Investigating Mr Beast's Shady Crypto Deals (EARLY ACCESS)

Recently Mr Beast was accused of making $23 million with shady crypto deals. I knew I had to investigate.

Investigating Mr Beast's Shady Crypto Deals (EARLY ACCESS)

Comments

Can you investigate shein and temu it’s shopping apps where they offer games where a person can have 100+ people to join the link and give you rewards “200$” etc but instead it just blocks your games and people gets addicted to it which they also lose money by paying people to join their links

Good Vibes

Have you seen his smile?

@Coffeezilla — Have you looked into using Vimeo (for storing private/unlisted videos)? I’m not sure how (or if) that would effect your YouTube channel (due to Vimeo being a competitor of YouTube). I hardly ever hear of Vimeo having private/unlisted links leaked. I personally use it (because I can’t have some videos leaked & YouTube failed every time… Vimeo haven’t had a private/unlisted video leaked yet so far 🤷‍♀️)

Hi Coffee, Big fan. I have a particular case from Nigeria. It involves GNLD (NeoLife) a "Multi-Level Marketing Scheme", Fiverr (the freelance platform) and also a group called FHG. GNLD is a company that is making $170M every year. I suspect it is a Pyramid Scheme after doing research of my own. I would be very happy if you took up this case. I believe many Nigerians are not talented enough to recognise this scam and many lives would change if this was out.

Great! Good work! Update: My experience is that there are two schools, when it comes to not-American names. Some prefer their actual name, and others americanize it. As is anybody's right. Few languages using latin letters have fewer than English, so IMO a lot of nuance is lost, when Søndergård becomes Sondergard.

He posted in his article on substack, a partnership with Williams for a commissioned 1/1 Fewocious NFT. https://pomp.substack.com/p/the-next-big-bet-digital-art He also posted on X about it. Attempting to sell it and he wasn't even aware that there was already million $ NFT sales - which makes his post more humorous. https://x.com/APompliano/status/1364378939544715270?t=hou2anP_zSeh1PBai1INpQ&s=19 There's also a lot of X posts exchanges around the cordinated cryptopunks group call between Williams, Pompliano and MrBeast as well as Gary Vee. (February 18-21st, 2021).

https://youtu.be/x2aXO06CVpA?si=mhrFcLoXPJnXHra6 I tried to update the list! Idk why it didn’t show up.

Coffeezilla

I asked him how to say it, I think he gave me the American version.

Coffeezilla

What evidence do you have that Anthony Pomp was involved? This is interesting to me.

Coffeezilla

Hi, great video, WuTangClan was also used by Anthony Pompliano and Jason in 2020, and early 2021. They also dumped a lot of NFT projects that Gary V and his market makers would pump. I believe a video is necessary to expose Gary Vee, the ring leader of this group, he defrauded investors for $200M with VeeFriends, Book Games and VeeFriends 2.

Mario Longtin

2:50 Are you 100 % his name is pronounced “Vanderlook”? “Van der” is a common name part in Belgium, where he's from, and is pronounced “fon der”. It is not a part of any of the names. Supporting this is the fact, that he sometimes use “Kasper Loock”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_(Dutch) Also; double O is only a U-sound in English. In this case, I think it's meant to elongate the oh-sound.

Rasmus

I think people who cry about all the good they do generally are "atoning" for something. I always felt a bit more conflicted about mr beast though because he was supposedly crying about it to get more views to give more

James Linderman

The fact the subscription is the same as giving Coffeezilla two coffees a month persuaded me to be his patreon

Bethany Saliba

Great video! And Thanks for updating the font at the end.

Domenic Alvaro

Thanks for switching up the font at the end! it was almost impossible to read last time. Though i still cant find my name :[

James Linderman

Lol where’s the two astronauts meme when you need it.

V L

Oop time to keep coffee in my prayers fr fr.

V L

Always was

Brandon

One day I'll find my name in the list...I see the font got updated! Any chance we got could the ending credits song? It's a vibe.

Jordan G

It doesn't, I think they just made a clever name to be "doge" because Elon was a fan of the doge crypto. I believe it is simply word play and the name is basically just a joke really.

MIKΞL

Good job again, he is shady, it is obvious if we look at the choice of friends... we can debate his choices all day, but we just need to look at the people he chooses to spend his time with. It si obvious!

Cosmin Stamate

I just don't know what to think any more :-(. It like any youtuber who has reportedly done charitable work is subconsciously "atoning" for something.

shyguy96

@cz sad :( it was to be expected unfortunately, it was nice being able to add them to my watchlater, oh well

N B

Great video coffee, as always. I think my biggest takeaway from this ( and from all of the recent allegations against him) is that he's just another phoney youtuber disguising his shady businesses with philanthropy.

