I'm 33 (the early af unplanned child) and my siblings are slowly creeping their way into their 20s and its making me feel ancient. I feel this on all the levels of our universe and reality
Breaks my heart seeing him demolish those ps5s. I've been saving up for a year to get one of those. Hard to buy one with 5 kids. But we're all still happy with the ps4
Really though! It sucks I’ve been dying to get one but I’m a student and can barely afford life lol. Those poor kids who thought they’d have a chance to win one and he’s just there destroying them.
Because speed’s audiences aren’t 5 yo babies they’re teenagers who have watched people like Mutahar call out these cryptoscams and are informed enough to see a scam when there is one. The fact that teens and pre teens are more mature and informed than Speed who is almost an adult is embarrassing
It blows my mind that any creators are still promoting crypto pump and dumps to kids at this point, but it’s been shown that streamers can get away with pretty much anything, so I guess it’ll just keep happening until someone actually faces legal ramifications
@@mannyheffley5481 Did you hear the audio where he thought he was muted? He knew exactly what he was doing. Don't give that little shit any ground. He KNEW.
fr you start to develop that sense of responsibility at 18 i feel like, when you are met with what adults call "real world problems" which is a term i hate but serves to make clear what i mean (work, uni etc. higher pressures in general)
It’s so satisfying just to see a large group of people put their foot down and say “No”. Especially when they’re as young and impressionable as Speed’s audience. The kids are alright
@SavetionButcherMan You joined 4 days ago and type most of your comments in uppercase. How bad is paradox taking this to have accounts like yours here? 😂
As a 17 year old: I and any other teen would be able to have the mental capabilities to see what is and isn’t a scam. We are old enough to know better, accountability is really important, and I think apart of me feels that this fame at a young age has really gotten to his head to the point where he feels he doesn’t have to apologize or be held accountable for the bad this has caused or could have caused if any kids actually believed him. (Might edit this later to add on or fix my thoughts, hope you’re having a good day)
Yes, he knew. But he got offered 2 million to promote paradox. If you were in his position you would do the same. He's smart and knows the value of 2 million. If you don't accept that money then you're dumb.
That's the thing though, Coffee's whole video on the subject was about how Speed knew it was a scam and promoted it anyway. The hot mic moment as well as the moment after that when he slipped and said "then it'll be obvious..." on camera were both strong clues that he knew exactly what was going on. His concern during the stream was about the negative reaction from chat, not the revelation that he was dealing with a scam. So yeah, he can try to apologize and act naive all he wants, but in reality he's no better than the Paul brothers or even Jay Manzini.
I hate when people excuse actions because someone is a minor Just because you’re 17 doesn’t mean you can’t be a shitty person. And scamming his chat and destroying a shit ton of ps5s is something a shitty person does
I do have to disagree - your brain only stops developing at 25. I was a completely different person at age 16-17 and I look back with so much shame. I think yes he made a mistake but he shouldn't be lynched for it - no matter how much you want to twist it and make him a villain he's literally just a teenager with a lot of money and not much guidance.
@@ares2380 you dont need guidance at that age. Youre not a toddler or an infant, you know what you're doing. He knew what he did and why he did that. He is guilty and he is a scammer.
@@ares2380nobody is saying he should be lynched, are you delusional? All people are saying is that he shouldn’t be excused. He did something wrong, and he should be held accountable
@Ares You are as much responsible for your actions at 17-18 as this guy is now. No healthy person with at least a mediocrum of formal education at that age is free of responsibility, or an Idiot at that - which you seem to argue, that these people are simply dumb because they are young. No, that's not it. They are dumb because they are thoughtless, because they have no awareness of their responsibility in society. This of course comes more easily with maturity - but most people are mature enough to condemn these disgusting actions, like supporting a scam. An ass is an ass, no matter what age.
@@pigeonman4979 Doesn't make it any less disheartening how little these people value their money. And imo it's worse since thats a few thousand dollars worth of landfill e-waste.
