@@brian8507 You should probably leave all the thinking to grown ups before you end up a miserable liar, like those that Karl is covering, due to defending silly incorrect beliefs.
anything spread about this "witness" should be highly discarded and Karl should be reprimanded for pretending that personal bullshit has nothing to do with his "testimony" to the courts. Karl needs a kick in the balls. hopefully if he still has any, it might hurt enough for him to refocus on the court case and not the proclivities of some dude none of us know about. what Karl did was fucking bang out of order.
Hey Karl, loved the video. The social media rabbit hole section was particularly mind-boggling -- it felt like a fever dream. I just wanted to say thank you. You didn't have to make a statement in the video like that for my sake. You owe me nothing, yet you still went out of your way to offer a deeply kind gesture. It's been genuinely good talking to you, and you certainly have my respect after all of this. Keep fighting the good fight out there! And thanks again.
Hey Moon, I hope the mob quiets down. You don't deserve hate, just a bit of criticism, and you've done all the right things. Hope things go smoothly for you going forward!

@@milhousevanhoutan9235Nope, they let him retire and didnt ackowledge it at all. Spineless pieces of shit, every school administration everyywhere in the world.
Unfortunately, I doubt they will do anything unless this video goes into mainstream news or something. Universities have covered up or not acknowledge what their staff or professors have done before.
@@milhousevanhoutan9235 He’s not working there any longer. That’s what the “emeritus” in his title means: that he’s retired. Universities typically keep professors emeritae on the faculty list as a sign of respect for retired professors.

When you said 'his expert testimony was only 2 pages long' I nearly spat out my tea. For some context, for anyone who doesn't know: I had to contact a vet about providing expert testimony for a small case a few years ago, and asked what that would look like. They said it would be a minimum of 30 billable hours, with a report detailing all work conducted, findings, opinions, conclusions, and references for all research & work done. They estimated this would be between 10-20 pages of writing, plus supporting evidence & results, depending on what was needed to draw an accurate conclusion. Thankfully I didn't need their service in the end, else I'd know what the report actually looked like, but this hopefully puts their 2 page report for a large lawsuit like this lawsuit into some context.
As a lawyer, most of expert witnesses is shopping around for the highest credentialed expert who agrees with you. If they don't agree with you, you go onto the next. Lower tier experts will often shift their testimony to match yours so they can get paid. Then the other side hires a similar expert, they battle it out, and a jury picks which one they believe more. The sugar baby stuff would never get admitted into trial,as its irrelevant, so he happened to pick one of the careers where having a disgusting and clueless social media presence didn't destroy his career immediately.
how disturbing. I mean, sounds like rent-a-witness. sounds dirty. Sounds like a wild west, terrifying dystopian nightmare. second point, when he started out, I'm certain he didn't have his head in the online gutter in the same way as he did right before his retirement. So while I can grok that little by little, he was able to have his cake and eat it too, I imagine that the majority of college professors are utterly astonished and should-be-angry that here is a hyena with a job where they fire dogs
@@Oxxyjoe there is something called a "daubert motion" basically the other side can say "we think your expert witness has no idea what they are talking about", and explain why. If the judge agrees, their testimony is excluded. For expert witnesses if you lose a daubert motion even once, your career is over. So there is some recourse and it would be a very, very bad idea for an expert witness to be dishonest. Just like there are unethical lawyers, there are unethical expert witnesses, but many are also professionals who are going to tell you what they actually think regardless of whether it supports their case. They'd have to be very greedy to change it, since even analyzing the case to form an opinion is something they would need to be paid for.
@@demonicspire1345 your confidence is reassuring. But it seems like there's also something to do with, if "this will end your career" is the recourse, then, that probably doesn't actually occur much, because it's too severe. It's too severe to be used, and therefore doesn't get used enough. That is, based on your description of it. I get the jist, however. They're under the microscope and have to be excellent... but if everything were actually that perfect, would we have the problems we have? Clearly we have an expert witness who just says whatever right here bro
@@Oxxyjoe the court doesn't care if it ends someone's career, and your opponent sure as hell doesn't care. Like other people are saying the expert witness is not really the issue in this case, its the TG lawyer royally screwing up and potentially getting disbarred for misconduct.
Its crazy how these older people, for whatever reason, don't ever seem to understand that EVERYONE can see the things they do when on social media.......
@@gaminggoddess85 Snopes rated Joe Biden wearing a hard hat backwards as false... Until they got blasted by Twitter when it was 100% clear Joe Biden was wearing his hat backwards. Their correction wasn't even an admissions of error. They basically said: "By this specific definition of "backwards" it is backwards so we changed it to true."
> 2 pages > Expert testimony Something isn't lining up. Those testimonies are usually in depth, and with very good reason. The expert KNOWS what they are talking about and can explain eventualities or possible other causes. 2 pages isn't very confidence inducing.
If the case had not settled, he would have been deposed, and both sides would've asked him followup questions. The settlement came before they had an opportunity to do that, so we only have his sworn affidavit. Even so, two pages does seem a bit on the short side.
I mean, the entire crux of his argument was "well, when any number parts degrade, it's POSSIBLE that they could malfunction in the exact way a MAME would appear." That was as close as he was going to get to being able to explain the irregularities.
The report basically saying; Billy's video anomaly seemingly not possible to happened, our experiment to emulate it also failed, but it COULD still happen with right situation Yeah, really bs
There should definitely be an investigation into the ethics of Billy's lawyers. Remember the fake plaque that was submitted into evidence? That alone should get the state bar association on their behinds.

I looked him up on rate my professor and apparently he's not even good at that 💀. Here's a review from one of his previous students: Don't choose him. Choose the other guy for this class. He just read PowerPoint slides unrelated to Unity every single class... And he's rude to students. His TAs even care more about this class than he does."
I went to USC and had this guy as a professor. He was super weird around students generally and I remember multiple girls wanted to report him to student safety services
I guess it’s not the first time a university would end up hiring a legitimately crazy person. It’s really sick. Honestly I just don’t like the thought of my money going to people like this, so I don’t give universities the assumption of having high prestige.
12:38 That page lists him as “professor emeritus,” which is the title for professors who have retired their faculty position but may retain some responsibilities. For example, they may continue to oversee graduate students or take part in defenses, among other things that depend on the university and its size/needs. In short, his appearance on the faculty page accurately reflects the situation as you describe it, essentially listing him as “former professor” with caveats that are more or less unique to that position.
@lokthok Yes, but those students would have to elect to work with him. Either way, my comment is just to say that Karl misunderstood the page he showed, not to say anything regarding his behavior.
Actually no, the analogy works exactly right as it is. You are made up of 7 Octillion (billion billion billion) atoms each of which individually can in theory pass thru a wall in the exact right circumstances if every part of what makes them up phases thru in just the right way to miss all the space taken up by other atoms in the wall So for you to pass thru a wall, all 7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms in you need to line up just right to let you pass thru the wall Its exactly the same as the VHS replicatin the same mistake many times over and only in that one frame with zero other graphical glitches to warn as to a dirty VCR head
I mean, you *can* literally do that with non-zero probability. Just that the probability is so close to zero that it would never happen in countless umpteen lifetimes of the universe, but there is a verified physical mechanism that theoretically allows that (even macroscopic objects have a smeared wavefunction). The videotape error? There is not even a theoretical mechanism to support it. You can not create a mismatched NTSC video frame using an ordinary VCR no matter how it malfunctions, because a VCR has no framebuffer, it has only access to the one instance of time it is copying at that instance of time. It can't pull in elements from the previous or next frame. Or even previous or next *line.*
This is my favorite Karl video, possibly ever. It starts out so slow and methodical, to the point where it's almost boring. Karl finds Billy Mitchell's expert witness has a weird Instagram. But I mean, a lot of older guys have weird social media presences. Multiple plot twists follow. The lawsuit is, quite frankly, intense. It's every bad sugar daddy scenario, rolled into one.
At first it sounded like the guy just had some weird fetishes, and there's nothing wrong with that, but the stuff mentioned in the lawsuit goes well beyond that.
This story started with a guy forty years ago playing a video game. Now we're observing a college professor soliciting young women. I keep thinking it can't get any more weird and I keep being proved wrong.
straight from USC webpage "The ONE USC Safety Vision imagines a USC where everyone feels safe, respected and protected from crime, while recognizing that this can be achieved only by addressing the diverse experiences and needs of all USC students, faculty, staff and neighbors." hmmmmmmmmmm
That’s about as consistent as most Universities protection rules. Like the recent federal case where Universities admitted they don’t protect Jewish students from calls for their genocide.
@@drstrangelove307 lmao wat so you can go full austrian painter (in the name of allah) but if you say that not all historical white people were monsters then you're enemy number 1? US universities have the strangest, most inconsistent values.
I'm glad VHS is gone. No longer shall we suffer recording one thing only for it to show something completely different, such as this one time when I was recording me defeating the final boss without getting hit even once, but the VHS was a bit dusty and thus showed me taking some damage and losing a few lives. Real embarrasing!
this is exactly why D-VHS should have been more popular, D-VHS proves that the format can be really good but not a lot of people know about it, it's sickening
While I was in college, one of my professors "retired," but still worked in the same building, just as a researcher instead of a teacher. I guess it's common place in the US for professors to keep working after they "retire," and still be considered faculty. The big problem here is I saw that professor several times after his last class, so Dr. Zyda is likely still frequently interacting with students
University professors that have been there for awhile have tenure, so it's hard to outright fire them. The idea is to protect professors who publish politically unpopular papers, but it seems to protect downright bad professors at least as often.

