Are you going to make a video about how Billy Mitchell is actually a cheater and fraud? If you need more information, contact Karl Jobst. He's done such a great job exposing Billy that Karl is actually being sued by the cretin.

It would actually be pretty cool seeing some make it to level 200 while we've never made it past lvl 10
Imagine realizing he is actually cheating.

Life of Markus it’s the fact he’s such a proud cheater. He cheats and really tries to make everyone think he’s perfect to the point where he believes it himself.
