"He's gone insane": YouTuber claims Karl Jobst plans on appealing judge's decision in Billy Mitchell defamation case
YouTuber Shawn “vanburen20” released a video on April 14, 2025, sharing his thoughts on the now-concluded legal battle between Australian content creator Karl Jobst and American gamer Billy Mitchell. Shawn stated that he'd gathered insider information about this lawsuit from messages on Karl's Discord server before being removed without notice.
For those unfamiliar, the latter had mistakenly claimed YouTuber Apollo Legend’s suicide was linked to Mitchell. Since Karl didn't retract this statement, Mitchell filed a defamation lawsuit against him.
The legal battle did not go in the Australian YouTuber's favor, and he lost $350,000 in the defamation trial. He accused the judge of bias in the court case and reportedly wants to challenge the appeal. Shawn stated in his new video that Karl Jobst was planning to appeal the judge’s decision:
“I’m never talking about the Billy Mitchell-Karl Jobst saga ever again, cause it’s insane. Like, he has gone insane. He really has. He has gone missing right now. Why is he missing, guys? Because he is about to appeal the judge’s decision. Yes, you heard it right. I was in his Discord the other day, and I was reading all the comments. People are really like active in his Discord community, and Karl is there, typing along with everyone.”

Shawn claims that he talked to Karl directly and tried to dissuade him from appealing the decision. In response, the latter allegedly said:
“Yes, it’ll probably cost more money because of legal fees and all that stuff.”
Shawn has stated that he was removed from the Discord server during his conversation with Jobst and was unable to take screenshots as proof.
vanburen20 claims Karl Jobst “really pushes people’s buttons”
YouTuber vanburen20 claims that Karl Jobst is putting unnecessary stress on his family due to the lawsuit and could lose more money. The content creator said that this was his last time covering the lawsuit. Shawn also made comments on Karl’s personality in his recent video around the 9:15 mark, saying:
“He [Karl] lost… like a lot, in my opinion. Like it wasn’t even close. The judge… I don’t think the judge even really cared for Karl. I think Karl… the way he presents himself, but… by the way he talks is just so cocky, like so cocky and he really pushes people’s buttons. And he probably pushed the judge’s buttons as well. The fact that he is even thinking about an appeal is just laughable to me.”
Karl Jobst has claimed the judge was biased in the lawsuit and promised a new video explaining the situation. He also faced criticism recently for using artificial intelligence (AI) to predict if he would win the defamation lawsuit. On April 15, 2025, the content creator issued an update saying that the aforementioned video was delayed and should be out in a “day or two.”
In other news, Adin Ross called out the internet for peddling “false news” about his beef with Kai Cenat. He said that he had nothing but love for his fellow content creator.