When you spoke about this guy being a perv online, does this extend to his relationship with students? I immediately thought, "that's a stretch, c'mon." But then you brought up the lawsuit & I thought, "oh, no, seriously? I can't believe this 'expert witness' would stoop so low." Then you showed the plaintiff statements that went on about his behavior. This guy is perfect to represent the "facts" of Billy's innocence.
Being a perv online often translates to real life. It all depends on the frequency. It's about frequency. There's a threshold of normal behaviour, if you engage in this kinda thing that often it's bound to be part of your personality.
@@psylencecy Exactly. I was just thinking about this the other day, because it's not fair to judge someone if a friend of theirs turns out to be a scumbag, so how is that saying then still true? So here's what i got: Statistically speaking it's a numbers thing, obviously, but for people personally it seems obvious to me that anyone can make a mistake of trusting the wrong person. We can't read minds, we don't do through background checks on everyone we know and instead give people the benefit of the doubt unless or until they F it up, and we're all sensitive to plausibility and charm, and scumbags often necessarily rely on charm and deception to compensate for a lack of substance an worth. But when someone is total scum, they tend to attract other scumbags and push critics away, so they're left with other scum and with vulnerable people they can victimize/baffle/lie to. On the opposite of that spectrum are people who want to learn and grow and they'll have critical people close to them because they value each other. That encourages them to be around each other, and it has the added benefit of deterring scum bags because their biggest enemy is knowledge/honest criticism. So in conclusion: scumbags are inevitably dumb F's who don't grow but only learn how to deceive and gaslight more effectively, because everyone who could encourage them to be better is pushed away and/or abused by them. Life is so much easier and less harmful to people around you when we're empathic, kind, and sincere. I mean, how often would you think that someone will do something nice for that lying scumbag just because they want to do it? How often does someone surprise you with an act of kindness because someone thought about you? You don't have to ask for a lot I imagine. Most people don't. This guy though, if he doesn't abuse a girl to force her, she wouldn't even smile at him. So yeah, you can tell all that just by the friends he keeps close. Same for Billy. You know that he's a lonely lying sack of manure who has to rely on other liars to keep up his facade and to stay in his comfort zone/fantasy land, where he is somehow the good guy with great value. Kind of sad if you think about it. Maybe he'd be a totally different man if once in is life he had valued and respected just one person so much that he'd want to be the best he can, just because that other person deserves nothing less, like most people do. Sorry this is so long, it probably doesn't interest anyone one bit. I like thinking about these things and putting it to words. I think that a lot of people intuitively know how it works. And we don't need to put it to words if it just works and we know what we mean with just a short generalized sentence. I love looking critically at generalization and see if they work and how exactly, and what the essences/general principles of those are. i also love the sweet irony in how I am an extreme reductionist and I need 5 paragraphs to get to the core principles and someone else can just intuitively say the same thing in just one sentence 🤣
@@stylis666omg you weren't halfway through when you said "in conclusion" haha. Yeah it feels good to get it out there, I get it, but too long for me 😂
Zyda is the essence of "make skin crawl." I can easily imagine him walking into a room and seeing everything in it, right down to the microscopic organisms, freeze in it's tracks.
12:36 He's listed as "Professor Emeritus" which is an honorary title; he is no longer working there (at least officially.) I'll bet you dollars to donuts that getting that title was a condition to getting him to leave his tenure amicably, otherwise the university would have probably had a harder job keeping it under wraps.
"Listen, Michael, there's been a lot of heat, lot of rumors going around recently, and uh, the school board talked about this and well, we're gonna have to let you go." You're going to fire meeeee?! This is ridiculous! "Please don't make a fuss about this, Michael." I've been here fifteen years!! "Look, we'll give you 'Professor Emeritus' on the page." [instantly calm, rubs chin] Professor Emeritus... hm... I can tell that to all the sugar babies... "Uh, yeah, whatever you say man, just, can we do this quietly?" [waving him off, walking away, still rubbing chin] Nice to meet you, Destiny. I'm Michael. I'm a Professor Emeritus... Yes, yes...
Holy hell. I'm a university employee as a lecturer and student adviser and I am 100% certain that if I were caught doing even a tenth of what Zyda's doing, my ass would be rightfully booted in no time. I cannot even imagine looking at my students in that way. It's almost the same mental block as one has with family members; it just doesn't happen to me, it's not even a remote possibility.
Yup, all students go to Uni's with the hope to learn and/or to further their career prospects. Then, for a person in power who is not only their senior in age but also in experience to plan and execute such vile acts makes me seeth in anger.
@@bakedbake To be fair... I do not know. Makes no sense at all, maybe I intended that sentence to go in a different direction and did not properly proof read. Thank you for the heads up.
I’ve been a graduate student in a PhD program at an American University for a number of years now. I’ve gotten to know the professors, the culture, and the types of power dynamics at play. Unfortunately, most of what you describe regarding the institution brushing things under the rug don’t really surprise me at all. Frankly, the most surprising thing is his professional twitter account staying so creepy for so long-I’d have expected a Department Chair or concerned colleagues to tell him to keep that on personal accounts at some point, probably. But Universities are extremely perception-conscious and try to avoid attracting criticism. They instinctively brush things under the rug as long as they can to maintain the front they need to. At most, a problematic faculty member will be subtly sidelined from standard responsibilities if their colleagues find them too creepy or weird, or they will be allowed to retire, because that’s much easier than to attempt to fire someone with tenure. This professor’s behavior is definitely extremely unusual, strange, and creepy, if not criminal. But unfortunately his institution’s response is entirely par for the course.
While true, it’s worth noting that it’s very hard and borderline impossible to remove a faculty member from their position. Especially one who is on the verge of retirement. I’m not sure what the situation is with this department, but in my time as a grad student I knew several older professors who barely taught any classes because students complained about them or their material was so outdated. I TAed for a professor who gloated that he had used the same exam for 20+ years, completely ignoring any and all of the advancements in his field. On the opposite side of the spectrum, I have seen Twitter posts come into consolation prior to tenure approval. About 8 or 10 years ago at a school in IL a professor’s job offer was withdrawn due to his comments on twitter regarding Israel. So it’s not just an issue of the administration not acting, it’s also that their capacity to act is extremely limited by the protections in place within the faculty system. And there are roundabout ways to keep professors away from students even if they ostensibly retain their title and position as before. Which isn’t to say this is all fine and dandy. And I’m sure know all of this yourself, but the other readers may not. But it’s worth noting that the issue goes beyond the capacities of the department or faculty members. Tenure doesn’t dissolve in the face of creepy twitter behavior because it wasn’t designed with that sort of problem in mind. Unfortunately, I doubt that system will ever change, and is more likely to be removed or replaced entirely due to how broken the university system is overall.
@@loldoctor You’re absolutely correct, and I’ve had a number of similar experiences to those you describe, myself. Hence my comment about getting/allowing the professor to retire being the easiest way for the institution to effectively get rid of them. But my point remains that universities try to handle these problems in-house (which, due in significant part to tenure, they tend to do poorly), and try to avoid letting any embarrassing details get out to the press. They think they are defending their reputation and the perception of their institution, but in fact they are simply dodging any accountability.
This is a general university issue. Uni politics, no matter which country, is a cesspit at worst of times and a ball of spiders at best of times; some places a tad better, some a lot worse. It’s in how Unis are constituted; who gets to vote for what, who can fire whom, who decides that you get into a position where you get to do these things - it’s very network-y, intransparent (commenter loldoctor actually hinted to some of these issues; you won’t get tenure if the deciding faculty profs don’t want you; this can be purely due to your political opinions or world view - that’s… obviously an issue! Same goes the other way around; full tenure profs have been fired for having the wrong opinion on politics - and I’m not talking about extremist garbage; completely normal other side of the coin opinions) and disconnected from the ground floors.
This is definitely true. Not American but from Europe, and I've had similar experiences. An older professor was openly misogynistic towards a classmate of mine - it was brushed under the rug and he 'retired'. Another professor was recently moved from another uni in the country, after the first lecture of his me and a couple of mates went to a pub and the new professor forced himself along. OK, we're all graduate students with big aspirations, he probably wishes to know us better, nothing weird with that. Well, after he had downed a couple beers too many he starts opening up that the reason he came to our uni was that he had in a drunken haze mass emailed inappropriate stuff to the whole faculty of the last uni he worked at. I loved and still love the field I studied but that was the moment I decided pursuing a doctorate wouldn't be for me. There's a lot of good professors out there, but a lot of scummy stuff gets brushed away and creeps get away unscathed.
Yup. You dump two of the most crooked, corrupted, and shadiest POSs in a company of two thousands men, and some way somehow they'll manage to find one another and become the bestest of friends.
I appreciate the respectful way you and Moony settled things. It’s far too rare in this space and I hope viewers of both channels appreciate just how unique it is.
i really hate the justice system sometimes. how can someone be called an expert witness without being vetted by the court and shown to actually have expertise? how is this dude not already on a blacklist from ever acting as a witness? how can someone use this guy for their case, and it not immediately be completely damming to the validity of their case?
The court is suppose to be neutral. One side presents an expert and the other side can question the validity of their expertise and have the person striked as an expert or just discredit them.
Yea. The court system blows. Case in point being that when someone is found innocent or is proven innocent over enduring a long sentence, say while in prison for years, then what would truly be just are for those who had falsely convicted him needing to be the ones to pay restitution to the innocent party. It’s how and why making a wrong verdict in court ought to be treated extremely seriously. That doesn’t happen, ever.
You can be an awful person, but still be knowledgeable about many things. The crux of all this is: define "awful person". Sure, we understand what truly good and truly bad means, but at what point between the two do you draw the line? Someone who watches porn? Someone who likes guns? Someone who has a certain opinion on abortion? How do you legally separate "knowledgeable AND awful" from "knowledgeable and NOT awful"... or should that even matter?
@@nickfifteen I would say vices are one thing, but when the man has been sued for sexual assault and has had multiple complaints from female students that aren’t merely reports over a decade later. Oof. He would have had better odds with just the vices. Also, him recording his neighbors and homeless people is already super weird. If anything I’m going to suspect that his status as a professor is just for prestige, so any claims of being knowledgeable I would find as questionable.
The messed up part is that if you look at his credentials, he clearly has expertise. Its scary that he seems to be an "expert for hire", willing to BS testimony to help his employers, whatever their case may be. To be fair though, not sure how common this is. In the heard v. depp trial, the heard side had a bunch of werid expert witnesses. dr. doofenshmirtz comes to mind.
Damn, This is really fucked. The fact that no greater fallout happened between the professor and the university (or the fact that either of them have been charged of anything) and they just let him retire is really depressing. There is definitely something sketchy that is happening there. Also no wonder that this guy is resorting to becoming a "Legal Expert", no serious company or university would hire his creepy ass with what is on his Professional Account feed.
The sad part is that the university, like many big businesses, probably cares more about its reputation than making sure the assholes they hired didn't hurt anyone or can't get jobs in the future where they could hurt people. They'd rather quietly have the person leave to go cause problems elsewhere.
I mean, even in my university some teachers (with the same fuck up shit) just got into differents areas in the university like nothing happened. There's something really fuck up about it.