I can’t stand kids like Speed that want to act grown but play the ‘I’m a minor I don’t know any better’ card when they get called out. He 100% knew what he was doing.
what's sad is most of the donations were directed to Speed and making sure that Speed knew it was a scam. that's the sickening part. he had been guilt tripping his fans the entire stream and it forced many of them to feel as though they should warn their favorite streamer who they felt was unaware about the scam taking place while he was completely aware and simply de-escalating the situation. a lot of them are young so oblivious to stuff like that, but it does show just how much Speed knee about whether it was a scam or not.
@@miklyways I feel like every youtuber/streamer who promote crypto know it's a scam, but they just can't resist the money. Just look at Jake Tran, he made a video about crypto being a scam but in that same video he also promoted a crypto scam.
He's just 17 he obviously didn't knew about it , and thinks everyone is nice person like him . Why would he ruin his reputation over some small amount???

Bro robbed those PS5s from someone who wanted them during the Christmas gift season and also tried scamming his fans at the same time. What a great guy. >sweet Jesus these comments are a mess. Also, when I said "robbed," I mean he robbed a family the opportunity to buy them for their kids. Obviously he didn't literally steal them.
He purposely left it unmuted to expose the people assumedly because he wanted people to know it was a scam and he already got the cheque for the promotion so props to him but still stupid he would even put himself in that situation
@@vitaleriof I'm not even really a fan of his and maybe he didn't purposely leave it unmuted, but glad he did so whoever was dumb enough to almost fall for this was steered away
It gives me a little extra hope in the younger generation that even they were able to see through the Ponzi scheme. You’d think the audience who consumes Speed’s stuff that was specifically targeted wouldn’t but I was pleasantly surprised.
The youth is way better at spotting scams than they're given credit for. I mean, we have grandma and grandpa out here teaching us to be suspicious of everything and everyone in real life, but they would confidently give away their life savings when a kind stranger on the ol' information superhighway told them to.
Yeah he’s fans are pretty smart and Charlie said that a lot of people fell for fake Ronaldo in tweeter but that’s just cap there fans aren’t that dumb even tho there mainly kids to fall for that when it’s obvious it isn’t Ronaldo
Oh no he promoted something that his young fans cannot even invest in either way 😂😂why would this be considered scamming he literally just got a big bag …
I love that you and coffeezilla colaborated on this story. I actually saw his video first and he had a link to yours. Now I know you too. You are awesome. After FTX and all the fraudulent, stupid and illegal practices in Crypto, I am happy that us as a community can get together and call these A-Holes out. Thank you for an amazing video.
I hate this "he's 17, he's still a kid" shit 💀 being 12 is a kid, being 14 is a kid but 17 is literally one step away from being a legal adult. By then you must at least have sum kind of understanding of what's shitty and what's not
they need to hold the streamers/"influencers" who promote these obvious scams accountable, don't use the "he's still 17, he's young, he was goaded into it" excuse. He clearly knew what he went into
Friendly reminder that Speed's birthday is Jan 21. Meaning he's got about 2 more months to milk the "Im just a kid" excuse before he can't legally call himself a child anymore.
The sad thing about this is that Speed’s audience is mainly children, so they would be more likely to fall for any type of scams like this moving forward. And it’s completely irresponsible.
It's because 90 percent of the people left in the world don't do anything about anything when someone fucks with there pond some say sheep some say guppies but ok there is more sharks in these waters than people try to show and some day they will all come around and save the people that are good souled while destroying those who seek benefits from ones loss
Speed has used the "I'm a kid, I'll get better" card so many times that it's sad how many people still think he regrets the irresponsible things he's done.
@@h3avenscent i mean he could be right. i've never watched this streamer so i cant give solid evidence, but there is a chance he was unmuted on purpose.
It’s so crazy. 2 years ago if he did this, he’d be removed from the platform. He does it today and literally everyone is just like “wtf are you doing dude”
@@idontneedameme3665 No, two years ago when crapcoin was worth more people would've poured money into this ponzi, because Matt Damon and co were shilling crypto everywhere.
In the begging it was pretty funny, then he started hanging around people who clearly mean no good to him. I think their influence did a lot of harm. It's sad what social media & money will make people do
I don't agree that he is a kid. One year later and he is an adult especially in this country. A kid won't become an adult in one year. He should take responsibility from his actions but of course he won't do that when you have fame in a short period of time.
