a cope. Even if Billy cheated at fucking Donkey Kong, nobody cares. At the end of the day it's really not that deep bro. Do you prefer the funny heel character or the self righteous smug weirdo who overplayed his hand by a mile?

Billy makes tens of thousands of dollars per year from appearances at expos, from a reputation built on lies. He is also a litigious bully who ruins people's lives. He expressed delight at the thought of ApolloLegend's death.

Why root for a sadistic fuck, even under the guise of "it's not that serious bro"?

I'm also a high-functioning autistic weirdo, so I guess I feel for Jobst.

Funny story about that photo: Mitchell wants you to believe that in 1999 he was crowned "Video Game Player of the Century" by the CEO of Namco. In fact, the plaque Billy is holding has nothing to do with being "Video Game Player of the Century". Actually, there is zero evidence that such a title was ever bestowed upon him at all. Twin Galaxies then requested Billy produce the plaque in a lawsuit, but apparently it was "lost". Later Billy produced not one, but two plaques (as in built fake ones) and submitted them as evidence lol

For me this was what makes Karl a piece of shit. I watched his video a month ago on why he lost and all it amounted to was him whining for 8 minutes about how other people and news stations made it seem like Karl was being accused of calling Billy a cheater. I get not being able to talk about a case, however he could have came out at any time and said "hey this isn't about me calling him a cheater" and left it at that. He didn't do it because he knew people wanted Billy to burn for cheating and it could possibly get him more money on his go fund me.

I'm shocked by the amount of people here who have no knowledge of Billy Mitchell or The King of Kong.

How did you make it this far in life without knowing about marble hand?

Are you OK? Did it require surgery?

So his win against Karl is "abuse" of the legal system too?

If you're a man of honour? Then yes. How small do you have to be to use any excuse to litigate other people? He might have technically been right seeing how he won the case, that doesn't mean he's morally right. That aside, the man makes a living of being offended, he's a worm.

Addendum, this shit only works in America, good luck getting a judge to bankrupt someone due to something they said in Europe.

Outside of the Billy, court, and youtuber drama. I do like his positive videos about speed running feats. He does a good job getting into the weeds, and explaining why one should be impressed by the accomplishment.
