Karl Jobst Legal Defence Fund
Donation protected
Hello you Absolute Legends,
My name is Karl Jobst and I'm a youtuber who often reports on video game cheaters. Last year, Billy Mitchell, star of The King of Kong and proven video game cheater, sued me for defamation claiming damages of $450,000. In the past year alone, this lawsuit has cost almost $200,000 to defend, and will cost at least another $100,000 before it's over.
The situation is already crazy, but has since gotten much worse as Billy Mitchell has sent me another defamation lawsuit for another $450,000. So that would mean I will need to defend two lawsuits at the same time, both being extremely expensive. But then it gets even worse because Billy is threatening me with even more lawsuits.
These lawsuits are unhinged and it is highly likely Billy will ultimately lose, but until we go to trial it requires a lot of money to deal with. I would appreciate any help that you are able to provide, as this affects not only me but my family as well. Obviously it's bad enough to attack me when I've done nothing wrong, but to injure them as well takes things to another level.
Naturally, the more money I am able to raise, the better my legal defence will be. That's just the way it works. If and when I defeat Mitchell in court, he will likely have to pay back a lot of the costs that I incurred. I will use that money to host a grand gaming tournament in his honour.
I appreciate all of the support!
-Karl

Hello you Absolute Legends.
Thanks so much for the support you've given so far. Billy Mitchell ended up backing out of the 2nd lawsuit, which means all funds will go towards helping with the existing lawsuit (and to deal with the inevitable future threats).
I'm hoping to get the trial done within the next few months so fingers crossed it's all wrapped up soon!