Asmongold really hit it on the head when he said in 5 years, people are going to specifically remember him for this and people are still going to in 10 years going on. Speed took the fattest L and a lot of people are not going to forgive him for this soon if not ever.
@@jilliansmaniotto2326 remember when PSI other "big" name CSGO players did the same shit with gambling sites that were scams? Look how badly they washed out because of it, Speed will be no different
SHOWSPEED needs better management around him, there’s no way a UA-camr his size should have a manager who lets this all slide and agrees to let speed promote scams like this.
@@Thomas-cq6ii the problem is its really hard to believe that he intended to expose them, they had to edit the audio of the video so that it is more clear to listen to. That means he either has the intention of scamming his viewers or give him the benefit of the doubt and say that he is just young and getting manipulated. But either way he still has responsibilities because it is his platform and he isn't just some random people on the internet.
I've seen people claiming that he "did it on purpose" because he's "too experienced" with streaming to forget to mute a mic. Even experienced streamers make dumb mistakes, for example DSP jerking it on camera and that wheel chair guy. The kid obviously let his rise in popularity go to his head and wanted more money.
I mean yeah, everyone makes mistakes, but in this case I highly doubt that. Not to mention those examples aren’t helping..since they (the wheelchair guy) did pretty bad things.
I totally agree, kids and teenagers are still constantly learning so it's not weird for them to learn something new. Early to mid 20 year olds on the other hand, think they have learned everything and and this makes them more gullible. I'm 36 and my brother is 27 so he's 9 years younger he acted like he knew more at 22 than he does now. I also experienced it personally, sometime in my mid to late twenties I started realizing how much I DIDN'T know which is the first step to NOT being a know it all, and therefore you're less gullible because you realize there's probably more to it (whatever it is).
When your fans been scammed one times two many by these recent batch of UA-camrs within the past 5 years, you get used to it lol. That’s how I see it at least. Most of the new channels that came up within that time frame have fans within the same age range from that time to now.
Nowadays people make the weirdest people their idols. People really be turning into " influencers" just by acting crazy and doing stupid sh*t. And Speed is a very good example. Im glad this sh*t happened so that at least some people can open their damn eyes.
I never understood what was so funny about him, young boy just yelling and saying stupid shit. I get people trying to entertain themselves, not every content needs to teach you something, sometimes you just wanna kick back, but how tf do you relax with this guy on screen????
@@kovudiangelo7734 you don’t get it? Well there’s a thing called brains. It’s interesting cuz every single one work a lil different. So like different interests and such. I do understand tho. its weird when they go against what you think is cool
We all had sex when we were 15 or 16 years old. We all had several sexual partners before marriage. if he has sex with girls of his age that makes him more similar to an average person. Also, there is nothing wrong with having a lot of sexual partners before marriage. In order for behavior to be immoral it has to have negative effect on society. If everyone has a lot of sexual partners before marriage and uses contraceptives there are no unwanted pregnancies, no spreading of diseases, no negative effect on society.
I first heard about this situation through people actually praising Speed for apparently purposely unmuting his mic to expose the scam. Now I'm wondering if he actually did that or if it's a coping mechanism from his fans.
One view I have on it is that, pretty sure he woulda got paid for that stream, even with people saying its a scam he wouldn't say that on a stream with those people surely? so instead of saying yeah guys maybe it is a scam, he left his mic unmuted so to them it seems like he believes it by not agreeing with chat n saying spam w whatever whatever, but that is one view
He muted his main mic, but his camera mic or something (a mic that's barely audible that he doesn't usually mess with) was accidentally left on. The number of hoops that some of Speed's fans will jump through to claim his innocence is ridiculous. I'm okay with Speed redeeming himself somehow, but his "apology" was horrendous and we can't say he was actually trying to do the right thing.
yeah and then someone who actually knew that shit was on tried to tell him his mic, and he snapped back with "Iknow what im doing" LMAO shit writes itself.
I have no doubt he is aware. That guy is cringe but not an absolute idiot, though he would have us second guess that by accepting the sellout...I mean shoutout deal.
