Is there like a full account and all amount of all the skins that are banned forever ? if there is not, it might be fckg millions millions and millions of dollars wasted forever
all of the accounts the skins are being transferred through are 3 lettered so maybe it makes a code or something idfk but maybe it doesnt mean anything
This must be related to some shady, if not criminal business. Wild theory on my part: I can imagine that this has to do with some tax evasion or maybe a country (like i think Indonesia or Bangladesh, not sure who did propose it recently) banning the access to games and game services. A asian country makes sense, because the currency in these countries is often unstable while cs skins are fairly stable trending up in prices, just look what happened in Sri Lanka recently, an entire currency basically extinguished.
Most likely a Chinese trader trying to launder money. Currently in the stock market a china based company just went up from $25 to $2000 in 10 days. So lot's of exploiting happening at this moment.
They could funnel skins to an account and hand that account over to someone else as 1M payment. Officials don't have any way to track money in a video game.
My theory is market manipulation, it’s probably controlled by a group that buys out all the rare skins and slowly releases them to the market for a higher price
@@FSGoingStraight why? skin prices have massively increased in value. If you bought all they skins at market price 6 years ago you could sell them on at a massive profit
@@Sensiseagal Well.. The investment scene has dramatically changed in the past 6 years. When you want to invest you wouldnt do it with gold-items as their ROI isnt as high. Say you buy a knife for 300 Bucks and it increases to 350. Thats less than buying cases for 8 cents each and selling them for 16 cents.
Tbh it isn't all that stupid to launder through cs. Just because we can see the history of items, doesn't mean that EVEN IF law enforcement would know how to do that and if they could, there is a question of it being a legitimate evidence (at the end of the day csgofloat isn't official valve site). On the other hand it might be someone trying to (though very questionably) get around yuan capital controls, as China has been cracking down on Macao.
I second this. Money laundering and moving money out of controlled markets is high probability for me. Crypto money has a history of being used for stuff like this. And this skin funneling operation might be the reaction to china's crack down on crypto money
bro, for anyone that sells drugs or weapons, cs go items are the perfect way to laundry money. its really hard to tell if the skins were bought with the money of the illegal activities or not. Not only that but, who will think : "well we got the drug dealer, the drugs, but we didnt found any form of money. Lets check for his steam account to see if anything special is going on". This doesnt happen, as they will look into probably everything, but his steam account. And even if they do, how you gonna prove that the money that was used was the illegal? its really, really hard.
@@alexandreiss0agr276 If you talk about the streetdealers that might be true, but i think there are other and better ways for them to hide/stack cash. It isn't really easy for them to suddenly get a cashout if they out of the blue need a larger sum of money. If you mean some higher-ups of drugdealing/trafficking i doubt it, since the money would be miniscule. For example is a kilo of heroin worth over $100 000 according to google, so thats "just 10 kilos" which is not much in the grand scheme of trafficking. I think @azurio is on to something, sounds very plausible.
I think its a Chinese rich guy with party connections. He bought knives that were heavily buffed in CS2 with the new lighting engine, all the knives that skyrocketed in popularity. He likely had inside Valve knowledge on this change and bought before everyone knew how it would look.
This doesn't have to be money laundering, this could also be a few people trying to drive up the market prices by emulating high demand. Although money laundering could be it as well, trying to hide the tracks.

Arrow was actually paid to Distract Ohne with the new Snow leopards Gloves... He wasn't sleepy at all.. He was meant as a Distraction for the account to Transfare the Skins.
Yeah there is definitely a lot of shady stuff going on, but whoever does it with cs items is also there to profit on it imo. Otherwise you could just use these random game items for games nobody plays but are listed and sold for insane amounts on the steam community market to convert money into other currencies
I am surprised that no one has yet mentioned that all the accounts have a similar name pattern - three lower case letters. Very easy to spot even if they did not have the "broken" inventories.
but this can actually mess up the economy. if they own 100% of a particular skin they can manage the prices of the skin since you wouldnt be able to get them from anywhere else except cases which would take a lot of luck.
