idk if its right place to put it but incident is so enraging I tl'd it.

Mong got framed by an article on 3/12/2023.

Very malicious article where they deliberately misled people with the title & sourcing the picture as "From YouTuber Caracula" despite editing in Mong's face into it, hoping to draw in clicks using Mong's face while also implying legitimacy

Not only that, the actual criminal's face was already known, but they chose to use Mong's picture instead to get views instead.

Trash journalism. They knew very well what they were doing putting half truths in article like "streamer revealed" and fact Mong is a streamer as well.

They let the article stay as it is for 4 days before editing in "The person in picture isn't associated with incident". It's been taken down since then.

The fact they said "Hey, our company is going through a rough time" just makes it clear there was no other motive besides economic to put his face there. Disgusting.

Mong says he is suing in the video. They offered to settle for $1500, but were talking like it's not a big deal so he refused on principle.

It's kinda an attempt to scam the readers, at the cost of Mong. Maybe scam isn't exactly the right word, but it is spreading lies for money...

TF offering to settle for $1500 is basically an insult in itself.