Nihal Salim

Android TV on a MBP, I do have a Samsung TV that I can do this with, but I’d rather just complain about the apps in ability to do this

Jeremy Desaulniers

If your TV supports Miracast and you have a Win 11 desktop, you should be able to cast to a tv on the same network. Apple has something similar I believe.

Ricardo de Leon

Is crypto just a new means to extract money from young gullible fans of this new breed of internet creep.

Chris

Its as my favorite saying always says, you can't become a billionaire, without doing some shady shit.

Connor Younggren

I think his involvement in the Gary Vee call, plus all the other circumstancial evidence in his tweets and selling activity, supports the hypothesis that he was fully aware of his fund's activity. Of course, as Coffee says in the video, there's no hard and fast proof of that, but as far as my gut feeling, it really seems like it.

Zakee Khattak

At best when this goes public, it will bring awareness to mrbeasts involvement in this crypto stuff And then there might be some more evidence overtime to add into this story

Tpenny68

"Do you think organizing 30 million/billionaires to buy in before retail is what created the market?" "No no no, we can only do so much with our millions and billions of dollars. It was only when we got retail traders to buy in that we made money."

Shayla

I get that, thats why I put the blame on Patreon lol

Jeremy Desaulniers

I have in the past uploaded unlisted YouTube links but they have been getting leaked. ☹️ So Patreon video player is what we’re stuck with.

Coffeezilla

I like this early access a lot more than teasers about news videos. I wanted to support coffee by getting the patreon but I also don't want to be spoiled the full investigation until it's out like on youtube so this early access is really great!

alphacino

man I wish I could watch this on the TV.... patreon needs to up there game

Jeremy Desaulniers

Great video and I’m glad you didn’t shy from digging into MrBeast. There is a lot of content and accusations that he made his own lotteries when selling merchandise and “placing” money or iPhones in select packaging that he sold to fans to sell more merch that I think is just as damning. Jimmy is a bad guy and has fully embraced he’s trying to just make money by partnering with people like Logan and KSI and this crypto insider trading is another example he’s a shitty person.

Jimmy Huh

For all those saying that he’s being soft on Mr Beast, he kinda has to be because he doesn’t have as much solid evidence than he normally does. No insider sources. No leaked texts. Mr Beast is smart for not replying. This leads Coffee to have just coincidental circumstantial evidence. I’m sure the timing is very much sketch and isn’t a coincidence at all but it isn’t as solid evidence wise as his other investigations. Still great video and solid journalism done though to bring awareness to Mr Beast’s shady side of business.

Calvin

Is the sound and video off sync? Tried to get it to sync up a couple of times now.

Tally

Hey Coffee, nice video. I find you a bit too "sympathetic" towards Mr Beast, citing lots of coincidences that are too big to be coincidences themselves, especially with Jimmy's behavior on Logan's podcast. Nonetheless, good video.

PizzaPasNette

Coffee can you investigate doge and what that has to do with govt office ? (Musk)

Angel Barranco

ive never been more excited for a video

James Linderman

It's got to be all coincidental, right? Mr.Beast can't be this far in the whole and also dealing with the many, many, many other allegations, right? Like, he has a crisis management team cause that's a normal billionaire thing, right? Yeah, it's just coincidental and not his fault. He is just a young, dumb, ignorant YouTube creator that didn't know any better. No matter how many times he said he was cognizant of his actions. In the end, it was just his proxies that did all the buying and selling. Anyways, 👍🏻 on this investigation.

Letcha B

I was wondering if/when you'd tackle this after SomeOrdinaryGamers released a video on the subject.

Elisa M.R.

Very disappointed. Can't everyone tell the same, my team did it and just pasted my brand.

ashpatrein

Yeah, I'm not sure how "somebody else makes the trades" helps Jimmy. Even if they were not talking to each other at all, they're aware of what each other is doing, and the sequence of events is pretty obvious. Assets are bought at a low price, promoted publicly by Jimmy, and then sold at a much higher price, exploiting Jimmy's fans who bought these assets based on his promotion. No active coordination is needed for this, everybody involved knows how this works and what they're supposed to do.

LKM

Is it just me or are you using a softer tone just because is Jimmy? If anyone would have done this you would be harsher on them and for good reason. Jimmy made millions from this and there's no way he didn't know that his guy just made $20 Ms using his image. Thanks for the investigation, your work is great!