They can mess up the economy, but not make money from that. As long as people can get skins from cases, they will be selling them down to a certain multiple of the case price (600-1000x, depending on the knives available and floats and stuff). Even with a huge number you'd have to keep buying up to inflate the price (losing money, since they're not worth that much) or keep selling to push it down (losing money, since they're worth more).
@@speedstyle. it’s different with factory new skins because they are incredibly more rare than normal versions on gloves, hence the $5k-$10k+ prices, those skins would be a different story to manipulate simply because of their rarity.
i feel like the transit account creation has to be automated and just picks 3 random characters for the name, right? i suppose its because 3 random characters are more likely to look like a legit name at a glance than just keyboard mashing
if you wanna take a gamble with some extra funds, buy some of the remaining FN snow leopards and slingshot gloves just in case these accounts get banned with them lol
Honestly I would assume this is just someone funneling as much of each item into their possession to control the markup on them. If they own like 80-90% of any circulating item they can basically dictate the price of it when they sell it off later.
bro its crazy that this guy bought all these dopplers and shiny guns (that look good in cs2). Its like he knew CS2 was coming out and sold at the best price this dude knows something we do not. Probably the best investments in csgo/cs2 history
It could just be tax planning stuff. I thought of this as the account had so many same items. That's how tax planning works with art. You control the supply so you can set the price really high. Then you can donate the art and you get the fake price as deductible. Probably not tho. Just a thought. In art they buy like a lot of 1-50k$ art and then later claim its price is like 2 mil per painting.
That is not how it works. They do not buy the same item and then reappraise and donate them. They buy up collections from an artist (which is different paintings and not all the same items), they then get someone to appraise them for a huge mark up, which is then bought by typically a friend or accomplice. This validates the artist and paintings as being valuable and therefore artificially inflating the rest of the collection. This has nothing to do with the supply as this can be done with very few paintings or every painting an artist has done, either way the price goes up. Also to donate them they typically have to be culturally significant. How on earth are they going to convince someone a collection of CSGO skins is anything of the sort.
@@ridiak3637 Yes. Obviously. And it does have something to do with the supply even though paintings are different. And the idea works the same with skins that are the same item instead of being from the same collection.
@@LarryJL The idea does not work the same at all. One exploits the uniqueness of work, to then have a huge mark-up in price without reference to argue against. The other exploits the scarceness of an item, which is not unique, circulating the market, and therefore increasing its value. Your point would be valid if they owned nearly all the supply and they kept selling and buying for a new crazy price. But they do not, so I am confused on how you think it is similar at all. I would be interested to hear your reasoning though as you gave none. Once you try to justify it you will see my point. I am not trying to argue, I just wanted to point out the incorrect conclusions you are drawing.
@@ridiak3637 Both systems work by controlling the supply and artificially raising the book price of the items. This also happens with art. It's not as different as you claim.

They all have 3 letter names as well maybe it’s a group of people all working together to transfer to one person to keep all the stock after buying at a lower price and then release once the cases go up at a higher price
Why would they go through all of the effort to trade the skins between alt accounts just to deposit them all into one massive and public inventory at the end?
I have a feeling that the reason they were all in transit for so long was just to keep the skins moving total investment i thnk i dont think its shaddy
@@alexandreiss0agr276 lmao he crashed and burned and went out like a jerk. It was his own fault. Screw him. But you’re a wonderful person and I hope you fare much better than he.
According to online sources (don’t ask for links I’ve only heard through word of mouth.) Good Kid is big in the NFT trading market. Apparently there was a scare and a threat of big market decline so he invested into CS as it’s somewhat a more stable market. Nothing confirmed by fact just more speculation.
Probably just someone or rather a group of people buying up the stock and distributing them to accounts. So they have multiple accounts for each worker and they just get the items off real people and them bringing them into one account for some reason. In the end it is probably going to be a profit from having high market share to bump up the prices and resell them. As it's nothing people really care about it's not going to be busted. Laundry is also probable. The multiple accounts are most likely circling the items so that it seems like the last guy actually bought them and the bank transfers match to keep that clean. You can't just buy insane amounts of (physical) steam gift cards and also not by a single person. So they just have multiple accounts they get the money in, buy one skin and then never use the accounts again. The last accounts would be the "insane traders" that just have the skins and if they withdraw everything it is technically not a taxable business. The middleman you talked with is just a regular guy having his own stuff going on.