um did you miss the one that got questioned by the US senate about their jewish students getting their lives threated and they couldnt care less but only got removed cause they got exposed for mass plagiarism only after their senate hearing. Like majority of university's are actively brainwashing their students with political Bs, long gone are the days they taught what they advertise now they dont care what a teacher does as long as they push THE agenda.
There was some twitter drama earlier this week that was similar to this (basically a guy goes behind his wife's back to engage with OF models). His defense was he though that twitter/social media wasn't real life and he could do what he wanted without consequence. That mindset that social media != real life explains so many people's shitty attitude online.
Can anyone upload to the historical database? That'd be awesome. In 1987 I set the record for vacuuming my parents family room in just inder 97 seconds. Still hold it.
As a former university professor, I can tell you that tenure is CRAZY strong. Losing that suit could certainly make him lose it--if he was still employed. As you mentioned, USC still has him on the site. It could as an honorable thing but...yeah...this is very sketchy.
Zyda is definitely not why TG agreed to settle. In fact, as it would seem, nobody would have ever seen Zyda's "report" had TG not secured its publication as a concession.
We can't prove time travelers didn't come to the past and alter the tape to make Billy look bad, therefore we can't trust what we see on it and must find Billy innocent!
I'd assume TG has wanted to settle since the case was filed, the lawsuit is just a waste of money for them, but were never willing to state that BM hadn't cheated or put him back on the real leaderboard. So they probably got pretty much what they wanted out of the settlement.
@@Zillionman2010 Sounds reasonable. Not to mention you can't know if everyone who made videos for the difference of original loading vs emulator loading, didn't have all their recorders broken so each emulator video showed the wrong loading order.
What I love about Karl's videos aside from the effort he puts in is that he never clickbaits. He says that Zyda is a scumbag in an unexpected way, and oh shit is it unexpected. I cant believe the USC let it slide
I really don’t find myself holding universities in high regard. Individuals with merit sure, but oh man. It’s often the case that instead of being an example of the best of society, it’s a display of the opposite. I’d imagine anyone worth their salt distances themselves from any drama once they graduate or move.
As someone that did CS, there’s a severe shortage of teachers and professors since big tech still scoops up the talent and I’m sure he has dirt on them. We had this one Professor that everyone loathed with a passion even other Professors and whatnot, when several students filled a formal complaint about his abuse, they got told there wasn’t anyone to replace him until the student-council swung by where one of them got the inside story that due to his previous position at the IT department he managed to collect a lot of questionable information on next to anyone and even managed to get someone fired and their reputation as a researcher/scientist tarnished up to the point this cat tried to end his life. Tiptoed around him for the rest of my time there due the him being an odd but really vindictive person that would try to end you if you ever crossed him (or he perceived it as such) Do hope the student will be ok and everything turns out well for her though Thanks for the research and video, great work! Well done!
My only complaint with this video is that Zyda's name isn't in the title. This needs to be the top search result when anyone searches "Michael Zyda." Thank you for the incredible vids Karl 💙
My only complaint is the women suing him shouldn't have had her name public like that, but without a name it looks like Karl is just making up a story. I feel for the young lady and hope none of this ends up in her life more than it has to.
I was thinking “don’t just shit talk this guy and make vague guesses about what terrible things he may have done or try to get him fired” but not even 20 seconds later wow he’s even worse than that. Seems like the exact kind of guy Billy would hire
TG didn't fold though. Billy surrendered. TG decided, as long as they didn't have to reinstate Billy or unban him, they didn't want to waste any more of their time on him.
LUMPY!? Jfc dude, I won't even share how I feel about that bc it would probably count as a call to violence. Sounds like he'll at least be an expert witness on prison life pretty soon, I wish him all the worst. What a vile person.
You're absolutely correct in your position and definitely have your priorities in order, his use of a tasteless joke is by far his worst character trait.
While I agree with you completely, Zyda’s not being charged criminally, it’s a civil lawsuit. Though that doesn’t mean he couldn’t be charged criminally later on ig
I literally cannot believe the twists and turns that Karl finds in this case. This is journalism in its purest form. Unrelated: in the ad section where he's washing his face... had no idea Karl was packing some absolute arm cannons. What an absolute LEGEND.
Considering the lawsuit and him being a compulsive liar, the money probably isn't real or at least he would not pay it for long. He tried to manipulate her into having an actual relationship. most likely so he wouldn't have to pay long term
@@Snipermain yeah, if anything he probably paid $5k a few times at most and then when sexual advances were not accepted he started making various threats and stopped paying, could even use housing as a threat too, as he did with immigration status.
The most important thing for Karl's audience rn is not to go after Zyda on mob justice. Let Karl cook. And remember the famous quote: "never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake"
I don't speak for Karl, but Zyda should definitely be reported, and should not be around students. Karl doesn't do vids on Jirard or this guy just so everyone can ignore these warning signs.
Don't need mob justice to report facts to the proper authorities. Can't imagine randomly messaging a man to harass him people just need to do the right thing quietly without kudos and clout
@@seekittycatI agree, reporting to the authorities is the rational approach. Though as Karl had to mention in the video, there are fans who will act irrationally and go after other people in immature and disastrous ways. My point is, people should do as you say, rather than do what they did to that UA-camr Karl gave a shout-out to
On the topic of "liking R18 stuff on main", I've seen an ungodly amount of people do it on their professional Twitter accounts, and absolutely _none of them_ know people can see likes That's why it keeps happening all the time - they think retweets are public, likes are private - and then go and like a bunch of _interesting content_ Similar to follows, even though it's like one of the first things you can see about an account, and people can very easily check it...
We need to inform the students at USC that their school knowingly and actively protected a sex offender or maybe worse. We can't let things like this stand
"We need to inform the students at USC that their school knowingly and actively protected a sex offender or maybe worse" - You might want to be more careful with labels you throw around so nonchalantly. While we have no reason to doubt the young woman suing Zyda, her allegations are just that at the moment -- only allegations. Nothing has been proven (or, since this is a civil case, accepted by a jury to be factually accurate).
Honestly, this is more typical of expert witnesses than you'd like to believe. Typically a law firm will hire 2 experts. One legit expert that they show everything to. That expert will advise them on what to show to the expert who is testifying. Then they'll have another expert whose main expertise is testifying. They have acquired the credenials they need for the court, often just barely, and then they are very good at walking a line. They are not allowed to lie. If they are caught lying, it can ruin their career, as that will be used in every case from then on. But they are very good at only finding out enough information to say something helpful to their client and to handle cross examination in a way that obfuscates the facts. That's their real expertise. It is pretty common, sadly.
Expert Witnesses in general are terrifying, in every walk of life If I am given money to say something you want, I am a compromised individual with a huge conflict of interest, and yet court rooms not only allow this but lawsuits and criminal trials are often decided by who can pay the most expert witnesses to argue for them. Its such a perverse system.
The whole term "expert witness" speaks volumes. The term "witness" indicates a person who has seen 1st hand what is going on, whereas with an "expert witness" this simply isn't the case, they're a paid person (conflict of interest) raising speculation regarding what may, or may not happen. There's no proof beyond reasonable doubt here, it's purely speculation, and as such it shouldn't hold up in court, yet somehow it's relevant...
@@YouNameItGaming You're mixing definitions. In this context, a witness is anyone who testifies in court. And expert testimony is crucial for the justice system to work. For example, without expert testimony, it would be impossible to prove Billy faked his tapes because nobody saw him do it. It can only be proven by an expert demonstrating that what Billy claims is not possible. And while some conflict of interest exists, it's not like you're _allowed_ to just say whatever the client pays you to say. If you get caught knowingly lying, on top of it being an actual crime, you won't be allowed to give expert testimony anymore. Reputable expert witnesses simply won't do it. If you want an expert witness to lie, you'll have to hire some shit-tier loser like Zyda who can't get a legitimate job.
@@YouNameItGaming You mean "moral hazard" not "conflict of interest". Paying someone to say what you want is moral hazard: it incentivizes lying. A conflict of interest is (eg) holding the office that oversees vote counting, while also running for Governor.
@@elLooto Moral Hazard involves entering into an agreement with someone and they hurt you as they are not morally obligated to do so, like providing amazing insurance to a driver and the driver starts driving dangerously as they no longer care and this is a hazard for the insurance provider, but we are arguing the opposite that these people entering into agreements with expert witnesses actually want them to be morally corrupt as that will result in them saying exactly what they want to secure the pay cheque and get future offers as an expert witness. In terms of the conflict of interest it is clearly one, they are supposed to be interested in the truth but that will often conflict with the interest of future employment as expert witnesses who bite the hand that feeds them and disagree with the person who hired them don't get hired again.
I really did think from what I've read of his declaration is that TG ran into the issue of 'to pick apart his testimony in a way that a non-technical jury would understand is too troublesome'. In other words, juries are not going to have any experts in media transfer or electrical engineering, statistically speaking. They're going to see enough stuff that is just plausable enough because they don't know better. A lot of smoke, but no fire, is still enough to get someone to think there's a fire.
Karl is doing everything to demonstrate that the reason it was settled had nothing to do with this guy without actually saying it. Malpractice by TG's lawyer forced a settlement.
@@cwolf208Yep I don't know why Karl keeps refusing to mention it, but TG's lawyer Tash screwed the case by contacting two of Billy's witnesses inappropriately, and the judge referred him to the bar. He actually wrote a full apology to the court, which can be found on Courthouse News.
@cwolf208 It’s making me uncomfortable at this point? I’ve really been enjoying Karl’s videos about the entire process but if I hadn’t read an article about the case settlement, I would have never known this from his videos. I’ve been confused since he put out his “Billy Mitchell lost” video because… No, he didn’t? A settlement isn’t a win and it’s not a loss either, that’s the point, no? I kept waiting for him to mention Tash and he just didn’t…. Hope things start making sense soon
If it's 95% certain you are going to lose, settling is a win. If you are only suing people to shut them up and bankrupt them, settling is a win. Since the case is now closed, no investigation will be done on the lawyers, or the claimant for being vexatious, or anyone for lying under oath. @@NatLaS
I just love what a bizarre clusterfuck this has become. One man cheated in a decades old arcade game, got caught and started a string of lawsuits that will not only destroy him, but apparently others around him as well. Thank you Karl, for this expose.
Ugh, this made my skin crawl. What made me feel the most gross, though, is the suggestion that the university is sweeping the whole thing under the rug. Disgusting. People like you are so important, Karl, and the world needs more folks brave enough to shine a light on scummy behaviour. Please, keep up the good work. Also, I'm happy to see you and Moony settling things so reasonably and maturely. You both have quality channels and are both quality blokes.
Letting profs quietly retire after shit like this is not all that different from all the honorable discharges given to military personnel after their abuse of civilians/other personnel
Michael Zyda definitely needs more investigations done into him. What crimes did he commit at the University? What cases has he testified in that might now be ripe for being overturned? What type of lawyers don't do basic background checks on expert witnesses? What other crimes is the university covering up?
Shiiiiit, he paid me a couple milli just to let him be my "Expert Witness". Can you really blame him though? I mean come on, I'm Mr. Freakin' Mitchell baby. 😎 MISTER MITCHELL OUTTT! - Mr. Billy Freaking Mitchell
Karl explicitly asks his viewers not to go meddling in other peoples' affairs and your first reaction is to post an angry mob incitement to... meddle in other people's affairs. Jesus fuckin christ lol. And why don't you send it yourself if you think it's so important lmao
Holy shit. This video got way darker after that point. They're still just allegations so I can't say it concretely, but all but concretely... fuck this guy. Dude sounds literally evil.

