EPTBTW I remember there were really really mean comments like he killed their mom on his YT channel on his last farewell video so FlaSh must be shook reading them, he must be sensitive so took into heart so I think that's why he still didn't show up.

I think he shouldn't make a big deal out of it and start streaming - I think it will be better for him and people will eventually forget if not already forgot that scandal.

Let's be completely honest, he's probably set for life money wise from what he got from streaming unless he blew it all. He could probably never work a day or ever stream again and he'll be fine lol Still regardless of if people thought he was a scammer/scamming him nobody should be subject to comments like those. It seems Korean nietzens can be really cruel from what I've heard. | ||

It seems Korean nietzens can be really cruel from what I've heard. Re: Korean netizens, I read an article recently about one of my favorite Korean musicians which basically explained that a lot of them feel like they have the duty to be social police basically, that in turn leads to crazy dramas out of nothing. I can't find the article right now but here is a lengthy Reddit thread that touches on the subject: https://www.reddit.com/r/HobbyDrama/comments/opkats/kpop_tajinyo_how_baseless_academic_fraud_claims/ TLDR: Successful musician's academic background is questioned due to netizen rumors (like, he never went to Stanford/never graduated), it turns into an all-out witch hunt, and because education is so important in Korea, people were sending him and his family death threats, it left him with long-term trauma. Some people went to prison. Pretty fascinating read which might help outsiders (like me) understand Korean netizen backlash/drama culture better. Then again, we have similar haters like JoinTheRain on our very own forums, so perhaps not too far removed from our own online experience. EDIT: Slightly less lengthy article from Stanford's magazine that is more in a narrative/interview style, if you want a more condensed version: https://stanfordmag.org/contents/the-persecution-of-daniel-lee | ||

https://tl.net/forum/brood-war/574711-flashs-crypto-scandal?page=11#213 since then i havent really followed the scandal as public interest also died out, so if there are any new facts that contradict my summary id be interested to hear it, but otherwise i think the contents of that post is still relevant. | ||

As a friend to Flash thats probably worse off and i guess time will tell if he still got any friends. Flash as a product (BW) is still strong if he havent lost it all (skills). If he has viewers on his stream is rather irrelevant unless he feels thats what he needs or he wont stream. He wouldnt know this beforehand so in that sense he needs to start streaming again to know. Most still consider Flash as top tier and that in itself makes him likeable from a competitive standpoint. | ||

If he continued to do that I would watch every single game of it and enjoy it very much. Sadly, I think it was just a one-time stint. | ||

Stuff that's a minor PR speedbump in the states could destroy someone's career in Korea if it picked up momentum. Yeah in America you guys have actual "politicians" with seats in congress spewing flat out 100% debunked lies to the public without any form of consequences, sitting over here in Scandinavia Europe we are scratching our heads wondering how that is even remotely possible to have that kind of behavior without getting removed from politics. USA aka Freedom to lie about anything regardless of what consequences it might have on human lives. User was temp banned for this post. | ||

I think it's 6 months for Bisu. If Flash comes straight back after his military service, people would say that that effectively means he doesn't have to suffer any consequences despite him being the "mastermind" of the scam. It's not a nice picture he wants to paint himself is it? Probably the best time is the next ASL. is this determined by afreeca? they pretty much own everything since they have the power to ban players ie savior. | ||

undisclosed paid advertisement is the outrage here. Korean YouTube also had similar scandal few years prior and this was the next progression/target after it I guess. But here we have advertisement/promotion but undisclosed involvement w/ personal stakes in the said product | ||

Korean YouTube also had similar scandal few years prior and this was the next progression/target after it I guess. We all make mistakes... and will continue to make if we want to be Loving and Learning in our way to God... Or what ever Our Ideal understanding of Life might be. The Key Point for Me is always in 100% Admitting to oneself our own miss-steps as Truthfully as Humanly Possible. This Way... We take the Absolute fastest root into Self-Development. Throwing away Our Ego ToTally... Always... Grants us having the closest Perspective-View of Soul(Heart) and Spirit(God Consciousness) that was built WithIn Us as a Gift... as is Our Life in General... Regardless of Circumstances. But Yes... When It's someone the magnitude of Flash... It's Absolutely Crucial to be as Transparent As... Notice... Godly Possible.  This is what brother ZZZero should be mainly Improving On in the Future. Outside of murdering his whole Ego... Like I have atleast one Time... When I admitted Infront of our whole BSL Community... how I sinned in order to have food on my table... and sold my match vs Dewaltu in the BSL6 ro16.... Now... It was Nearly.... Impossible for anyone to catch Me... and I'm not Even close... to the recognition Flash Has... But the Reason it was Vital for Me to put Myself on a Cross For Everyone to See... Was Way Too Simple... I now not only Knew of countless times Top Korean Pro's have sold matches... But Also started Seeing HOW MUCH BSL MATCHES PEOPLE WERE SELLING...... All in All... We Must All Be EverForgiving... EverLoving... But First... Ever Admitting... Ever TruthFull... Atleast... Fully to Oneself... Else... We get lost in our own self... User was banned for this post. | ||
