Apparently the defamation suit was focused on Karl's allegations that Billy caused ApolloLegend to commit suicide, not the cheating claims as Karl had been reporting. Being tried in an Australian court for defamation, he really had no chance.
Sources (KF) are saying that the lawsuit was never about the cheating allegations, and was about the ApolloLegend comment the entire time. So Karl seems to have lied in most of his reporting about the case.

Defamation suits usually work out that way. They pretend it was about the frivolous nonsense or obvious jokes to try and sway the public opinion to them, and not the major, actually damaging part. The part that makes the judge not laugh it out of the room from the outset.
Its like the Gawker/Hogan one, where they pretended it was about free speech and funny sex tape and not the fact that they literally ignored a court order saying they couldn't do that.
Any time there's a lawsuit or arrest where you see different leftists all start doing the same "wow, we're literally arresting people for this now?" schtick, 100% of them are lying about it and most of them know they're lying. It's similar to when they do the Innocence Project thing and they start talking about some poor guy who got arrested for smoking weed and leave out the multiple assault/gun felonies.
That Karl Jobst guy always rubbed me the wrong way. He really leaned into acting like an anti-fraudster hard while still somehow coming across as one himself. Maybe it was all his sponsorships or his "absolute legends" bullshit.
tl;dr: Youtuber Karl Jobst and 'pro gamer' Billy Mitchell have been having a back and forth spat for years. Billy is quite the cheater when it comes to records both old and new, and Karl garnered millions of views calling him out. So Billy sued Karl in an AU court (where Karl lives) for defamation. Karl told everyone it was for the cheating allegations, turns out it was for Karl implying that Billy had a hand in ApolloLegend's suicide (another YTer).

Oh, so this isn't the cheating thing.

Same. It's going to be hilarious when he gets caught doing something shady in a speed run.
You just can't beat the King of Kong.
I didn't expect that at all.
Literally who?
