Mitchell has appeared in several documentaries related to his achievements in Donkey Kong and Pac-Man, including King of Kong in 2007. But in 2018, he was accused...

“Clearly he wanted to be the knight who slayed the Mitchell dragon,” the judge said. “His lance was not as strong as he thought it to be.”

    From the small amount of info in the article, it sounds like the judge didn’t like that someone “small” was trying to take on someone “big”. I have received similar bullshit sentences in court against banks (you are just trying to take advantage of the big guy so you get nothing), so my first instinct is to doubt the decision was fair

      Uhh… clearly you didn’t even read the article mate.

      According to the judge, the 2020 settlement between Mitchell and Smith never involved any money. Smith was told to remove any YouTube videos and social media posts he made relating to Mitchell. He was also required to hand over copyright of those removed videos to Mitchell, and to stop publishing content about Mitchell or face a $25,000 fine for each incident.

      Jobst had originally claimed that Smith was ordered to pay Mitchell $1 million. Jobst edited the video several times while it was online, once after Mitchell suggested he intended to sue, and again after Smith’s brother confirmed no money had been exchanged in the settlement between Mitchell and Smith.

      Guy claimed Mitchel caused the dudes suicide because of debt, there was zero money involved in the lawsuit, then the guy tried to hide it. Guy defamed mitchel, got caught, tried hiding it.

      And you want to claim what here? Maybe just read the article mate.

        I read the article. Don’t bring reddit attitude here please.

        “Clearly he wanted to be the knight who slayed the Mitchell dragon,” the judge said. “His lance was not as strong as he thought it to be.”

        “He thought he was hot shit but I took him down a peg” kinda vibe. Doesn’t strike me really as “justice”. Too emotional.
