Karl Jobst v Billy Mitchell Lawsuit

[J4MES OX4D 10,166]

Not sure if anyone has been following this longstanding legal case, but a massive judgement has finally been awarded today in favour of Billy Mitchell and rightly so it seems. This result was actually a huge shock to people, especially those that had backed Karl Jobst to the tune of over $200,000 through crowdfunding because they believed the case was surrounding Mitchell suing Jobst for false cheating allegations and was a forgone conclusion. However, it has been revealed the civil action brought by Mitchell was actually regarding Jobst, who made implications that Mitchell was responsible for another person's suicide. This is very different from the narrative Karl Jobst made when he pitched to secure funding from supporters and now people are very angry that they have been mislead about the nature of the case. 

 

I have followed this for a very long time and have watched about 15 videos that Karl Jobst had produced prior and during the trial period and I don't think I have seen such an astonishing deception before, or whereby money is obtained under such false, or misleading pretences. Not once was it ever disclosed that he was being sued for the suicide claim and instead he persistently stated that it was a lawsuit based on allegations of cheating and this is firmly what people believed. This is clear fraud by false representation so he will have to pay the backers their money back else he could be liable for that too. Billy Mitchell is one of the biggest pieces of shit con artists in the industry but that pales in comparison to what Jobst has done and I am absolutely stunned. 

 

Karl Jobst was a very popular YouTuber in the speedrunning community with world records, and also covered lots of big stories especially when it came to cheating or fraud in the industry and had over 1m subscribers. He will never recover from this, not just for losing the lawsuit but lying to his supporters for years and taking their money under false circumstances. Mitchell will have a small fortunate reprieve and a huge payday to boot and it'll be paid for by the people Karl conned ultimately. He took the long-time feud too far and has paid an astonishing price with his money and career
