Notorious arcade gamer Billy Mitchell settles suit over Donkey Kong world record::undefined
Notorious arcade
gamercheaterConfirmed cheater Billy Mitchell? That’s the one to mean, right? The disgraced former record-holding cheater?
But Twin Galaxies’ own lawyer, David Tashroudian, faced misconduct claims of his own after he improperly contacted two witnesses in the case — prompting Superior Court Judge Wendy Chang, who’s overseeing the case, to consider referring him to the State Bar for discipline.
I’m no lawyer, but this seems like small potatoes in comparison to Mitchell’s actively fabricating evidence and lying under oath. Absolutely shameful that after years of litigation TG’s case falls apart thanks to an idiot lawyer. Hope that lawyer gets paid nothing and Jobst’s lawsuit goes better; Mitchell needs to see real consequences for the years of intimidation and lies.
Both sides really botched the discovery process.
They were scheduled for court this coming Thursday.
They, however, reached a settlement that is undisclosed.

No. This is new news that just happened. The 2019 case has been stretched out for 5 years and wasn’t settled until this last week. There’s are several court documents linked in the article dated January 11, 2024.
Can’t wait to see the Karl Jobst update video for this.
Hello legends…
Hello you absolute legends.
I don’t know for sure, but I’m pretty sure Peter Dinklage’s character in Pixels was based on him.
You’d be correct. And he was a cheater in that movie as well.
We should start saying that kid that got the
Pac manTetris kill screen is the greatest arcade game player in history. Just to piss this weird old man with a dyed “beard” and cheap AF looking American flag tie.Tetris? The recent record?
Yeah that one, couldn’t remember which kill screen it was.
The Level 157 kill screen. Level 29 was called a kill screen because it’s nearly unplayable. But around 2019, it was becoming routine for matches to be decided in post-29 play. The level 29 killscreen was jokingly dubbed the thrillscreen. (don’t worry. the name didn’t last.)
NES Tetris is pretty nuts. Here is the 100 lines speedrun record for anyone who may care.
I think settlements reached after a judge has gotten involved should have to be made public; A public judge’s time was wasted which means the taxpayer dollars were wasted… this is how Cosby, Epstein, and many other criminals got to skate free even after giving a deposition where they usually admit to some crimes in some fashion.

Where does it say that? Karl Jobst has been giving regular updates on the case and afaik is still being sued himself.