Seeing him breaking those PS5s on display when people are still struggling to find one today is beyond me its like speed is really speedrunning his downfall
if I bought a ps5 and threw it would that lead to my downfall? I see where your coming from but nobody is gonna cry over that and most people alr have a ps5 from my experience. I just think you are overreacting a little
This is very educational, it shows exactly how scammers talk. They obfuscate as much as possible and make personal comments. If anyone meets someone who talks like this, no need to look for evidence, just assume it's a scam.
As a 16 year old, being a minor is no excuse. Just because you are a minor does not mean you have to be stupid. Especially if you have that big of an audience.
And 11 months later nobody seems to care that he was not only promoting but actively involved in a predatory system designed to prey on his viewers the people that make him famous and is still one of the most popular streamers on any platform, the fact that people just decided unanimously to forget about this is crazy, people just don’t care about content creators actively taking advantage of the viewers that give them their careers, if this happened in 2016 like when syndicate and cargo lotto happened this guy would in a court hearing just like they were.
Sadly enough, he also knew what he was doing. People say he is 17 are stupid. There such thing as juvenile jail or justice system that deals with 17 year olds and younger who committed crimes. People are 17 are aware of their actions.
I just love coffeezilla. The man knows what he is doing and he genuinely helps people. The way he just grinds people and does his investigations is rigorous and thorough. Keep pumping the stocks
People are plenty aware when they are 17. You don’t magically turn from a child into an all-knowing and mature human being when you turn 18. Usually when you are still immature at that age, that lasts for at least a good couple years more
@@inflips422true, but in speeds situation its different, why would he risk his entire career/community for only 2 million dollars? He could make that much in a year, such a stupid move tbh
@@olanze he isn’t risking anything. This incident wont matter in a few months. He will have the same views/money as he always had. The only thing different is his pockets being $2M heavier. I don’t understand why people can’t understand that. He isn’t gonna magically lose all his viewers. If he does lose some, they will get replaced. Too much money is not a thing. Specially at such a young age.
What consequences? In a few months everything will be back to normal like they always do. The only thing different is his pockets will be $2M heavier. There is no reason at all for him to not take that deal.
It's almost sad that his child audience is able to recognize the scam. That means these kids are being sold scams like this so frequently that they can immediately identify one. I'm happy no one was taken advantage of but this shouldn't be something children have to worry about
@@gregsoccerman Because they've likely been scammed or nearly scammed in the past, which means it's sad that someone is out here scamming not like teens but like little kids
Well yeah, it doesn't take much. We can find and learn so many through a google search. I had a phone locked out when I was 10 or 11 and it said I had to pay a sum of like 1,000-2,000 dollars, I don't remember. Some absurd amount of money, but they're everywhere and pretty easy to recognize once you've been on the internet for a year, maybe less
Crypto is synonymous with scams at this point. Even if it was a legitimate project (as if those exist) the chat would be saying the same thing. Especially with all the NFT stuff that happened. Young people don't trust crypto
They should get sued for not only promoting scams. Their name "Paradox" comes from another game development company known as "Paradox Interactive" a game who made Cities Skylines. This could confuse people that the company is also making the crypto scheme, which could lead to misinformation and guild tripping
I... feel that might not have been completely intentional? Paradox is, after all, a regular word. And the meaning of the word makes the fact it's a cryptocurrency even funnier!
@@tadeogomez7303 I dont know about that. Sure the official name might be “paradox Interactive” but it was Commonly known as and referred by “paradox” and “paradox games”. The problems is they themselves sometimes refer to them as “paradox”. This is probably threading a very thin line like another gaming company calling themselves “bandai” as Opposed to “bandai namco”
Idk why people are surprised that Speed has turned out to be like this tho... it's not as if he's been a shining example of good human decency in his journey to where he is at now 🤷🏼♂️ I get he's only 17 or whatever so his immaturity kinda makes sense, but like.. The guy knows exactly what he's doing, he knows how to milk it, and he has no respect for his viewers and even less so for those who aren't simps for him so of course he is gna take advantage. In short, I think he's a bad egg, and needs to come down a few levels back to reality. Flying a little too close to the sun if you ask me
@@pudding9596 alright man he’s 17. He has self awareness. Being a character 96% of the time doesn’t excuse promoting a scam. That being said, if they’re offering him a bunch of money, I can’t really blame him.
