Over the next 2 weeks we will be unveiling our 3 part series, early on Patreon of course.

Part 1 (this video) - The origin story of this investigation. A bribe. Protests at Royal Arena. Monarch, a mysterious figure that has everyone scared.

Part 2 - Massive expose into Counter Strike Gambling. How it works, the influencers, casinos and esports teams who make it possible. A grim look at the numbers, past, present and future of this gambling epidemic for underage players

Part 3 - Unraveling the people who could actually make change in this epidemic.  Following the money of who stands to profit the most from CS2 Gambling.

This series has been an absolute massive labor of love and effort and I appreciate all the support from you who make it possible.

Great first part of a very interesting case. Keep up the good work and have a great end of the year as well.

PizzaPasNette

You should concider looking into the cs youtuber Sparkles' crypto wallet transactions. In a seemingly deleted video, about him getting scammed, he linked the transaction in the description. I'm sure you know how to find it better than me, but he is making automated transactions many times a minute, 24/7/365. Maybe it's normal but it looks weird.

Jonas Milsted

New patreon follower here and this is exactly the type of investigation that made me join. Truly, you are a legend Sir!

Justin Pierce

I hate this phatphuck since CS Source, I got the "Year of service" badge only because of "You wanna play CS, do what I say". Since then, I don't like this chubby mofo.

Denis Mercure

He's convinced he's the Good Guy and his competitor is Evil.

DOM Pekka

You should put up your videos on Spotify. The now have support for pateron

Jens Hedfors

Be safe coffee.

LucidsAdventure

John Schudar

It sure looks like him.

18:36 is that Patrik Antonius? One of like the top 5 most famous poker pros in the world?

uya

the sfx and acting get better every vid ! great work on the atmosphere, and ofc on the investigation so far as usual ! i'm curious, is there another tier to get your name in the credits ? i've scanned for a while and i can't see mine lol

MARLOW

Greed, stupid greed, and power games? Why do they do it? I've always wondered if people put the effort into building good things vs. terrible things :)

Yourfriends AndMe

:) sure it is worth it.

Yourfriends AndMe

Given how often we hear Monarch use the word cult, that cult leader vibe is likely a feature and not a bug.

Elisa M.R.

terminally online millionaires terrified of each other, with 24/7 personal security detail sponsored by video game skin casinos. thank you for this feast!

Tim Hyde

Haha the betterhelp diss sent me rolling

cadentipton

Pretty sure you are already aware, but this monarch guy just recently won almost 5 million dollars from few poker tournaments in triton poker series.

William Smith

So you good?

People of jakertown

It's funny how if they hadn't reached out, they probably wouldn't have gotten investigated, at least so soon

LukeTheKing27

monarch reacted to this stream and made veiled threats to Arrow. He pretended he didn't know him, and said he wanted to beat the sh!t outta him.

lakersbaby

this investigation had such a great hook. tried to bribe you, got investigated instead, because of the insultingly low bribe :)

Eric August

I love it!

anthony goguen

When you're offering people money to harass and threaten others, someone stupid or desperate might think that going further = more money paid. So, even though he says he doesn't have any intentions that anyone be killed, he's creating and funding the conditions for it to happen. Just look at his right hand man offering you a bounty to do a hit piece, he says he didn't know that he had done that. It's a perfect example of someone going further than he was aware of on his behalf. He doesn't have full control in the guerrilla tactics he's employing, and he needs to get a reality check that guerilla tactics get people killed. *source-- grew up in a trap house with a kingpin step dad who nearly got me shot at age 12.

Shoo

Man I haven't played counterstrike in forever. Didn't even know it was still a thing

Daffy

This is a crazy story overall https://internettalk.substack.com/p/cults-vendettas-gambling-how-a-ten?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web Also for anyone interested, in that steam link "pureofrune" is sticky hand. The linked article explains that maybe he didnt lose his house after all.

James Linderman

Oh man, this just isn't a coffeezilla video, this is a coffeezilla /investigation/. I'm so hyped

Asif Ali

The guy started his trolling career very early: https://steamcommunity.com/groups/cultofjofa/discussions/0/3810659955909456985/

Nmk

The prod is better than ever in this one. I got taken away by the dialogues, the music and the visuals. A kind of perfection has been reached here.

Paul Cousin

Amazing detail from Ed! Such an interesting story - looking forward to hearing the rest!

Sadie Pittman

This show is funded by a monthly $5 bribe...... I mean membership

Mario Stoilov

That was an unexpected level of weird intensity.

