    I really hope it was Billy that caved and not TG. Dude really is awful in quite a few ways.

    If anyone wants a ridiculously long deep dive on the Billy Mitchell stuff(and is willing to read instead of watching a video), I recommend checking out this. There’s also on that website a huge deep dive into the story about his alleged “perfect Pacman” run, and his history of gaslighting the classic gaming community into thinking he was the greatest gamer ever.

    Oh, Billy Mitchell, you silly bitch, what is Karl going to make videos about now? I guess back to the Minecraft stuff!

    For real though, they settled the case with Twin Galaxy, but the case between Karl and Billy is about something else, so it still continues, doesn’t it?

        He can stop making videos on The Completionist unless you really want to see someone cosplaying as a journalist list things he suspects the guy did but can’t prove (beyond the first video). There’s a reason that an actual journalist would want to get actual numbers behind the golf tournament, for instance, or consult with someone to see if maybe it’s totally ordinary for signatures to be missing from documents because they were e-filed, or perhaps make sure that their legal definitions came from something other than just the first hit that they found with a quick Google, but maybe that timeline doesn’t work for the World of Tanks promo slot he sold for his video. If the “bait” that he fell for in Jirard’s response was as damning as implied, it might be in his best interest to stop making videos about The Completionist.

          Update: Moon took down his video, and posted this, saying among other things “Karl is right: I didn’t engage with the entire body of evidence, thereby getting crucial facts wrong.”
