King of Kong star Billy Mitchell accused of lying about Donkey Kong scores, playing on emulator rather than real hardware

Billy Mitchell, everyone's favorite villain in The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters documentary, may have just outed as a real-life villain. There's a bit of a purge running through the official world records for various video games, and it appears Billy is next on the chopping block.

A Donkey Kong fansite has removed three high score submissions from Billy Mitchell after analyzing his gameplay. They now seem to think Mr. Mitchell was playing on an emulator, rather than real arcade hardware, which is a huge no-no in the world of competitive high scores. As such, the highest submission on the scoreboard from Mitchell now is one that was verified in person with another eye witness.
