The only reason someone would give you that guarantee is if it's a rug pull. The fact that the whole thing was a scam and he lost money is irrelevant. If I pay someone to make a bomb and they take the money but make a fake bomb that doesn't blow up that doesn't absolve me. No, if it were confirmed that would be a crime, and as it stands Flash is a free man. | ||

Without any real work experience it opens you up to being targetted by a lot of weird scams as he's never been in a position where he's had to either worry or learn about how to keep and use his money safely. As a progamer all his winnings I assume went through his parents as everyone elses did and once that period was over he was pretty much rich enough to not need to worry about money. They never really got any form of street smarts as they've been in a relatively exploitative system from a young age and he at least was a mega rich streamer who could basically do nothing and make a ton of money. He's 32 man you can say same about Faker or BoxeR since FlaSh was in similiar status to starcraft as main face but here it is Yes, what koreans are assuming are the worst case scenario and are quite black and white about it, but it's flash's responsibility to handle his PR on moves he makes as the ripples he has impacts the whole scene | ||

Your parasocial relationship with esports players leaves you with no idea if they're "great guys." So you were either trying to go for some sort of edgey comeback or you are delusional in thinking you actually know them and what they're about. So, no, in your case, that isn't what you do. | ||

His fans might've not been that mad if he immediately withdrew whatever money he got in and apologized at the spot, but now he is also letting them know he continued doing it after the scam was out. This is what i understood from the video, i might be mistaking. Very odd, as a fan i would be more mad with him now than i was before this apology. In my case i just want to see him play starcraft again, but he made it very hard with all this nonsense. not quite correct. it was never a pump and dump scheme. it was accused of being one by viewers and fans. Suit kept assuring Flash that it definitely wasnt a pump and dump scheme and promised he could get Flash his money back if flash lent him a bit more money. This way Suit ensured Flash wouldn't expose Suit because he had Flash by the balls. | ||

Although it once again shows he's a coward. Never really faced the fans questions or addressed the core issue. Just played a video and acted as if everything's all good now. But it's a moot point anyway. Bisu Sea and co received a lot of hate when they came back but it's not like when the hate talks reached 70% or something they had to stop streaming lol. As long as there are viewers and donations, and their colleagues accept them back, which of course they do, the show just goes on. Well would you be willing to listen to trolls and people berate you for your actions which have already had deep consequences? Are you hoping for something worst to happen to flash? Do you know that he is acting as if everything is "All Good"? I don't understand how you can call him a coward. A coward is a person who wouldn't even attempt to face the consequences of his actions. He said it himself he has no more intention to pursue the money he lost. He blamed his mom for his action and has now taken ownership of his mistakes. What more detail would you want from him? Do you want him to give all his money away? Do you need a deeper bow? Do you need to see him so hurt that he will never show his face again out of shame. I want you to seriously consider what it is would remedy the pain you felt to be willing to call him a coward. @JinnJinn thank you for the prompt video. You're a true hero to this space in all the translations you provide. | ||

I can think of only 1 individual who is a coward. It ain't flash. Owning up to your mistakes is not cowardly, and neither is taking your time to reflect on the mistake. | ||

On stream he hyped up a coin that turned out to be a scam. Though he was unaware of the scam, the platform he used was for SC streaming. He used it for that and for the coin hype, both. If he had separated the two things, it could be much more reasonably argued that there shouldn't be a controversy about his return to SC streaming, since in that case he couldn't have affected any of his viewers with the coin hype. I hope this makes sense. No one knows if he wanted intentionally scam viewers. I think he was aware about it but talked into by the coin guy to make more money. Most people get more greedy the more money they have. If he wasn’t aware I don’t think he would have disappeared for that long and with such shame in him of it. Lucky for him no viewer bought the coin. We are human and make mistakes we can forgive. Should be lesson for him to not trust everyone. Also flash doesn’t seem like a bad person who wants evil to his viewer. Just a one time mistake. | ||

He knows people would more easily welcome him back if he's #1 | ||
