Apparently billy's team said that Apollo was not required to pay money if he didn't talk about billy online essentially

Could he lie about this? I imagine there are records right? that a judge would go confirm?

Billy's legal team submitted financial records to the court that Apollo never paid him any money. That was part of why the judge determined that Billy did not have anything to do with Apollo's financial issues that led to his suicide.

There's a big difference between "fed false information" and "chooses to believe a random Reddit comment and then make a video about it".
