300,00 and 50,000 awarded, plus interest?

Kangaroo court indeed.

How many times was the video downloaded? How much per "defamatory" comment and download does Karl have to pay LMFAO

 

[Wodanaz]

you know what, as one of the biggest anti billy crusaders, I must admit that I was retarded for supporting a non american.
fuck all other countries, and the people within them. I'm thinkin karl deserves this.

 

[Galeocerdo]

$400,000~ AUD

Man this was wild to watch and Karl really fucked himself by being so cocky and ballsy. You know Billy will now be insufferable going forward.

 

[Wodanaz]

[Axiom.]

The issue for Karl is that he forgot to actually prove that Billy caused the suicide.
A lot of people will know it to be likely true, but without proof to back up that claim its a retarded statement to make publicly without any "In my opinion" caveats.
And that is the only thing the judge is ruling on, because if Billy cheated in an arcade computer game is pretty much irrelevant for the "he caused a suicide" accusation.

No idea who thought up that retarded defense, if it was his counsel they should find another field of work.
I still cannot believe the judge actually ruled like this still, fucking boomer did not understand a single thing that happened in this case on the tech side.

Billy sues a sick guy without a job, destroys his income, guy commits suicide. Making the inference that the lawsuit might have caused that suicide should be protected speech. This is idiotic.

 

[The Un-Clit]

This is some BULLSHIT and that's all there is to say. 300 grand is insane and now Silly Bitchell's ego will know no bounds.

 

[Mike Matei's Penis]

If Billy won in court here I'm sure Elon and Billboard Chris will, right?
RIGHT?

 

[Sugriva]

I would probably Apollo Legend myself if I owed that much money to a retard who cheats at Donkey Kong.

 

[Sinner's Sandwich]

Apollo Legend stated in his last video that he was going to off himself because he had a horrible illness that can't get healed and will disable him over time.

Where did Karl get the info that it was because of Mitchell and money issues? What a retard.

 

[Seedling]

>Billy won his defamation lawsuit
WHAT!?
>On the Australian court
Oh ok yeah that makes sense, those damn kangaroos and their courts

 

[neger psykolog]

$500K AUD down the drain plus how many hundreds of thousands the judge awards. The judge is fuckin tearing into Karl.

Remember kids: whenever an internet personality tries to crowdfund a legal action, make sure to empty your wallets!

 

[Ygolonac]

inb4 our hero Billy in all his grace donates all the money Karl has to give him to Apollos family

I honestly don't even really understand this massive defamation amount of money awarded when it specifically is stated to not have actually cost Billy any money for lost opportunities as he was already ostracized for cheating. I guess it made Billy 400K worth of sad and stressed that people don't like him

Based on what the case was actually about, Karl should have lost ( maybe, it's just random internet people who think Billy contributed to the suicide who gives a shit) but it's a staggering amount honestly.

 

[GrandDriveAuto]

That was quite the smackdown. Ultimately I find it a fair judgement, its true that Karl did make unsubstatiated claims about Billy provoking a suicide and then did only the bare minimum to clear the record. Regardless of how much of a lying bastard Billy is, in this instance he was right.

 

[N Space]

JOBST HAS TO PAY 218,447.27 USD TO BILLY FOR DEFAMATION

Plus legal fees

 

[Sammich]

Mitchell's a lying liar who lies, and his scores are almost all bullshit, but it would be funny (and more than a little infuriating) if a grifting faggot ends up handing Mitchell a series of wins now.

lol, good news.

 

[FamicomGorby]

I thought it would be more of a toss up but the judge tearing into Karl like that was a bit unexpected. I guess this is just how it is in the UK and Australia where suing for defamation is piss easy. Though it was always a bit weird how much Karl spoke about his upcoming litigation when the #1 rule of being sued is shut the fuck up about it when you're being sued.

Karl had said he was prepared for the worst case scenario, but I wonder if that included him being ordered to pay almost as much as he spent on his legal defense to Mitchell.

Also once again, Billy Mitchell is a cheater. He'll probably spin this at conventions that he has been vindicated or something but it doesn't change the fact that he did in fact cheat at fuckin Donkey Kong.

 

[Lapsus of the bepsus]

holy shit its all fucking over for jobst isnt it. divorce arc incoming? despondency? soycide? stay tuned

 

[Alabaster Disaster]

Every time an Australian court sails past my viewport they're making the worst goddamn decision I've heard since the last one.

 

[my penis is on fire]

SpeedrunTroons lost
GDQueers lost
