Walter Day questioned his score but essentially since Mitchell is a major shareholder in Twins Galaxies, he accepted the score. Watch the whole video. You decide.

Having met several of them "from that era," I personally found them to be quite friendly. But I understand it's fun to hate on them.

I remember Billy from being the main "top scores" guy in the back of EGM magazine and a few others during the 1990s, im pretty sure its the same person. I dont know about him personally other than what is said online, but i will say that more and more cheaters will be found as time goes on, simply due to how easy it is to watch a frame-by-frame play now via emulators or video software. The smoking gun for Billy was how Donkey Kong builds its levels at the start in MAME vs the original...seeing the difference and seeing what Billy's own video shows in a frame-by-frame, its clear he used MAME and that he is a cheater.

..........Aaaaaaaaaaand here comes the inevitable lawsuit..........

Guessing being stripped of his title has been eating into his hot sauce profits..........

More info here. Apparently, he filed the suit over a year ago, but it's only being reported now for some reason.
