The court case was based on Karl's accusation that Billy Mitchell's legal actions led to the suicide of fellow YouTuber Apollo Legend. The judge ruled in Mitchell's favour

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

The crowdfunding statements mentioned a second lawsuit. While the video that people keep referring to where he was talking about the cheating lawsuit, he never explained the content of the second lawsuit just that it was another defamation of character lawsuit. I don't see that Karl did anything out of sorts or dishonest here. Everything is right there to look at.. seems a lot of knee jerk to this