"You can't call this man a cheater because there *could* have been a planetary alignment in the Andromeda galaxy that caused an interstellar coronal mass ejection that may have struck Billy's home, localized entirely within the room his VCR was in."
Now this here is the smart, rational thinking, manly kinda man that Mr. Mitchell loves to love. In a strictly non-homosapien kinda way. Or however you say that. Mr. Mitchell has been telling these frickin' mouthbreather's all of this, but their shallow intellect combined with the sheer jealousy they must experience knowing someone as cool as Mr. Billy MF'in Mitchell is out there killin' the game, prevents them from accepting the truth. Honestly, I envy them too, for they have the opportunity to experience the one thing that I never will... and that's me baby. Mr. Mitchell outtttttt! - Mister Billy Freaking Mitchell PS. God says buy my hot sauce or he'll kick your ass.
If I had a nickel for every time a cheater hired a college professor to defend their cheating, I had two nickels. Which isn't a lot but why did this happen twice?
The fact that you made a video about Moony-with a lot of restraint, engaged with him publicly, and accepted his apology is one thing. But to encourage people to subscribe to him and give his other work a watch? That is a level of decency and kindness that I did not expect. As of today? You earned a subscription from me.
Partway through the video: "Hey, Karl, there's nothing wrong with liking kink stuff online. Maybe cut the guy some slack." [gets to Lu's lawsuit] "WELP. NEVER MIND."
Its unprofessional when you are a public servant and have a public image. Major red flags. But yes the lawsuit was an entire can of worms that got dumped for the world to see thanks to karl.
The Australian journalist friendlyjordies had to take down a video today because the NSW police won't protect them from the political gang they upset by reporting on them. It's reuploaded in some places already if you look for "friendlyjordies coronation" and they just put out a statement on their channel. Investigative journalism in Australia is absolutely in serious crisis.
This comment hits different after watching friendlyjordie’s new video…real investigative journalism is being punished instead of celebrated the way it should be :(
The absolute disgust of seeing those public (lies) statements that Billie believed he had won is palpable. I hope Karl and his legal team can sink their teeth into him in court - the cheat has it coming.

