Youtuber who became obsessed with a cheater, claimed he was the cause of another gamer's suicide and barely posted a retraction buried at the end of a random youtube.

Then he got sued for lost income because of that claim and hired a lawyer team that in no way defended it but simply pointed fingers and shouted "cheater" as much as they could.

I also think he misrepresented the lawsuit to his audience

Oh, he 100% did. I think a lot of his viewers are going to be surprised when they learn of this news, especially since these kind of YT laywer or reddit explanations are really getting to the meat of the matter and he doesn't have a video out there to counter. I always thought his ego was going overboard, especially as he stepped into "journalist" mode. Still has great speedrun/cheating videos, though.

Yeah, this is really weird because all he had to do was stand behind his evidence gathering and reporting while also saying "guys, there is no evidence that Billy caused someone to commit suicide, no matter how scummy I think he is." It would not have changed anyone's opinion of him or his other videos.

He even crowdfunded his defense while lying to everyone about what he was even defending

Billy mitchel somewhat. He was known for being the gigachad who had the highest score in donkey Kong, whatever the hell that meant. Dude based his entire life off of that somehow then it was discovered he used an emulator to cheat.

He'll probably have a bit less success trying to crowdfund the lawyer's fees he's gonna have to pay on top of the judgment. Dude is probably on the hook for like 1.5m dollars all told.
