Confirmed 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.
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.