This is the greatest comment I’ve seen since the year started lol
When you said 'his expert testimony was only 2 pages long' I nearly spat out my tea.
For some context, for anyone who doesn't know:
I had to contact a vet about providing expert testimony for a small case a few years ago, and asked what that would look like. They said it would be a minimum of 30 billable hours, with a report detailing all work conducted, findings, opinions, conclusions, and references for all research & work done. They estimated this would be between 10-20 pages of writing, plus supporting evidence & results, depending on what was needed to draw an accurate conclusion.
Thankfully I didn't need their service in the end, else I'd know what the report actually looked like, but this hopefully puts their 2 page report for a large lawsuit like this lawsuit into some context.
Their expert witness testimony is what a twitter post is compared to a wikipedia article

As a lawyer, most of expert witnesses is shopping around for the highest credentialed expert who agrees with you. If they don't agree with you, you go onto the next. Lower tier experts will often shift their testimony to match yours so they can get paid. Then the other side hires a similar expert, they battle it out, and a jury picks which one they believe more. The sugar baby stuff would never get admitted into trial,as its irrelevant, so he happened to pick one of the careers where having a disgusting and clueless social media presence didn't destroy his career immediately.
how disturbing. I mean, sounds like rent-a-witness. sounds dirty. Sounds like a wild west, terrifying dystopian nightmare. second point, when he started out, I'm certain he didn't have his head in the online gutter in the same way as he did right before his retirement. So while I can grok that little by little, he was able to have his cake and eat it too, I imagine that the majority of college professors are utterly astonished and should-be-angry that here is a hyena with a job where they fire dogs
@@Oxxyjoe there is something called a "daubert motion" basically the other side can say "we think your expert witness has no idea what they are talking about", and explain why. If the judge agrees, their testimony is excluded. For expert witnesses if you lose a daubert motion even once, your career is over. So there is some recourse and it would be a very, very bad idea for an expert witness to be dishonest. Just like there are unethical lawyers, there are unethical expert witnesses, but many are also professionals who are going to tell you what they actually think regardless of whether it supports their case. They'd have to be very greedy to change it, since even analyzing the case to form an opinion is something they would need to be paid for.
@@demonicspire1345 your confidence is reassuring. But it seems like there's also something to do with, if "this will end your career" is the recourse, then, that probably doesn't actually occur much, because it's too severe. It's too severe to be used, and therefore doesn't get used enough. That is, based on your description of it. I get the jist, however. They're under the microscope and have to be excellent... but if everything were actually that perfect, would we have the problems we have? Clearly we have an expert witness who just says whatever right here bro
Yeap. Pretty much summed it up. This is why Billy may win, because it all depends which expert the Jury believes more. Not the actual facts.
@@Oxxyjoe the court doesn't care if it ends someone's career, and your opponent sure as hell doesn't care. Like other people are saying the expert witness is not really the issue in this case, its the TG lawyer royally screwing up and potentially getting disbarred for misconduct.
Its crazy how these older people, for whatever reason, don't ever seem to understand that EVERYONE can see the things they do when on social media.......

> 2 pages
> Expert testimony
Something isn't lining up. Those testimonies are usually in depth, and with very good reason. The expert KNOWS what they are talking about and can explain eventualities or possible other causes. 2 pages isn't very confidence inducing.
If the case had not settled, he would have been deposed, and both sides would've asked him followup questions. The settlement came before they had an opportunity to do that, so we only have his sworn affidavit. Even so, two pages does seem a bit on the short side.
I mean not everything has to be a super long but I get you
I mean, the entire crux of his argument was "well, when any number parts degrade, it's POSSIBLE that they could malfunction in the exact way a MAME would appear." That was as close as he was going to get to being able to explain the irregularities.
The report basically saying; Billy's video anomaly seemingly not possible to happened, our experiment to emulate it also failed, but it COULD still happen with right situation
Yeah, really bs
There should definitely be an investigation into the ethics of Billy's lawyers. Remember the fake plaque that was submitted into evidence? That alone should get the state bar association on their behinds.

"it's like claiming you can walk through a wall if your atoms line up in a certain way" ..but doing that several times too
Actually no, the analogy works exactly right as it is.
You are made up of 7 Octillion (billion billion billion) atoms each of which individually can in theory pass thru a wall in the exact right circumstances if every part of what makes them up phases thru in just the right way to miss all the space taken up by other atoms in the wall
So for you to pass thru a wall, all 7,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 atoms in you need to line up just right to let you pass thru the wall
Its exactly the same as the VHS replicatin the same mistake many times over and only in that one frame with zero other graphical glitches to warn as to a dirty VCR head
Well you can't prove I broke into the store! This expert witness says it's theoretically possible I just faded through the wall!
I mean, you *can* literally do that with non-zero probability. Just that the probability is so close to zero that it would never happen in countless umpteen lifetimes of the universe, but there is a verified physical mechanism that theoretically allows that (even macroscopic objects have a smeared wavefunction). The videotape error? There is not even a theoretical mechanism to support it. You can not create a mismatched NTSC video frame using an ordinary VCR no matter how it malfunctions, because a VCR has no framebuffer, it has only access to the one instance of time it is copying at that instance of time. It can't pull in elements from the previous or next frame. Or even previous or next *line.*

When you spoke about this guy being a perv online, does this extend to his relationship with students? I immediately thought, "that's a stretch, c'mon." But then you brought up the lawsuit & I thought, "oh, no, seriously? I can't believe this 'expert witness' would stoop so low." Then you showed the plaintiff statements that went on about his behavior.
This guy is perfect to represent the "facts" of Billy's innocence.
Being a perv online often translates to real life.
It all depends on the frequency. It's about frequency. There's a threshold of normal behaviour, if you engage in this kinda thing that often it's bound to be part of your personality.

One thing I learned in life is that bad people oftentimes associate themselves with other bad people. This reflects it perfectly.
Yep, which is why i sus theres other Zydas at that school
totally true. in my country (Cyprus) we have a saying "Tell me who your friends are and i'll tell you whο you (as a character) are"
@@psylencecy Exactly. I was just thinking about this the other day, because it's not fair to judge someone if a friend of theirs turns out to be a scumbag, so how is that saying then still true? So here's what i got:
Statistically speaking it's a numbers thing, obviously, but for people personally it seems obvious to me that anyone can make a mistake of trusting the wrong person. We can't read minds, we don't do through background checks on everyone we know and instead give people the benefit of the doubt unless or until they F it up, and we're all sensitive to plausibility and charm, and scumbags often necessarily rely on charm and deception to compensate for a lack of substance an worth.
But when someone is total scum, they tend to attract other scumbags and push critics away, so they're left with other scum and with vulnerable people they can victimize/baffle/lie to.
On the opposite of that spectrum are people who want to learn and grow and they'll have critical people close to them because they value each other. That encourages them to be around each other, and it has the added benefit of deterring scum bags because their biggest enemy is knowledge/honest criticism.
So in conclusion: scumbags are inevitably dumb F's who don't grow but only learn how to deceive and gaslight more effectively, because everyone who could encourage them to be better is pushed away and/or abused by them.
Life is so much easier and less harmful to people around you when we're empathic, kind, and sincere.
I mean, how often would you think that someone will do something nice for that lying scumbag just because they want to do it? How often does someone surprise you with an act of kindness because someone thought about you? You don't have to ask for a lot I imagine. Most people don't. This guy though, if he doesn't abuse a girl to force her, she wouldn't even smile at him.
So yeah, you can tell all that just by the friends he keeps close. Same for Billy. You know that he's a lonely lying sack of manure who has to rely on other liars to keep up his facade and to stay in his comfort zone/fantasy land, where he is somehow the good guy with great value. Kind of sad if you think about it. Maybe he'd be a totally different man if once in is life he had valued and respected just one person so much that he'd want to be the best he can, just because that other person deserves nothing less, like most people do.
Sorry this is so long, it probably doesn't interest anyone one bit. I like thinking about these things and putting it to words. I think that a lot of people intuitively know how it works. And we don't need to put it to words if it just works and we know what we mean with just a short generalized sentence. I love looking critically at generalization and see if they work and how exactly, and what the essences/general principles of those are.
i also love the sweet irony in how I am an extreme reductionist and I need 5 paragraphs to get to the core principles and someone else can just intuitively say the same thing in just one sentence 🤣