Lol steam giftcards are incredible inefficient and highly possible to get caught, why bother with that when you can buy skins for crypto on non-official valve sites risk free pretty much?
@@SkritchB You are right. But Steam Giftcards is the OG way. It is inefficient, but well, it works. Didn't know about the Crypto thing. Not that I would have ever laundered money.
It's really interesting to see this as I've been out of the skin game since like 2016 ish. Used to have a 0.1800 awp asiimov that I got from some chinese guy who was clueless even though I didn't do anything that shady and a 0.99978 blackiimov that I got legit, and still have a few low / high float skins but not sure how they are on the leaderboards now. Used to be all on csgo exchange for checking floats and was a paid service but dunno if this float lookup is free now
The account now has even more. They've been stockpiling fn skeleton fades, fn gold arabesques, ww medusas and a bunch of fn howls too. Absolutely crazy. Some of the items are getting traded out of the inventory too though. In this video, the inventory have 159 bayonet fades. Now its down to 87. I wonder where the rest are going Edit: I've tracked down where some of the items are going. After leaving goodkid's inventory, they seem to be spreading out into a bunch of weird inventories, each having around 2 pages each of high-teir skins which amount to approximately $5000. These accounts are also stockpiling specific skins. Examples: Guy with a user id 64 of 76561198857838562: -recieved a ak case hardened fn 0.022272 float directly from good kid -has multiple fn navaja fades, fn emerald jormungandrs, fn awp wildfires, and more user id64 of 76561198192123891: -recieved the ak from the previous user, no longer has it -has a bunch of random high teir skins, including a lot of M4A1s printstream, guardians, and awp redlines Im noticing that almost all of these account have no tradable items too - they're all on trade hold - so that concludes ohne's theory that they are being rotated between accounts every 7 days another dodgy inventory- id of 76561199249830830: haven't found any direct ties with good kid however the inventory is recieving items from the same weird accounts as good kid
real talk tho the most amount of skins i feel like someone should have (BESIDES COLLECTORS) is just 1 skin for each gun, maybe 2 knives and 2 gloves, for t and ct side
@@m1- well you cant know for certain unless the new accounts with the items are known so that the transfer method is known. It cant be all cashout though, the prices of the items would have crashed, imagine the market being flooded with over 200x the same knife
I saw on a discord skin server that someone was saying this guy is a crypto initial investor. I know some crypto currencies cant be withdrawn without losing a large percentage so I feel like they are trying to maximize their return on their initial investments in the currency/ies. There are some absolute programming beasts working in the crypto industry so I wouldn't be surprised if those steam accounts are bots made with one purpose to trade items to specific accounts based on trade restrictions, then as soon as they trade the account auto disables.
Not gonna lie, this situation is interesting and I've never seen anything like it before. I'd like to see a full video of someone explaining the whole thing
I can say from experience, this is most likely laundering. Digging will probably end up nowhere, as is the point of money laundering. Strange shit to see using skins to launder but not too strange once you realize that you can launder with a low loss once you finish it all, and with minimum risk
Ps: Thoose acounts can also be bots from gambling sites and owners arange skins on them? Or some1 rich trying to get all the skins he wants and manipulate the market price later?

FYI the guy inv is now 679K... 10 mins ago it was 700K
Why would they go through all of the effort to trade the skins between alt accounts just to deposit them all into one massive and public inventory at the end?
avoid bans maybe
Probably to flex, or it’s a mule that gets paid a fee to hold the end result of the scheme
"I dont wanna investigate and mixing in businesses from other ppl"
ohnePixel: I need to make a UA-cam Video out of this
I have a feeling that the reason they were all in transit for so long was just to keep the skins moving total investment i thnk i dont think its shaddy
Didn't lunar buy a whole bunch of snow leopards back when he bought a lot of stuff? Or was it another kind of gloves?
