Kill screen me and reboot the thread on MAME if old
The fact he was able to do this live after only a few weeks of trying just makes his actual cheating even more tragic

Billy Mitchell has been the subject of a lot of talk, speculation and indeed scandal this year. He hasn't been this popular since the King of Kong film was launched. At this point, I should note that if you haven't watched it, you really should. Earlier this year though, he hit a major scandal when Twin Galaxies (under new ownership) starting opening high score record submissions to be contested.
Following a massive investigation from both TG and the gaming community, all of Billy Mitchells high scores and records were removed as invalid (or more accurately removed under a cloud of disingenuine representation) and he was permanently banned from high score submissions in the future.
After the news broke, Billy Mitchell has been quite a busy man. He has been touring the US on his 'Road To Redemption' door attempting to clear his name or salvage his reputation. These events have been said to be a mixed bag affair. While he does hold panels, he is apparently highly resistant to taking questions from the public. He has been accused of using the tour more to grandstand his own views and opinions while avoiding being challenged openly.
The throwing out of his score submissions has placed a dark cloud over Billy Mitchell. Many believe that his scores may have been entirely faked and that he actually isn't very good at games. Donkey Kong specifically. In a recent Twitch stream though, in a live and confirmed recording, he cracked exactly 1 million points on the game. A major milestone for the title.

Looks like Billy hit 1.047 mil earlier today. Impressive to say the least.

More fuel for the drama I guess!