Zyda is the essence of "make skin crawl." I can easily imagine him walking into a room and seeing everything in it, right down to the microscopic organisms, freeze in it's tracks.
12:36 He's listed as "Professor Emeritus" which is an honorary title; he is no longer working there (at least officially.) I'll bet you dollars to donuts that getting that title was a condition to getting him to leave his tenure amicably, otherwise the university would have probably had a harder job keeping it under wraps.
Or he just bought it
"Listen, Michael, there's been a lot of heat, lot of rumors going around recently, and uh, the school board talked about this and well, we're gonna have to let you go."
You're going to fire meeeee?! This is ridiculous!
"Please don't make a fuss about this, Michael."
I've been here fifteen years!!
"Look, we'll give you 'Professor Emeritus' on the page."
[instantly calm, rubs chin] Professor Emeritus... hm... I can tell that to all the sugar babies...
"Uh, yeah, whatever you say man, just, can we do this quietly?"
[waving him off, walking away, still rubbing chin] Nice to meet you, Destiny. I'm Michael. I'm a Professor Emeritus... Yes, yes...
Holy hell. I'm a university employee as a lecturer and student adviser and I am 100% certain that if I were caught doing even a tenth of what Zyda's doing, my ass would be rightfully booted in no time.
I cannot even imagine looking at my students in that way. It's almost the same mental block as one has with family members; it just doesn't happen to me, it's not even a remote possibility.
🚨...Sus... 👀
@@GamerCrewUKBro shut up
Yup, all students go to Uni's with the hope to learn and/or to further their career prospects. Then, for a person in power who is not only their senior in age but also in experience to plan and execute such vile acts makes me seeth in anger.

@@bakedbake To be fair... I do not know. Makes no sense at all, maybe I intended that sentence to go in a different direction and did not properly proof read. Thank you for the heads up.
Billy has somehow managed to form a Fellowship of Failures
I’ve been a graduate student in a PhD program at an American University for a number of years now. I’ve gotten to know the professors, the culture, and the types of power dynamics at play.
Unfortunately, most of what you describe regarding the institution brushing things under the rug don’t really surprise me at all. Frankly, the most surprising thing is his professional twitter account staying so creepy for so long-I’d have expected a Department Chair or concerned colleagues to tell him to keep that on personal accounts at some point, probably.
But Universities are extremely perception-conscious and try to avoid attracting criticism. They instinctively brush things under the rug as long as they can to maintain the front they need to. At most, a problematic faculty member will be subtly sidelined from standard responsibilities if their colleagues find them too creepy or weird, or they will be allowed to retire, because that’s much easier than to attempt to fire someone with tenure.
This professor’s behavior is definitely extremely unusual, strange, and creepy, if not criminal. But unfortunately his institution’s response is entirely par for the course.
Very good insight.
While true, it’s worth noting that it’s very hard and borderline impossible to remove a faculty member from their position. Especially one who is on the verge of retirement. I’m not sure what the situation is with this department, but in my time as a grad student I knew several older professors who barely taught any classes because students complained about them or their material was so outdated. I TAed for a professor who gloated that he had used the same exam for 20+ years, completely ignoring any and all of the advancements in his field. On the opposite side of the spectrum, I have seen Twitter posts come into consolation prior to tenure approval. About 8 or 10 years ago at a school in IL a professor’s job offer was withdrawn due to his comments on twitter regarding Israel. So it’s not just an issue of the administration not acting, it’s also that their capacity to act is extremely limited by the protections in place within the faculty system. And there are roundabout ways to keep professors away from students even if they ostensibly retain their title and position as before.
Which isn’t to say this is all fine and dandy. And I’m sure know all of this yourself, but the other readers may not. But it’s worth noting that the issue goes beyond the capacities of the department or faculty members. Tenure doesn’t dissolve in the face of creepy twitter behavior because it wasn’t designed with that sort of problem in mind. Unfortunately, I doubt that system will ever change, and is more likely to be removed or replaced entirely due to how broken the university system is overall.
@@loldoctor You’re absolutely correct, and I’ve had a number of similar experiences to those you describe, myself. Hence my comment about getting/allowing the professor to retire being the easiest way for the institution to effectively get rid of them.
But my point remains that universities try to handle these problems in-house (which, due in significant part to tenure, they tend to do poorly), and try to avoid letting any embarrassing details get out to the press. They think they are defending their reputation and the perception of their institution, but in fact they are simply dodging any accountability.
This is a general university issue. Uni politics, no matter which country, is a cesspit at worst of times and a ball of spiders at best of times; some places a tad better, some a lot worse. It’s in how Unis are constituted; who gets to vote for what, who can fire whom, who decides that you get into a position where you get to do these things - it’s very network-y, intransparent (commenter loldoctor actually hinted to some of these issues; you won’t get tenure if the deciding faculty profs don’t want you; this can be purely due to your political opinions or world view - that’s… obviously an issue! Same goes the other way around; full tenure profs have been fired for having the wrong opinion on politics - and I’m not talking about extremist garbage; completely normal other side of the coin opinions) and disconnected from the ground floors.
This is definitely true. Not American but from Europe, and I've had similar experiences. An older professor was openly misogynistic towards a classmate of mine - it was brushed under the rug and he 'retired'. Another professor was recently moved from another uni in the country, after the first lecture of his me and a couple of mates went to a pub and the new professor forced himself along. OK, we're all graduate students with big aspirations, he probably wishes to know us better, nothing weird with that. Well, after he had downed a couple beers too many he starts opening up that the reason he came to our uni was that he had in a drunken haze mass emailed inappropriate stuff to the whole faculty of the last uni he worked at.
I loved and still love the field I studied but that was the moment I decided pursuing a doctorate wouldn't be for me. There's a lot of good professors out there, but a lot of scummy stuff gets brushed away and creeps get away unscathed.
Creeps and liars often band together. That's just their type. We can all think of recent examples.

Don't pretend this is new. That is a plague affecting the country. Stop thinking "this" s the first time X has happened.

@@dankyjoker are you sure???
I appreciate the respectful way you and Moony settled things. It’s far too rare in this space and I hope viewers of both channels appreciate just how unique it is.
It’s nice to see him admit his wrongs and not threaten a lawsuit like a certain other two
i really hate the justice system sometimes. how can someone be called an expert witness without being vetted by the court and shown to actually have expertise?
how is this dude not already on a blacklist from ever acting as a witness?
how can someone use this guy for their case, and it not immediately be completely damming to the validity of their case?
The court is suppose to be neutral. One side presents an expert and the other side can question the validity of their expertise and have the person striked as an expert or just discredit them.
Yea. The court system blows. Case in point being that when someone is found innocent or is proven innocent over enduring a long sentence, say while in prison for years, then what would truly be just are for those who had falsely convicted him needing to be the ones to pay restitution to the innocent party. It’s how and why making a wrong verdict in court ought to be treated extremely seriously. That doesn’t happen, ever.
You can be an awful person, but still be knowledgeable about many things.
The crux of all this is: define "awful person". Sure, we understand what truly good and truly bad means, but at what point between the two do you draw the line? Someone who watches porn? Someone who likes guns? Someone who has a certain opinion on abortion? How do you legally separate "knowledgeable AND awful" from "knowledgeable and NOT awful"... or should that even matter?
@@nickfifteen I would say vices are one thing, but when the man has been sued for sexual assault and has had multiple complaints from female students that aren’t merely reports over a decade later. Oof. He would have had better odds with just the vices.
Also, him recording his neighbors and homeless people is already super weird. If anything I’m going to suspect that his status as a professor is just for prestige, so any claims of being knowledgeable I would find as questionable.
The messed up part is that if you look at his credentials, he clearly has expertise. Its scary that he seems to be an "expert for hire", willing to BS testimony to help his employers, whatever their case may be. To be fair though, not sure how common this is. In the heard v. depp trial, the heard side had a bunch of werid expert witnesses. dr. doofenshmirtz comes to mind.
Damn, This is really fucked. The fact that no greater fallout happened between the professor and the university (or the fact that either of them have been charged of anything) and they just let him retire is really depressing. There is definitely something sketchy that is happening there.
Also no wonder that this guy is resorting to becoming a "Legal Expert", no serious company or university would hire his creepy ass with what is on his Professional Account feed.
I probably chuckled too much while reading this in the engineer's voice.
The sad part is that the university, like many big businesses, probably cares more about its reputation than making sure the assholes they hired didn't hurt anyone or can't get jobs in the future where they could hurt people. They'd rather quietly have the person leave to go cause problems elsewhere.
@@tkienjoyer “We’ll be just fine so long as nobody harasses any women.”
I mean, even in my university some teachers (with the same fuck up shit) just got into differents areas in the university like nothing happened. There's something really fuck up about it.
um did you miss the one that got questioned by the US senate about their jewish students getting their lives threated and they couldnt care less but only got removed cause they got exposed for mass plagiarism only after their senate hearing. Like majority of university's are actively brainwashing their students with political Bs, long gone are the days they taught what they advertise now they dont care what a teacher does as long as they push THE agenda.
There was some twitter drama earlier this week that was similar to this (basically a guy goes behind his wife's back to engage with OF models). His defense was he though that twitter/social media wasn't real life and he could do what he wanted without consequence. That mindset that social media != real life explains so many people's shitty attitude online.
Can anyone upload to the historical database? That'd be awesome. In 1987 I set the record for vacuuming my parents family room in just inder 97 seconds. Still hold it.

