The article makes it pretty clear. Jobst always implied the lawsuit was over the cheating allegations, which wasn’t the case. He claimed in one of his videos that Mitchell drove another Youtuber to suicide by suing him and forcing him to pay a large sum of money. As it turns out, that Youtuber didn’t have to pay anything at all. The settlement was just to take his existing videos down and not make any further videos about Mitchell. Honestly seems justified to me and not a good look for Jobst.
I don’t think that is true. In his final video (Source, trigger warning of course) he mentioned his failing health, chronic pain and a perceived betrayal by the speedrunning community. Not a word about the lawsuits in there.
I could be misremembering as I haven’t watched anything about it in a long while, maybe it was in a post? He kind of alluded to recent things caused financial hardships and with his health issues he couldn’t continue? I’ll have to watch the video again
Edit - You were right, he said he had some financial hardships and health issues. Billy ultimately got no money from him, but I don’t think it’s a far leap to suggest lawyers fees may have been part of that hardship
I mean, my money’s on you misremembering, or having that thought implanted by repeated coverage of Jobst claiming that to be the case. After all, any such statement would be Exhibit A in Jobst’s defense. Considering the results of the suit…I’m gonna guess such a statement doesn’t exist.

I see
So did they not commit suicide, or was Jobst just wrong about the exact circumstances leading up to it?
No the dude did, and basically said in his final video that it was because of the lawsuits

Ah, so Jobst was just lying to his audience for years about it all. I always thought he seemed kinda sus.
I hope he makes a video exposing himself for a cheater
