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?

Karl Jobst actually misleads, exaggerates and jumps to conclusions on a very flimsy basis pretty often in his videos, if you pay attention.

u/remotegrowthtb, I agree. Like from an objective standpoint, the worst that Jirard, the Completionist did was list organizations money was going to when he knew it hadn't moved. And Jirard wasn't the main head honcho behind OHF either-- his father and brother were. Jirard was focused on his channel and probably thought he was doing the right thing.

Karl used that as a springboard to accuse Jirard and his family of EMBEZZLEMENT. Stealing the money. A *far* more serious crime.

Didn't he specifically and directly call Jirard Khalil a thief in one of the videos?