As a former university professor, I can tell you that tenure is CRAZY strong.
Losing that suit could certainly make him lose it--if he was still employed. As you mentioned, USC still has him on the site. It could as an honorable thing but...yeah...this is very sketchy.

@@ersatz_catsTG's lawyer Tash screwed the case by contacting Billy's witnesses inappropriately, and the judge referred him to the state bar.
I'd assume TG has wanted to settle since the case was filed, the lawsuit is just a waste of money for them, but were never willing to state that BM hadn't cheated or put him back on the real leaderboard. So they probably got pretty much what they wanted out of the settlement.

I really don’t find myself holding universities in high regard. Individuals with merit sure, but oh man.

The University needs to respond to this. That makes my blood boil.
And they have
As someone that did CS, there’s a severe shortage of teachers and professors since big tech still scoops up the talent and I’m sure he has dirt on them.
We had this one Professor that everyone loathed with a passion even other Professors and whatnot, when several students filled a formal complaint about his abuse, they got told there wasn’t anyone to replace him until the student-council swung by where one of them got the inside story that due to his previous position at the IT department he managed to collect a lot of questionable information on next to anyone and even managed to get someone fired and their reputation as a researcher/scientist tarnished up to the point this cat tried to end his life.
Tiptoed around him for the rest of my time there due the him being an odd but really vindictive person that would try to end you if you ever crossed him (or he perceived it as such)
Do hope the student will be ok and everything turns out well for her though
Thanks for the research and video, great work! Well done!
My only complaint with this video is that Zyda's name isn't in the title. This needs to be the top search result when anyone searches "Michael Zyda."
Thank you for the incredible vids Karl 💙
My only complaint is the women suing him shouldn't have had her name public like that, but without a name it looks like Karl is just making up a story. I feel for the young lady and hope none of this ends up in her life more than it has to.
This needs to be at the top so Karl sees this!!
Yes
Agree we need this guy in the spotlight
Karl said "Bro sit down, I got your search history!"
I was thinking “don’t just shit talk this guy and make vague guesses about what terrible things he may have done or try to get him fired” but not even 20 seconds later wow he’s even worse than that. Seems like the exact kind of guy Billy would hire
Karl said “And I took that personally” to an entirely new level lmfao. I love it. This dude was the perfect fit to Billy Boys Shitparade.
Its terrifying Billy Mitchell has enough money to drag these lawsuits out until the other side folds.
TG didn't fold though. Billy surrendered. TG decided, as long as they didn't have to reinstate Billy or unban him, they didn't want to waste any more of their time on him.
Didn't Billy bring this dispute so that his scores could be added back into the current TG leaderboard? They didn't, and he's still banned from TG.

$5k a week for a year is $260k, if he was paying that much he had to have something fishy going on the side. No way a professor can afford that
the fishy thing is being an expert witness lul
Considering the lawsuit and him being a compulsive liar, the money probably isn't real or at least he would not pay it for long.
He tried to manipulate her into having an actual relationship. most likely so he wouldn't have to pay long term
@@Snipermain yeah, if anything he probably paid $5k a few times at most and then when sexual advances were not accepted he started making various threats and stopped paying, could even use housing as a threat too, as he did with immigration status.
The most important thing for Karl's audience rn is not to go after Zyda on mob justice. Let Karl cook. And remember the famous quote: "never interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake"
I don't speak for Karl, but Zyda should definitely be reported, and should not be around students. Karl doesn't do vids on Jirard or this guy just so everyone can ignore these warning signs.
I would say the onus should be on USC to stop letting Zyda be around students and stop posting those "photos" on a university account.
Naw, Zyda deserves mob justice for bein the monster he is
Don't need mob justice to report facts to the proper authorities. Can't imagine randomly messaging a man to harass him people just need to do the right thing quietly without kudos and clout
@@seekittycatI agree, reporting to the authorities is the rational approach. Though as Karl had to mention in the video, there are fans who will act irrationally and go after other people in immature and disastrous ways.

On the topic of "liking R18 stuff on main", I've seen an ungodly amount of people do it on their professional Twitter accounts, and absolutely _none of them_ know people can see likes
That's why it keeps happening all the time - they think retweets are public, likes are private - and then go and like a bunch of _interesting content_
Similar to follows, even though it's like one of the first things you can see about an account, and people can very easily check it...
How the turn tables
We need to inform the students at USC that their school knowingly and actively protected a sex offender or maybe worse. We can't let things like this stand
I do agree, but if this is handled the wrong way, Karl could get implicated in a lawsuit by Zyda. If that guy is anything like his client, he'll sue.
Why? Who cares
"We need to inform the students at USC that their school knowingly and actively protected a sex offender or maybe worse" - You might want to be more careful with labels you throw around so nonchalantly. While we have no reason to doubt the young woman suing Zyda, her allegations are just that at the moment -- only allegations. Nothing has been proven (or, since this is a civil case, accepted by a jury to be factually accurate).
@@koppsrget sued for showing publicly available documents? Haha

Honestly, this is more typical of expert witnesses than you'd like to believe.
Typically a law firm will hire 2 experts. One legit expert that they show everything to. That expert will advise them on what to show to the expert who is testifying. Then they'll have another expert whose main expertise is testifying. They have acquired the credenials they need for the court, often just barely, and then they are very good at walking a line. They are not allowed to lie. If they are caught lying, it can ruin their career, as that will be used in every case from then on. But they are very good at only finding out enough information to say something helpful to their client and to handle cross examination in a way that obfuscates the facts. That's their real expertise. It is pretty common, sadly.
Very Sad and Pathetic