Something that my dad always says about things like this that has kept a good hold on my decision making is this "if something seems too good to be true, it probably is." All of these claims by the crypto seem way to good to be true
Exactly!! If it was so easy to make money, everyone would be rich. Don’t ever think you found some loophole to make money and get rich. People are just greedy and get blinded by greed.
Kind of floored that they found a Cristiano Ronaldo impersonator, brought him to a 17 year old's bedroom, filled the joint with PS5 boxes and didn't think that anyone would find them or their crypto shilling the least bit suspicious.
Yeah but Charlie and Coffee generally care about us enough to educate us on these sorts of thing. It's like caring through teaching, which is genuine. Any youtubers like that care imo.
There is a few educating their audience and seem to care a bit but of course most are selfish and do not care about anything else than benefitting for themselves unfortunately.

Him being a kid does not matter he still knows right from wrong. He knows what he's doing. Your gonna do adult stuff and act like you got wisdom your gonna get treated like one.
I think this just goes to show how quick Speed's rise to the top was. The fact that he can be allowed to go through with a Sponsored stream like this just shows that he hasn't got a competent enough team around him to tell him what's the wise thing to do. I hope he finds this a good learning curve and that he can find a team that aren't just a bunch of "glad-handing yes men".
Faze and all the other idiots promoted scams too but it's just bad timing. If this was 3 months earlier while the ponzi was still trapping greedy suckers who want easy returns, no one would care.
When Coffeezilla said that Speed was promoting a Crypto, my brain literally auto-replaced the word "Crypto" with "Scam" and i was like "Why would Speed say that so openly?" before i remembered that "Crypto" TECHNICALLY doesn't mean the same as scam I'm just so used to all crypto currencies being a scam that my brain just defaulted to "Crypto = Scam", it's wild

And 11 months later nobody seems to care that he was not only promoting but actively involved in a predatory system designed to prey on his viewers the people that make him famous and is still one of the most popular streamers on any platform, the fact that people just decided unanimously to forget about this is crazy, people just don’t care about content creators actively taking advantage of the viewers that give them their careers, if this happened in 2016 like when syndicate and cargo lotto happened this guy would in a court hearing just like they were.
Sadly enough, he also knew what he was doing. People say he is 17 are stupid. There such thing as juvenile jail or justice system that deals with 17 year olds and younger who committed crimes. People are 17 are aware of their actions.
I just love coffeezilla. The man knows what he is doing and he genuinely helps people. The way he just grinds people and does his investigations is rigorous and thorough.
Keep pumping the stocks
Coffeezilla just a man telling the truth
People are plenty aware when they are 17. You don’t magically turn from a child into an all-knowing and mature human being when you turn 18. Usually when you are still immature at that age, that lasts for at least a good couple years more
thats true, but i'm sure anyone above the age of 13 knows that what speed was promoting was indeed a scam
@@pe4ry_editz you would think that but like people in their 30’s still fall for these crypto scams
But when your offered 2m up front any 17yr old is taking that
@@inflips422true, but in speeds situation its different, why would he risk his entire career/community for only 2 million dollars? He could make that much in a year, such a stupid move tbh
@@olanze he isn’t risking anything. This incident wont matter in a few months. He will have the same views/money as he always had. The only thing different is his pockets being $2M heavier. I don’t understand why people can’t understand that. He isn’t gonna magically lose all his viewers. If he does lose some, they will get replaced. Too much money is not a thing. Specially at such a young age.
Speed can’t stop getting into controversies, good god.
am butter than penguin 0
His entire rise to fame was based on shock value so I’m not surprised
why is there so many bots in these comment sections
His fans will still have his back regardless
Bro is the DaBaby of UA-cam 😭😭😭😭
The fact that people are defending him and saying that people would do it too is wild, I actually hate whenever people never admit they’re wrong.
Not surprised that he didn’t think about the consequences, dude lit fireworks in his room😂
He did? Wow that's so stupid lol
Even tho I'm younger than him I know that shit's freaking stupid bruh🤦🏻
@@loope_ ….
