You all are blowing my mind right now. I have not met anyone, when his name is brought up, who does not know this guy.
Yeah, his ex associate who was fired has received years of bad press and YouTube bullying over going becoming Transgendered or coming out at least, leaving his family, etc. No legal issues yet on it, just more internet canceling things again, Mr. Beast is having claims against him by YouTubers trying to get views that he knew all along that his former employee groomed kids in discord chats. They did have a gaming channel that also has tons of subscribers that let kids or any subscriber compete.
As for fake events...he has thousands of people compete. One former worker ...upset he was fired is the only one who has discovered that his events are fake?
Just people upset he let them off the train. As for the illegal lotteries? Something many YouTubers have done and is probably a grey area on YouTube that could be illegal. Ok, it was not malicious in nature and again, as of now not one government agency has taken him to court over any of this. He is just being Johnny Depp'd by youtubers or guilty until proven innocent.
Still going up in subscribers as we speak though....
