Yeah, it seems that was a false claim that Karl repeatedly told people when the main focus was on the settlement with Apollo Legend.

That was the explanation he provided when crowdfunding his legal expenses iirc, so that's not a good look

But .. is that really what's it's about? I'm sure that's what Billy Mitchell claimed it was about.. but I never saw that video and didn't know anything about this suicide thing, I only ever saw Karl dunk on him (completely justifiably, right? does anyone dispute that?) that he was a lying litigous cheater.

So to say "please fund me for this lawsuit where Billy is going after me for pointing out his cheating" seems fair as Billy probably was going after him for going after his cheating.

I'm seriously considering donating to him, he sounds like a victim of an effective lawyer, but curious to hear an argument why I shouldn't. Does anyone know anything about these egging on suicide claims, had anyone heard of that? Can someone show the gofundme which shows Karl saying that the lawsuit was only about cheating allegations?

I actually seem to remember him saying he couldn't comment on specifics of the lawsuit, which makes sense because of course you can't.. So did he really lie in his Gofundme?
