    Who is the author of this video? What type of stuff do they usually do? Generally credible?

      He’s an ex-worker at Jimmy’s firm. If everything he said is false, it’s an easy defamation lawsuit for Jimmy versus him. He dug his own grave. I think he wasn’t dumb to do that. The points he made made sense to me, except the legal stuff. I’m not an attorney. Anyway, we haven’t heard Jimmy’s side.

        Why do people call him Jimmy so often? We don’t know him. He signs MB on his merch so it seems unnecessary.

        True that if the guy making accusations does not have proof, it will be a pretty shit position to be in. I have seen other creators giving him the benefit of the doubt based on their experiences collaborating Mr. Beast though, so it’s kind of early to tell. And the illegal lottery accusations seem pretty straight forward to prove based on archived videos circulating.

        Edit: reworded first few sentences.

          If he did conduct illegal lotteries, what a 💩 way to treat your viewers, many of whom were kids, seemingly. He said something like “The 10th buyer in the next 5 min will win 30000.” right? Did those winners get their prizes? If no, it was a scam.

          The 💤 deprivation was inhuman. The running thing was cruel.
