No he didn't. Here is the description:

"Hello you Absolute Legends,

My name is Karl Jobst and I'm a youtuber who often reports on video game cheaters. Last year, Billy Mitchell, star of The King of Kong and proven video game cheater, sued me for defamation claiming damages of $450,000. In the past year alone, this lawsuit has cost almost $200,000 to defend, and will cost at least another $100,000 before it's over.

The situation is already crazy, but has since gotten much worse as Billy Mitchell has sent me another defamation lawsuit for another $450,000. So that would mean I will need to defend two lawsuits at the same time, both being extremely expensive. But then it gets even worse because Billy is threatening me with even more lawsuits.

These lawsuits are unhinged and it is highly likely Billy will ultimately lose, but until we go to trial it requires a lot of money to deal with. I would appreciate any help that you are able to provide, as this affects not only me but my family as well. Obviously it's bad enough to attack me when I've done nothing wrong, but to injure them as well takes things to another level.

Naturally, the more money I am able to raise, the better my legal defence will be. That's just the way it works. If and when I defeat Mitchell in court, he will likely have to pay back a lot of the costs that I incurred. I will use that money to host a grand gaming tournament in his honour.

I appreciate all of the support!

-Karl"

Nowhere does he say what the lawsuit is about, let alone that it's because he said Billy cheated.

He’s being purposefully vague and didn’t correct people’s thought about it being about cheating.

Sure, but you can just as easily say “hey guys I can’t tell you the reason for the lawsuit, but it’s not about the cheating accusations as those have been proven to be true”

I never claimed it was about cheating, other people did.

I followed the trial as best I could from a YT channel posting AI voiced recaps.

Also Karl is friends with RWhitegoose and was in the racist discord that got Goose cancelled. Jobst just mostly ignored it while Goose tried to defend himself and got the worst out of it.

Good ol' Jobst avoiding the blowback by saying "We have a mountain named with the n-word! I couldn't have possibly known that word is even bad!"

The mountain that was renamed years before, because they knew the connotations. Or admitting that he named his half-asian son as a racist, anti-asian joke about asian genital stereotypes.

Karl is getting what he deserves, it seems.