Black ties
And blood pressure’s
poor (hes rich btw)guy, i remember his history, came from crypto and lost alot of money, i hope he is better now in what comes to cs go investments.
@@alexandreiss0agr276 lmao he crashed and burned and went out like a jerk. It was his own fault. Screw him. But you’re a wonderful person and I hope you fare much better than he.
According to online sources (don’t ask for links I’ve only heard through word of mouth.) Good Kid is big in the NFT trading market. Apparently there was a scare and a threat of big market decline so he invested into CS as it’s somewhat a more stable market. Nothing confirmed by fact just more speculation.
why did the skins go through so many bot accounts then? over multiple months?
nft wasnt a thing when skin started flowing through transit accounts tho
why spread bullshit you make up
He was preparing for cs2 this whole time sold at the top props to him
That gotta be Gabens alt account trying to hike up the prices
easy money laundering and he did it with the right skins too. skins in decent enough demand that will sell (relatively) instantly. good work
Ur mentally slow. It’s a gambling sites or trading sites bots organizing inventory’s
Imagine having an inventory worth of 1 milion in skins and knives even tho you aren’t gonna use 99% of them
100% of them* many high end skin traders don’t even have cs installed
Probably just someone or rather a group of people buying up the stock and distributing them to accounts. So they have multiple accounts for each worker and they just get the items off real people and them bringing them into one account for some reason.
In the end it is probably going to be a profit from having high market share to bump up the prices and resell them. As it's nothing people really care about it's not going to be busted.
Laundry is also probable. The multiple accounts are most likely circling the items so that it seems like the last guy actually bought them and the bank transfers match to keep that clean. You can't just buy insane amounts of (physical) steam gift cards and also not by a single person. So they just have multiple accounts they get the money in, buy one skin and then never use the accounts again. The last accounts would be the "insane traders" that just have the skins and if they withdraw everything it is technically not a taxable business.
The middleman you talked with is just a regular guy having his own stuff going on.
Lol steam giftcards are incredible inefficient and highly possible to get caught, why bother with that when you can buy skins for crypto on non-official valve sites risk free pretty much?
@@SkritchB You are right. But Steam Giftcards is the OG way. It is inefficient, but well, it works.
Didn't know about the Crypto thing.
Not that I would have ever laundered money.
Question.. If he was money laundering why would he register with floatdb? would that not give his actions away?
seems like he wants to be public on purpose now, ohnepixel just advertising for him is what it seems like
🤣 the ending was him cashing out is 1 milly it was on anomaly's video
"2 hitmens costs double" understandable good logic
It's really interesting to see this as I've been out of the skin game since like 2016 ish. Used to have a 0.1800 awp asiimov that I got from some chinese guy who was clueless even though I didn't do anything that shady and a 0.99978 blackiimov that I got legit, and still have a few low / high float skins but not sure how they are on the leaderboards now. Used to be all on csgo exchange for checking floats and was a paid service but dunno if this float lookup is free now
The account now has even more. They've been stockpiling fn skeleton fades, fn gold arabesques, ww medusas and a bunch of fn howls too. Absolutely crazy. Some of the items are getting traded out of the inventory too though. In this video, the inventory have 159 bayonet fades. Now its down to 87. I wonder where the rest are going
Edit: I've tracked down where some of the items are going. After leaving goodkid's inventory, they seem to be spreading out into a bunch of weird inventories, each having around 2 pages each of high-teir skins which amount to approximately $5000. These accounts are also stockpiling specific skins. Examples:
Guy with a user id 64 of 76561198857838562:
-recieved a ak case hardened fn 0.022272 float directly from good kid
-has multiple fn navaja fades, fn emerald jormungandrs, fn awp wildfires, and more
user id64 of 76561198192123891:
-recieved the ak from the previous user, no longer has it
-has a bunch of random high teir skins, including a lot of M4A1s printstream, guardians, and awp redlines
Im noticing that almost all of these account have no tradable items too - they're all on trade hold - so that concludes ohne's theory that they are being rotated between accounts every 7 days
another dodgy inventory- id of 76561199249830830:
haven't found any direct ties with good kid however the inventory is recieving items from the same weird accounts as good kid
interesting, looks like more transit accounts
ohne just exposed him on youtube, time to make some moves!
this guy definitely has to be trying to launder money
Imagine if steam trade locks the account
That would be the funniest thing, I would explode.
