As a former tax professional there is absolutely no way his tax guy charged him $5000 to file his back taxes he missed. Not even close to that. Maybe $1000 tops. Also if DSP is paying his taxes with a credit card he's a moron. The interest the IRS charged at the time was around 3% while his credit card was probably charging close to 30%. This guy can't do anything right.
I don't know what're more concerning: that he can never remember what type of "tax guy" he uses (a bookkeeper? An accountant? An attorney?); that he didn't know what a rainy day fund was; that he doesn't know the difference between personal and business expenses; that he supposedly uses a random scrap of paper to write it down on; that he uses a *single* scrap of paper for bookkeeping his every expense; or that he managed to get a business degree on this sheer lack of knowledge. 🤦🏻
This was imo the golden era of DSP as a lolcow. The begging, the dying parents, the guilt tripping, the catfish statue emails, the predictable marriage plot twist in the end. And I'd say this and the previous tax begging really ruined his image beyond redemption, this is where he really solidified himself as a shameless e beggar. One amazing bit of lore is how in those 2018 clips he keeps saying "tax lawyer" or "tax attorney". Nowadays he, and detractors, always call it "the tax guy". Late 2018 in a Minecraft stream some random dude kept pressing DSP about his supposed lawyer, questioning what he is exactly hiring, since calling them a lawyer or an attorney doesn't add up. Eventually DSP gave up on the topic and settled on calling it "tax guy", and he's stuck with that ever since. That one random dude in a Minecraft stream created that term that's part of DSP lore forever. Also one video I'd really wish got more attention (but not really related to the marriage, moreso the tax scam) is that around early March DSP in a prestream finally admits that he's not actually going to have to sell the house if he can't pay the back taxes. Turns out it's all good, he just found out that actually he's just going to get fined. Which led to the amazing statement regarding his taxes, and I quote, "it's total bullsh-, you don't have to pay at all!". Just like everyone had been saying since the beginning in October when he was crying on stream about how Kat just moved in man and they're going to lose the house sniff sniff. Nothing since has surpassed the 2018 tax scam 2.0. This was all glorious.
I think it was 2 different malls. Trumbull and milford. They could only hit the zoo once, cuz they probably tried to keep khet. Looking at how he spent his "vacation" with pandalee, it sounds right up his alley.
Six years later and his parents are alive and well.... Imagine that being your honeymoon? Going to fucking Connecticut to visit a shitty zoo and a mall, and have Italian-style food.
I know it's fashionable to say he doesn't give a shit about his parents but I think there's zero hyperbole in it. I genuinely believe he doesn't care if they live or die. And is probably looking forward to whatever money he can squeeze out of their corpses. He plays like they're poor but Dave was professionally employed for most of his life and probably has a decent amount socked away.
Never forget that in the parents are sick stream he goes on to add more pity party about how Kat just moved in with him and they'll lose their house, and then he starts harping on about Tevin restreaming him. That cues up a crap attempt at fake crying. Not his parents dying, not his wife to be, no, Tevin stealing his Susan pennies makes him tear up.
Listening to some of these pre-marriage travel streams instantly raises the question of why he no longer talks about his parents in this manner. Are they doing well? I mean, you'd think that this guy who seems to be so concerned about his parents would at least attempt to visit them on a regular or once a year maybe.
I think he blames the tax guy because Phil doesn't do anything wrong. In reality he probably moved to Washington to evade taxes by stupidly trying to claim he didn't have a business. He hassles people until he gets the answer he wants, even if he has to ask deceptive questions to get an answer he's happy with...no doubt argued with guy about youtube being the business and he's just employed by them. The tax guy would have been sick of the emails and gave him a technically a yes.
Pretty sure he stopped them for a year and stopped calling them fundraisers after that first tax scam in 2017 when Twitch banned him for half a day or something. He never elaborated why, but he stopped talking about fundraisers immediately after. It was probably because he had a bits goal for his taxes and that's a no no on Twitch.
Phil digs himself so deep with his lies that he's forced to do things like our those disclaimers in his "we got married" tweet. It is sad, but he chose that path.
This takes on a whole new low when we now know about his spending on Champions. The level of begging and manipulation Dave was doing at this time while flushing money down the toilet on a mobile game is so gross.
What kinda woman marries a guys she's only hung out with 4 times who says to her "we'll probably never be able to go on a honeymoon?" Sounds absolutely miserable to me with nothing to look forward to.
As an aside, if he'd paid the mortgage on the CT condo instead of using it on sweaty men JPGs, when home prices skyrocketed the past few years, he'd have had a second valuable asset. As it is, his one positive financially is that his condo probably doubled in value the past few years. Of course he's planning to refinance that and blow that money anyway, but just saying.

