If it's the guy who played WoW before, it would make sense. He was basically a giant prick there too. Probably not the same guy though.

This made you smile? Did you read anymore than the title and a few lines? www.diablowned.comWhen I read this kinda stuff, amusement ain't the first thing that comes to my mind. He probably didn't care too terribly much about it, as he had already collected more than enough money to achieve his goal.
Yes, it does make me smile. Being so incredibly stupid to make such a mistake. How can anyone with a decent level of intelligence be so fucking dumb. I have never heard of this guy before, nor would I have cared about him. Of course, it's a scam and everybody who donated to him should feel rightfully upset. But still, his face must have caved in after this incident.
One a side note though, as clearly as this a fucking scammer, as much anyone should be aware of the fact, that the media bombards you with lies each and every day. Just looking innocent, in need and helpless doesn't count for shit. It doesn't hurt to not believe every fool who looks sad, just because he looks sad and throws around a few buzz phrases. At least the people having gotten in contact with this dude will in the future be more cautious and it won't hurt them to do so.
But he should have to be held responsible for this scam, no? I mean this is a case of actual fraud, is it not? Or can it be dismissed as putting on a show, no matter what he pretended to be/have etc. and not be charged with it?

It sounds a little harsh, but tbh I also do not really understand why having a disability means that people need donations? It sounds like a perfectly reasonable question tbh. Donations is not something one takes for granted, donations is something very kind of those donators, it's only natural to at least ask why before you even consider making a donation.

You are thinking of Zilea, that moron that made some money off of wow and used that as the basis for his bm.

LOL That's hilarious. The gf's reaction/all the half-assed coverup bs made it all the better. I remember watching his stream every now and then back when I was still playing D3. I tried asking him on quite a few different occasions how he'd come to be paralyzed, but he would never respond. Guy got what he deserves. Though it was bound to happen imo. Everyone fucks up occasionally, and streaming almost every day of the week for 2 years there's a decent chance you're going to slip up at some point, and all it took for him was once. I feel bad for the people who donated to him though, hopefully they get some kind of recompense.

I agree... the gif makes me laugh. Sucks for the people who gave money though.

That's too bad. I didn't donate but this guy gives real charities a bad name and while scamming by itself is horrible, scamming with the guise of charity is worse.

I really hope that something more can be done to this guy. The gaming community has done a lot of awesome things for a lot of people and I'd hate for that to stop due to increased skepticism and exploitation.

if someone bothers to notify prosecution he's looking at a prison sentence and so does his girlfriend given there is enough evidence that he provoked most of the donations due to his alleged disability at least
and the victims of the scam can easily sue him for their donations.. though i doubt there is enough money lying around on his account.. so might take a while to get it all back

Never trust people on the internet I feel bad for all the people donating! And big applaus for Twitch

Is there a link of his GF attempting to cover for him? Would love to hear what she has to say.

I just wish I was enough of a sociopath to also make some sweet cash.

i hope he didntdid piss of the wrong person where he might end up in a wheelchair for real... very sympathetic gaming mafia boss...lol

xD Their excuse was that he pushed off from his chair and fell. You can clearly see that he doesn't even have his hand on the chair and his body motion was supported by his legs and move continually up instead of the burst you'd see if he'd pushed off xD.

One Youtube comment (reliable source lol) claims that he's now facing jail time for fraud, but that's not possible, is it? From my understanding, any legal recourse would need to be a civil suit since the money was donated.
