Billy Mitchel, the plantiff in this case, allegedly held world records in the late 80s and early 90s in the arcade game donkey kong that have since then come under extreme scrutiny.

Karl Jobst is a youtube videogame historian. He made a [1] educational video about Billy Mitchel and his exploits in the late 80s early 90s before being sent court documents stating Mitchel was suing him, leading to more videos being made stating he was being sued.
