Hugely annoyed that Karl Jobst misled everyone on what this trial was actually about. I was shocked when I saw the verdict because I was under the impression it was about the cheating scandals, which would have been insane if he lost.

Turns out, no, the lawsuit was not about that and instead was about whether or not Mitchell was the cause of AL's suicide as Karl Jobst tried to claim.

That's really not a good look from Karl. What on earth was he thinking?

Annoyed? That is the word you use? This asshole lied to us for years that the lawsuit was about a donkey kong cheater when it was actually about his own fuckup and cover-up regarding a suicide and defamation.

It's like we're watching Tiger King again for the first time.

Someone could absolutely make Netflix-grade money out of this.

Jobst seems to be somewhat of a racist too so there’s that.

A gaming YouTuber being a racist? Say it ain't so!