Omg I am dying lol

Never in a thousand years would I have guessed this guy was into all that, absolutely wild.
While I wasn't expecting it, I can't say I'm surprised.
Expert Witnesses in general are terrifying, in every walk of life If I am given money to say something you want, I am a compromised individual with a huge conflict of interest, and yet court rooms not only allow this but lawsuits and criminal trials are often decided by who can pay the most expert witnesses to argue for them. Its such a perverse system.
The bloke was compromised the minute he enjoyed a peg 😁
The whole term "expert witness" speaks volumes.
The term "witness" indicates a person who has seen 1st hand what is going on, whereas with an "expert witness" this simply isn't the case, they're a paid person (conflict of interest) raising speculation regarding what may, or may not happen.
There's no proof beyond reasonable doubt here, it's purely speculation, and as such it shouldn't hold up in court, yet somehow it's relevant...
@@YouNameItGaming You're mixing definitions. In this context, a witness is anyone who testifies in court. And expert testimony is crucial for the justice system to work. For example, without expert testimony, it would be impossible to prove Billy faked his tapes because nobody saw him do it. It can only be proven by an expert demonstrating that what Billy claims is not possible.
And while some conflict of interest exists, it's not like you're _allowed_ to just say whatever the client pays you to say. If you get caught knowingly lying, on top of it being an actual crime, you won't be allowed to give expert testimony anymore. Reputable expert witnesses simply won't do it. If you want an expert witness to lie, you'll have to hire some shit-tier loser like Zyda who can't get a legitimate job.
@@YouNameItGaming You mean "moral hazard" not "conflict of interest". Paying someone to say what you want is moral hazard: it incentivizes lying. A conflict of interest is (eg) holding the office that oversees vote counting, while also running for Governor.
@@elLooto Moral Hazard involves entering into an agreement with someone and they hurt you as they are not morally obligated to do so, like providing amazing insurance to a driver and the driver starts driving dangerously as they no longer care and this is a hazard for the insurance provider, but we are arguing the opposite that these people entering into agreements with expert witnesses actually want them to be morally corrupt as that will result in them saying exactly what they want to secure the pay cheque and get future offers as an expert witness. In terms of the conflict of interest it is clearly one, they are supposed to be interested in the truth but that will often conflict with the interest of future employment as expert witnesses who bite the hand that feeds them and disagree with the person who hired them don't get hired again.
I really did think from what I've read of his declaration is that TG ran into the issue of 'to pick apart his testimony in a way that a non-technical jury would understand is too troublesome'. In other words, juries are not going to have any experts in media transfer or electrical engineering, statistically speaking. They're going to see enough stuff that is just plausable enough because they don't know better. A lot of smoke, but no fire, is still enough to get someone to think there's a fire.
I heard something about contacting a witness, old info though
Karl is doing everything to demonstrate that the reason it was settled had nothing to do with this guy without actually saying it. Malpractice by TG's lawyer forced a settlement.
@@cwolf208Yep I don't know why Karl keeps refusing to mention it, but TG's lawyer Tash screwed the case by contacting two of Billy's witnesses inappropriately, and the judge referred him to the bar. He actually wrote a full apology to the court, which can be found on Courthouse News.
@cwolf208 It’s making me uncomfortable at this point? I’ve really been enjoying Karl’s videos about the entire process but if I hadn’t read an article about the case settlement, I would have never known this from his videos.
I’ve been confused since he put out his “Billy Mitchell lost” video because… No, he didn’t? A settlement isn’t a win and it’s not a loss either, that’s the point, no? I kept waiting for him to mention Tash and he just didn’t….
Hope things start making sense soon
If it's 95% certain you are going to lose, settling is a win.
If you are only suing people to shut them up and bankrupt them, settling is a win.
Since the case is now closed, no investigation will be done on the lawyers, or the claimant for being vexatious, or anyone for lying under oath. @@NatLaS
I just love what a bizarre clusterfuck this has become.
One man cheated in a decades old arcade game, got caught and started a string of lawsuits that will not only destroy him, but apparently others around him as well.
Thank you Karl, for this expose.
How can such a man be admissible to the court as an expert witness?
It's about who you know, not what you know
he's qualified to be a US Senator with that track record
@@Timmysteve He's qualified to be president, too. He likes them a bit older than our current president, though.
Ugh, this made my skin crawl. What made me feel the most gross, though, is the suggestion that the university is sweeping the whole thing under the rug. Disgusting.
People like you are so important, Karl, and the world needs more folks brave enough to shine a light on scummy behaviour. Please, keep up the good work.
Also, I'm happy to see you and Moony settling things so reasonably and maturely. You both have quality channels and are both quality blokes.
I lost it when you tossed quantum tunneling in the middle of the frame example😂
I'm going to get Karl to represent me the next time I need a lawyer. He does more work than most lawyers. lol
Letting profs quietly retire after shit like this is not all that different from all the honorable discharges given to military personnel after their abuse of civilians/other personnel
Yeah it's pathetic that people in power let this slide in any way. They are at fault when they hide it. Sad
Michael Zyda definitely needs more investigations done into him.
What crimes did he commit at the University?
What cases has he testified in that might now be ripe for being overturned?
What type of lawyers don't do basic background checks on expert witnesses?
What other crimes is the university covering up?
Shiiiiit, he paid me a couple milli just to let him be my "Expert Witness". Can you really blame him though? I mean come on, I'm Mr. Freakin' Mitchell baby. 😎
MISTER MITCHELL OUTTT!
- Mr. Billy Freaking Mitchell
Someone send this video to that girl's legal team.
Karl explicitly asks his viewers not to go meddling in other peoples' affairs and your first reaction is to post an angry mob incitement to... meddle in other people's affairs. Jesus fuckin christ lol. And why don't you send it yourself if you think it's so important lmao
9:00 - "Keep quiet while we destroy your balls" this is an unreal plot twist 😂
Holy shit. This video got way darker after that point. They're still just allegations so I can't say it concretely, but all but concretely... fuck this guy. Dude sounds literally evil.
That sentence applies to governments, soyfood and genderswap doctors too. (to keep it short, but I could fill 3 pages with my objections and rants about this)
Sometimes when you screenshot a Twitter feed, it can spontaneously look like that of an absolute creep, when in reality your screenshot shortcut keys are just dusty and need to be cleaned. In reality the pixels are entirely differently aligned, to look like an ordinary bland academic profile.
"You can't call this man a cheater because there *could* have been a planetary alignment in the Andromeda galaxy that caused an interstellar coronal mass ejection that may have struck Billy's home, localized entirely within the room his VCR was in."
Now this here is the smart, rational thinking, manly kinda man that Mr. Mitchell loves to love. In a strictly non-homosapien kinda way. Or however you say that.
Mr. Mitchell has been telling these frickin' mouthbreather's all of this, but their shallow intellect combined with the sheer jealousy they must experience knowing someone as cool as Mr. Billy MF'in Mitchell is out there killin' the game, prevents them from accepting the truth. Honestly, I envy them too, for they have the opportunity to experience the one thing that I never will... and that's me baby. Mr. Mitchell outtttttt!
- Mister Billy Freaking Mitchell
PS. God says buy my hot sauce or he'll kick your ass.
Skinner: ...Yes
If I had a nickel for every time a cheater hired a college professor to defend their cheating, I had two nickels.
Which isn't a lot but why did this happen twice?
12:44 "Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you Billy Mitchell's expert witness." IM DYING 😂
10:21 based on the evidence you provided, he's thinking of being pegged by his students while paying them $5000 a week.
Makes ya think... They all might run in the same circles
I swear, anything Billy Mitchell touches turns to feces. He's got a reverse Midas touch.
The Mitchell touch is real
In Germany, we call that the"Kot-midas Effekt"
That’s why he hired someone with a diaper fetish
The fact that you made a video about Moony-with a lot of restraint, engaged with him publicly, and accepted his apology is one thing. But to encourage people to subscribe to him and give his other work a watch? That is a level of decency and kindness that I did not expect. As of today? You earned a subscription from me.
It says a lot to Karl's character. That being said, I'll reserve judgement about Moony until after he donates all the money he made from that video.
@@entririhunter he just posted donation receipts
@@entririhunter $1673 out of pocket count?
It's almost as if some people know how to act like adults. Wow!
i'd recommend moony's video on christian games, it's quite interesting
Just when I feel my life is going nowhere, I realize I'm not Billy Mitchell, and I breathe a sigh of relief.
Karl if you ever think of making a video about me I'd rather just go to prison directly. No questions asked
I know this is a joke, but just don't be an asshole, and you should be fine. xD
If there's one thing I learned in life, that would be not to mess with Karl Jobst. Savage.
At this point Karl has shown not only is Billy a cheater but probably one of the worst people for what he’s done
Partway through the video: "Hey, Karl, there's nothing wrong with liking kink stuff online. Maybe cut the guy some slack."
[gets to Lu's lawsuit]
"WELP. NEVER MIND."
Its unprofessional when you are a public servant and have a public image. Major red flags. But yes the lawsuit was an entire can of worms that got dumped for the world to see thanks to karl.
Looking at the list of cases he’s provided an “expert” opinion for, he’s probably well known among sleazy lawyers as someone to call upon.
Yup. He's a democrat alright.
Good to see Billy Mitchell extending an olive branch as one of the patreon legends
Haha I just saw that!
If you record a VHS with dirty heads nothing comes out but snow.
Everybody: Investigative journalism is in crisis.
Karl: Hold my drink.
It is. There aren't many really journalists left. The only known one I can think of at the moment is James O'Keefe.
@@themonsterunderyourbed9408 You mean the guy who has been shown to fabricate evidence?
The Australian journalist friendlyjordies had to take down a video today because the NSW police won't protect them from the political gang they upset by reporting on them. It's reuploaded in some places already if you look for "friendlyjordies coronation" and they just put out a statement on their channel. Investigative journalism in Australia is absolutely in serious crisis.
@@Sebastian_Terrazas People say this a lot without showing evidence of said fabrication.
This comment hits different after watching friendlyjordie’s new video…real investigative journalism is being punished instead of celebrated the way it should be :(
The absolute disgust of seeing those public (lies) statements that Billie believed he had won is palpable. I hope Karl and his legal team can sink their teeth into him in court - the cheat has it coming.
I would love to see how Billy justify those text he made about Apollo in court
Gee, thanks, Karl. I've never felt my absolutely ghoulish existence more called out than with that ad.