Ovidiu

people speculating and throwing mr beast under bus isn't fair. If he's directly involved fair enough expose it but to lump other allegations into a half truth sandwich it's unfair to both victims and mr beast

patrysa

oh sick, no more early leaking

Ed Leszczynski

Watched other videos on the subject, you are the first to mention he had a person managing his crypto investments, I appreciate the effort. I know with all that’s going on it’s risky to use the S word, but I think when you buy a token during presale and then you sell early it is unethical behaviour. Having a guy click on the buy/sell button for you is like hiring a hitman, you’re still guilty if you chose the target. When you are Mr Beast, sub-tweeting about a token is a stronger endorsement than tweeting about it, it gives the impression that it is just a casual « expression » and not an advertisement for the token. It’s like when you see Nancy Pelosy buy Nvidia, of course you would do the same, she has insider level information.

Hamza H

Everything else that Mr Beast has been shown to be scamming with lately. Coffe doesn’t only cover crypto, he covers poor work environments and general shady money practices too.

GARD Productions

Seeing this pop up on my feed right after watching Pansino's video on his illegal gambling really connected some dots for me. Great work as always Coffee!

Jordan Bonner

So glad I became a Patreon member worth every penny

Chris

Well done mate, I don’t feel like there’s many people speaking truth to power anymore.

Chris

It's funny how any time Mr. Beast's company has a controversy, Jimmy knows absolutely nothing about it. It was some other team member or another party they outsourced the planning to. At what point does Jimmy start actually running his company.

Alexandar04

I got mine as well

Andrew Hooper

People always become who they hang around with, hand around with 5 drunks, you’ll become the 6th drunk. Looking at his circle of friends clearly indicates an answer to these questions 🧐

Gary Woodhead

Good to see you go after someone you looked up to. Can’t be easy.

Angel Barranco

Hey I got mine like late september iirc and I'm from Italy!

Sandro Limaj

Seems Jimmy has become disillusioned with philanthropy. After the reaction to his curing blindness stint, he had the option to become better at charity work or to turn away from it all together. Disappointingly it looks like he chose the second.

Holly Smith

Bruh its his fund/team obviously he knows whats going on lol. All jimmy cares about is cold hard cash.

MewintheDark

You say it’s likely people will have one of two feelings about this video based on whether or not they’re fans of Mr Beast or hate him… I’ve been largely indifferent (honestly didn’t even know who he was until this year lmao) and it doesn’t come across with him in a good light 😬 If anything, it sounds like you’re being very generous with your excuses and leeway offered…

Naomi Hirasaki

given the general content of coffeezilla’s channel, what else were you expecting?

Naomi Hirasaki

How does his coffee stay so hot and steamy? Must have a heated desk.

Ross Vincent

Finally, a Mr Beast vid and it’s about the crypto stuff…I was hoping for anything else as crypto is one I’m least interested in.

GARD Productions

🔥🔥🔥

Alexander Demers

Once again, impressive work Coffee! Looking forward to future reactions from the people involved, and to this being picked up by regulatory enforcement.

Miguel Calleja

oh hold up let me get settled in for this one

Naomi Hirasaki

Man oh man I had to put my wings down for this

KnockKnockitstheKGB

I think this is good, because sometimes doing real investigations there won't be a smoking gun, just tons of circumstances pointing a direction and in real life the answer won't always be cut and dried. Though I definitely have opinions

Julia Burns

I got mine at this point, so definitely worth reaching out. 🙂

Steffen Spear

I personally don't see anyway he couldn't have known what the allegations were/what he was doing if he openly talks about it with Logan. Hoping they end up just sinking each other with this knowledge

Nightly Drifter

Let's gooooo

Joshua McGukin

I don't think coffee was biased despite who his business partners are. Which is good journalism shouldn't have biased opinions just state the facts.

TunkJib75

Coffee I salute to you for daring to investigate Mr. Beast. But we have to agree that a person’s fund and the person itself have no relationship is completely ridiculous. You would at least have a report often at that kind of calibre. I agree there is always scapegoats and excuses thats why billionaires are still billionaires…

Sharky Boi

Great video! Love your journalism, you're doing amazing work :)

Fan38264

Weird , when I watch the video here my phone is vibrating. Super weird lol

Geass

Yes!!! all Tshirts (or at least 99% should be delivered). Can you PM the support email, and if you don’t get a response, send me a message and I’ll escalate it.

Coffeezilla

Were the t-shirts ever sent out? I ordered two and never got any updates...

Goose

Well boys, we knew this was coming