Aaron Hardy

My favorite episode so far! I've been playing CSGO for 10 years

Blu3Diamond

Best 5 bucks I ever spent

Sergio Sandoval

Didn't take very long to find this one, though. 😂 https://x.com/PauliusSab/status/1868886226608238763

asbo

You can try something like xcancel.com or just go make a throwaway.

asbo

Really hope he doesnt talk to moe in this series. That dude is such a waste of time

prod_tfm

Weirdly enough I decided to rock my "waiting for refunds" shirt today. I could sense the scandal in the air

FurBz GriNd

Ohhhh! Here for this content! Take my money please!

Fernanda Alario

Probably all of part 3

StreetsAhead

The "mult-tasking" bit with one of his eyes still looking down at the game was pretty good. The actual investigation was ace as well and the presentation sold it. Worth every penny.

Bob

Can someone with a twitter account tell me what the comments and retweets are saying?

Holly Smith

i'm so fucking happy for this series, cs gambling needs to be finally adressed, i despise it

kiss shot

The CSGO gambling scene has always been hella sketch, but this is real insanity.

Zakee Khattak

FYI monarch has gone on a twitter rampage about this video "When I joined the interview, I already anticipated that he would try to present me in a particularly bad light and paint me as the villain. And well, that’s exactly what he did." link: https://twitter.com/CSGOEmpireV2/status/1868820652272042334

Brianna Pham

The look in his eyes is just empty. Hollow even. Like he doesnt really respond like we'd expect.

James Linderman

Just joined to watch this video and Im not disappointed, great work!!

Jon Arbuckle

Money really does corrupt because this stuff is absolutely insane.

Cameron Cookl

Great video. No excuse for the harassment, and Monarch is giving off death cult leader vibes, but I'm still not sure I can on the side of influencers who become millionaires selling gambling to their audience of children. The "next time on" segment seems to imply this series will keep following that issue.

Thomas R.

ROFL 20k

Angel Barranco

This is possibly the most insane video of yours I've ever watched. Good god.

NotSoBadAndy

It's a tale a od as time, someone betrays you & so you want revenge, and when money is involved the stakes become much higher. Just hope you don't get caught in the cross fire but this story sounds juicy & can't wait for the next episode

Humberto Muñoz

Oh boy. I feel watching a kid open that old wardrobe full of stuff and just swarm him. CSGO Competitive scene has been feed by gambling websites for centuries. Its about time someone will shed a light in whos been profiting so bad at the expense of others.

Vinícius

If the topic wasn't under your radar already, they told on themselves .. I'm not sure what train of thought led them to "coffee would totally look ONLY into my competitors"

Ximena Garcia

Holy shit, Coffee. This is fantastic. I've no knowledge of this space but what a great story. I really got the feeling you had to walk on eggshells with The Don. Be careful.

Mike Gervasi

Monarch genuinely scares me. All of Coffee's subjects come off like people you really don't want to get involved with, but he is different somehow. Something subtly shifts in his affect when Coffee brings up the bribe, and whatever it is made me physically flinch away from my phone. This guy is dangerous.

Katizaris Leanisillis

Great. This looks good.

The Last Scientist

This was, as you said, an absolutely wild ride. The amount of rationalization something like this takes is truly staggering. It'd be a hilarious farce if it weren't real life. Can't wait for part 2!

Jazzpha

Incredible. Hit it out the ball park and it’s only part I.

Teej

Damn, brother! This shit is good. Excited for part 2

Letcha B

Wow, that was goosebumps inducing. The only thing I knew prior to this video, about CSGO, was a YouTuber that left when they did some changes to the skin trading system. I can't recall the details, but I do recall the YouTuber was very, very young and after losing that CSGO income, he crashed his vehicles. So my prior knowledge of it was already about scams and tragedy .

Ada MC

Oooh boy. I feel this is going to explode once posted to YT...

Lebon14

Awesome video keep up the good work Coffee, and may I say the 10million dollar studio is looking nicer then ever 👌

Clifford Frojd

Joined patreon to help with the lawsuit. Stayed for this content

Paul Gardner

Fantastic video. That’s a weird 1v1 Cold War they have settled into.

Jasmine Noack

Can’t wait for the next part :)

Hamza H

What a lucky day to have joined your Patreon!

Amanda Crispino

OMG I remembered suggesting this premise on his Q&A post!! This is awesome!!

TVHasGottenBoring

Crazy the amount of money generated thru this!

Carlos Martinez

Interesting can’t wait to see the rest

Nicole

Excited just at seeing the thumbnail.

Ada MC

Maybe you should look at the phatphuck name Gabe Newell?

Denis Mercure

Coffee out here putting work