At the point of today there are alot of the skins missing what are visible in the video
and some new came into it like Medusa´s etc.
real talk tho the most amount of skins i feel like someone should have (BESIDES COLLECTORS) is just 1 skin for each gun, maybe 2 knives and 2 gloves, for t and ct side
A lot of skins are gone, only $200k still in his inventory.
is it transfer/cashout????
Haha so he either so this video and tries to hide or the guy ohne wrote with is right and this was just another bot transit account
@@m1- well you cant know for certain unless the new accounts with the items are known so that the transfer method is known. It cant be all cashout though, the prices of the items would have crashed, imagine the market being flooded with over 200x the same knife
I saw on a discord skin server that someone was saying this guy is a crypto initial investor. I know some crypto currencies cant be withdrawn without losing a large percentage so I feel like they are trying to maximize their return on their initial investments in the currency/ies. There are some absolute programming beasts working in the crypto industry so I wouldn't be surprised if those steam accounts are bots made with one purpose to trade items to specific accounts based on trade restrictions, then as soon as they trade the account auto disables.
All accounts have 3 characters pointing to it being the same person, crazy discovery.
Could it be one of the trade bots from one of those skin sides ?
I think gaben should start giving away the skins from the banned accounts instead of banning and letting them stay in the inventory :/
Bring back the soviet union and disown land owners while we're at it.
Yeah should be taken and put into the market
Honestly I'd probably do the same thing if my national currency was worth less than monopoly money
the current total value of that accounts inventory is now 1.6 mil wtf is going on its still happening.
Not gonna lie, this situation is interesting and I've never seen anything like it before. I'd like to see a full video of someone explaining the whole thing
Everyone here is a moron, it’s a gambling or trading sites bots trading items around to different accounts.
Get the oxygen tank and dive deeper, this is waaay to interesting
I think if I ask enough times in matches someone probably will gift me a knife they dont use anymore
bro is a certified gambler
I can say from experience, this is most likely laundering. Digging will probably end up nowhere, as is the point of money laundering. Strange shit to see using skins to launder but not too strange once you realize that you can launder with a low loss once you finish it all, and with minimum risk
pov: when you are a parliament member stealing money from your country and didn’t think of a good way to launder money
Ps:
Thoose acounts can also be bots from gambling sites and owners arange skins on them? Or some1 rich trying to get all the skins he wants and manipulate the market price later?
damm one of those skins could pay off my entire college :(
Valve need to take this serious before skin game gets in danger
its not that serious lol
@@problemzbeatsz1515 i mean people been doing major illegal things for ages with it
they dont give a fu** :D
@@problemzbeatsz1515 bro people are buying islands solely to run these gambling websites that inflate skin prices lmao
CAN WE ALL TAKE A MOMENT TO SAY THAT OHNES PC IS A BEAST FOR BEING ABLE TO HANDLE SO MANY TABS LIKE WTF I COULD WIPE MY ASS WITH IT
How shit is your pc if you cant even handle chrome tabs
@@SkritchB just a joke man my pc can handle it lol

@@freerobuxbeta6003 shit joke tbh
I can't even handle a Chrome tab while playing a game
crushing the market
this is actually crazy, this kind of money in csgo skins
Valve needs to make a original offical csgo database and stop the hiding / private setting
for what reason? Makes no sense for them
That's the most retard take I have ever heard I keep everything in friends only I don't want people seeing any of my shit
Hello, sorry to tell you but the acc you were watching is alt account he has another acc with like $4M+ But he made it private cause it wasn't legit, he is getting insane amout of slins every month it's impossible or is it?
Elon Musk?
Tate??
Bill Gates?? who is that dude.
why the fuck would any of those dudes use csgo skins for money
Its none of them its asian mafia
How is arrow looking through his inventory like that at 15:45 on float, I've been trying but can't figure out how 😊