What consequences? In a few months everything will be back to normal like they always do. The only thing different is his pockets will be $2M heavier. There is no reason at all for him to not take that deal.
lmfaoo fr
@@practicalcucumber1395 Every choice/action, good or bad, has consequences. Consequence simply means an outcome to an event
He’s 17, not 5. He knew exactly what he was doing
god will help you
Speed sucks

@Peniley Majorey huh
@Peniley Majorey bro just say you hate black people and be done with it 🤦🏾♂️
It's almost sad that his child audience is able to recognize the scam. That means these kids are being sold scams like this so frequently that they can immediately identify one. I'm happy no one was taken advantage of but this shouldn't be something children have to worry about
@@gregsoccermani think by "That means these kids are being sold scams like this so frequently that they can immediately identify one."
@@gregsoccerman Because they've likely been scammed or nearly scammed in the past, which means it's sad that someone is out here scamming not like teens but like little kids
They are teens, most likely 16+, they’ve had enough time on the internet so see similar situations, not neccessarily getting scammed themselves
Well yeah, it doesn't take much. We can find and learn so many through a google search. I had a phone locked out when I was 10 or 11 and it said I had to pay a sum of like 1,000-2,000 dollars, I don't remember. Some absurd amount of money, but they're everywhere and pretty easy to recognize once you've been on the internet for a year, maybe less
Crypto is synonymous with scams at this point. Even if it was a legitimate project (as if those exist) the chat would be saying the same thing.
Especially with all the NFT stuff that happened. Young people don't trust crypto
Feels like the least speed could do is actually do a real ps5 giveaway
They should get sued for not only promoting scams. Their name "Paradox" comes from another game development company known as "Paradox Interactive" a game who made Cities Skylines. This could confuse people that the company is also making the crypto scheme, which could lead to misinformation and guild tripping
I... feel that might not have been completely intentional? Paradox is, after all, a regular word. And the meaning of the word makes the fact it's a cryptocurrency even funnier!
@@tadeogomez7303 I dont know about that. Sure the official name might be “paradox Interactive” but it was Commonly known as and referred by “paradox” and “paradox games”. The problems is they themselves sometimes refer to them as “paradox”. This is probably threading a very thin line like another gaming company calling themselves “bandai” as Opposed to “bandai namco”
They won't get sued for that lmao
Grandfather paradox aboutta be taken to court 💀💀💀

Thanks for bringing awareness to this scam. The more people alerting others that something is a scam the less potential victims there are.
Idk why people are surprised that Speed has turned out to be like this tho... it's not as if he's been a shining example of good human decency in his journey to where he is at now 🤷🏼♂️
I get he's only 17 or whatever so his immaturity kinda makes sense, but like.. The guy knows exactly what he's doing, he knows how to milk it, and he has no respect for his viewers and even less so for those who aren't simps for him so of course he is gna take advantage.
In short, I think he's a bad egg, and needs to come down a few levels back to reality. Flying a little too close to the sun if you ask me
"bad egg" 💀
I doubt a lot of 17 year olds would say no to several millions lmao. Not saying it's okay because he's 17, since 17 year olds aren't stupid.
You need some serious self reflection if your writing paragraphs over a minors moral compass especially when he’s a character 96% of the time
@@pudding9596 alright man he’s 17. He has self awareness. Being a character 96% of the time doesn’t excuse promoting a scam.
That being said, if they’re offering him a bunch of money, I can’t really blame him.
2 mil is 2 mil lil bro
And he still isnt banned or cancled is crazy
Something that my dad always says about things like this that has kept a good hold on my decision making is this "if something seems too good to be true, it probably is." All of these claims by the crypto seem way to good to be true
Exactly!! If it was so easy to make money, everyone would be rich. Don’t ever think you found some loophole to make money and get rich. People are just greedy and get blinded by greed.
Kind of floored that they found a Cristiano Ronaldo impersonator, brought him to a 17 year old's bedroom, filled the joint with PS5 boxes and didn't think that anyone would find them or their crypto shilling the least bit suspicious.
Speed is 17?