This is the man who made about two million dollars in 13 years and ended up with a $500k debt bankruptcy. With a business degree.
And fifteen years later he still doesn't know what's a business expense and what's a personal expense.
I don’t know man sounds like he did nothing wrong and everything correct🐷
I don't know what're more concerning:
that he can never remember what type of "tax guy" he uses (a bookkeeper? An accountant? An attorney?);

Yea, & isn't free to get "qualified" for the payment plan? And, at least for 2023 all that was required was $25 to start an IRS payment plan.

"You guys need to give me more money this year to pay the taxes on all the money you gave me last year" might be the most DSP thing I've ever heard. 🤣
"A major problem in life is ranking people"
Also Phil "In my mind I'm BETTER than you".
DSP being unable to comprehend the purpose of weddings explains a lot.
They had a week long all-expenses paid trip to ct. They went to restaurants, shopping and the zoo. I dunno, sounds like a honeymoon to me.
3 days, same mall twice, zoo once. That’s a rough honeymoon….😢
I think it was 2 different malls. Trumbull and milford. They could only hit the zoo once, cuz they probably tried to keep khet. Looking at how he spent his "vacation" with pandalee, it sounds right up his alley.
If you pay your taxes on time, you should know how much you have to pay. Tax brackets are publicly available
Funny foreshadowing 3:04:43 DSP excited to get Katherine food.
romance fat
Six years later and his parents are alive and well....
Imagine that being your honeymoon? Going to fucking Connecticut to visit a shitty zoo and a mall, and have Italian-style food.
Phail having a degree in finance is the funniest piece of lore
That wedding photo looks like Kat standing with her dad before she marries a legit decent man.

I love how Phil doesn't have a problem with elitist treatment, he has a problem that HE doesn't get it
Listening to some of these pre-marriage travel streams instantly raises the question of why he no longer talks about his parents in this manner. Are they doing well?

Cant wait to get off and toss on my TBS sweatshirt 😂
getting/tossing off are masturbation- style puns.

Man the taxes scam into parents dying scam into wedding scam was something else😂
Fundraisers and marathons have kinda dead and its all morphed into one long continuous Fundraiser
Pretty sure he stopped them for a year and stopped calling them fundraisers after that first tax scam in 2017 when Twitch banned him for half a day or something.

A smart person would sell their property before moving so y didn't he just sell the condo before moving to Washington
Love the new corner demon additions!
2:58:53 Dood is beset by a whole squad of corner demons!
1:14:07 - With the placement of his hands, where he is looking, and the expression on his face, he looks like he is "busting" again.
Lion King was an original story --- DSP, college graduate who never read Hamlet.
what in the fuck was the connected double thumbs up
"I've been to 2 marriages" - This smooth brain knows they are called weddings, right?
1:26:55 - I wonder, what one of his shirts would have cost in Argentina at the time?
Phil digs himself so deep with his lies that he's forced to do things like our those disclaimers in his "we got married" tweet.
It is sad, but he chose that path.
Big ups to corner demons
"Right? Right. I agree!"
I forgot how much Liquid Richard slaps. About to listen to his music again.
It time huge scam at: 7:20.
Pig ups, señor Rambo Bambo McGee.
Why wasn't he saving back 30 percent for taxes d00d? Bugged tax mechanics!
I wouldnt put it past phil that he went and got married just so his mom would give him that 5k for his taxes,... he really is that big of a pos...
Romance Katherine 👩🦰
No, not anymore
1:12:32 - You can see a bald spot in the mirror.
Health-E
how can these 2 have a happy marriage when they only see each other 1 x a week they cant they r more like roommates then a married couple
im pretty sure phils tax guy is a grade a crook
Phil needs so much “positivity”.
The corner demon makes me corner creamin'.
phil u r running a scam in everyway
This takes on a whole new low when we now know about his spending on Champions. The level of begging and manipulation Dave was doing at this time while flushing money down the toilet on a mobile game is so gross.
It's still gross now.
In everyone in Phil's stories sound like alternate reality versions of Phil.
I laughed out loud along with you when he said he lived within his means 😂😂
I don't believe Khet.
What kinda woman marries a guys she's only hung out with 4 times who says to her "we'll probably never be able to go on a honeymoon?"
Sounds absolutely miserable to me with nothing to look forward to.
A woman who needs a roof and a warm meal
The people invahlved

As it is, his one positive financially is that his condo probably doubled in value the past few years. Of course he's planning to refinance that and blow that money anyway, but just saying.
I think about the fact that he could have cleared some of his debt with the CT condo a lot. It really gets overlooked when discussing everything else.
