Comment on Billy Mitchell has surrendered

and Karl, at least, has incentive to string his lawsuit out as long as possible.

What is his incentive? Sorry, I watched a couple of the videos but haven’t been following too closely.

Mainly he has a good reason to make more videos.

According to Karl, Billy must pay all the legal fees if he withdraws from the lawsuit. He must also pay the legal fees if he loses. Billy’s only way out of paying would be to win the lawsuit.

So the longer Karl strings him along, the more the fees will mount.

And since Billy doesn’t have a leg to stand on he can either withdraw now, pay a lot of money, and admit he lied. Or he can keep fighting mounting more fees in the slim nope of winning.