@@zamaskowany12 yes
@@Iminsideyourwall_ Nah that's crazy, i thought he's like mid 20's at least with the shit he does on stream
@@zamaskowany12 I thought he was older because the ppl he hung out with are older 🤷♂️
No streamer or youtuber cares about you. They only care about "you caring about them" and about your money.
It’s sad that people need to be told this
yet here you are on moists channel
Yeah but Charlie and Coffee generally care about us enough to educate us on these sorts of thing. It's like caring through teaching, which is genuine. Any youtubers like that care imo.
There is a few educating their audience and seem to care a bit but of course most are selfish and do not care about anything else than benefitting for themselves unfortunately.
@@Maximus20778 The classic response. It's still true whether you nitpick at it or not lmao.
"You know who's more gullible than kids and teenagers? Adults who think they're early." Damn Charlie, that hits hard.
Thank you for exposing these criminals.
True
♥️how tf u get that heart 😂
Yes finally, A fact that I agree - 👴🏻

I could not agree more with Charlie's "Assume guilty until proven innocent" on crypto.
it’s such a shame that people like him still have fans after doing something like this…
More fans actually. His numbers went up according to socialblade.
bro chill out he didnt fkn murder someone
@@dimiii2192 That doesn't really say anything. He didn't murder anyone. True. He did try to scam the shit out of people, and maybe rob someone out of a couple hundred, if not thousands. Also true.
If I do shady shit it shouldn’t be all good just because I didn’t kill someone….Lol
@@KoroCB he’s promoting a random crypto nobody ever heard of. If you spend your money on that you deserve to lose it.
everything is supposedly the next big crypto but they all fail
It's so sad there are people like this, destroying valuable resources. Just know all the expensive technology and natural resources that go into creating a console, breaks my heart.
🤓
It astounds me the amount of people on tiktok trying to claim speed did all this intentionally to expose them as scammers, but like, why would he have them on his stream to begin with in that case
Huuuggee amount of money
He literally got paid a million+ at 17 who wouldn’t do it
If he did it on purpose, he got the check, throrwn the shit on the fan, and got out rich, and without scamming anyone, I don't belive it.
@@TheBasicLime you don’t know how many money he had from streaming. You don’t have any fanbase to lose if you were given 2 million dollars knowing you are promoting a scam, unlike him.
Dude, for the past year, I have spent my time staring at the pictures in the background, trying so hard to figure out what the hell I was looking at. It took me a whole ass year to realize those were clothes. A shirt and a hoodie lived in my head rent free for A YEAR. I'm so sorry for how slow I am. This took me too long. I feel shame.
Him being a kid does not matter he still knows right from wrong. He knows what he's doing. Your gonna do adult stuff and act like you got wisdom your gonna get treated like one.
I think this just goes to show how quick Speed's rise to the top was. The fact that he can be allowed to go through with a Sponsored stream like this just shows that he hasn't got a competent enough team around him to tell him what's the wise thing to do. I hope he finds this a good learning curve and that he can find a team that aren't just a bunch of "glad-handing yes men".
At this point since he promoted a crypto scam, his career is probably dead at this point

Faze and all the other idiots promoted scams too but it's just bad timing. If this was 3 months earlier while the ponzi was still trapping greedy suckers who want easy returns, no one would care.
@@LermaBean probably not since tons of streamers and youtubers make much worse stuff without reprocussions.
Hard to tell whether or not he genuinely understood why this was a bad thing
yeahhhh nothing's going on between those ears
He understood.
He understood he left the mic on purposly to let every One know it was a scam
@@simple85 don’t give him that credit until he says it himself
@@simple85 if that was true he smart for getting the bag and still exposing them. I doubt he did that on purpose I could be wrong.
Imagine how bad it must be for the scammers to be called out by Speed's 12 year old fans, i couldn't live with the embarassment smh.
When Coffeezilla said that Speed was promoting a Crypto, my brain literally auto-replaced the word "Crypto" with "Scam" and i was like "Why would Speed say that so openly?" before i remembered that "Crypto" TECHNICALLY doesn't mean the same as scam
I'm just so used to all crypto currencies being a scam that my brain just defaulted to "Crypto = Scam", it's wild
