I don't think that is true. In his final video (Source, trigger warning of course) he mentioned his failing health, chronic pain and a perceived betrayal by the speedrunning community. Not a word about the lawsuits in there.

I could be misremembering as I haven’t watched anything about it in a long while, maybe it was in a post? He kind of alluded to recent things caused financial hardships and with his health issues he couldn’t continue? I’ll have to watch the video again

I mean, my money's on you misremembering, or having that thought implanted by repeated coverage of Jobst claiming that to be the case. After all, any such statement would be Exhibit A in Jobst's defense. Considering the results of the suit...I'm gonna guess such a statement doesn't exist.
