A telling of the story of the quest for the Donkey Kong world record: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAQ2vEHq2N4 (also apparently a bunch of King of Kong is fabricated)
Billy Mitchell and Twin Galaxies has done such shady shit over the years that none of this is surprising for me to be honest. Hopefully somewhere can take over TG's shit some day, preferably sooner rather than later.

'Xelnia also happens to be the moderator of Donkey Kong Forum and has removed Mitchell’s score of 1,062,800 from the Donkey Kong Forum high score list. '
'Billy Mitchell, an arcade legend and one of the most polarizing characters in the 2007 documentary The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, is now under the microscope over claims that some of his high scores in Donkey Kong were generated in MAME – an open-source arcade emulator – and not on original arcade hardware. '
'The organization’s stance as of press time is as follows:"Twin Galaxies is in the process of fully-reviewing the compelling evidence provided by Jeremy Young to support his current score dispute case against Bily Mitchell's Donkey Kong score. '
'Allegations and evidence (lots of animated GIFs) against Mitchell were recently published on the Twin Galaxies forum by user Xelnia, whose real name is Jeremy Young. '
'For a full technical breakdown of Xelnia’s claim (and the community’s response), please do check out his post on Twin Galaxies. '
