KING OF KONG Star Billy Mitchell Stripped Of DONKEY KONG Record After Cheating Proven

Star of The King of Kong: A Fistful Of Quarters documentary Billy Mitchell has been stripped of his Twin Galaxies high score titles after an investigation proved he completed the records on emulation software. Engadget reports that all of Mitchell's records on Twin Galaxies have been removed in addition to his Donkey Kong title, and that he has been banned from ever competing in the scene again.
