He doesn't do either of those things, or hasn't in the vlogs I've watched over past 4-5 months.

Lol the look of fear on his face. I don't understand why he didn't edit that part out though.
Don't get me wrong, I like the guy. I've worked and socialized with him (as we collaborated on videos and appeared as VIPs at the same events) when I was a YouTuber. But he clearly fucked up big time on this one. Even gambling on a site you we're involved in starting is illegal, thats gambling with your own cash against your own cash - gambling doesn't work like that.

Livestream so I guess, youarealreadydead.jpg
Just stop, the evidence is overwhelming and you're not making things better for yourself.
Wasn't he recently in a scandal where he didn't pay a graphic designer for work and then mocked him with Keemstar?
Guy seems pretty scummy tbh. Just because you like someone's youtube videos doesn't mean you have to valiantly defend them.

Haha yeah the look on his face as he realizes he's still logged in as a bot says it all. He knew he fucked up and he still tried to play it off. So slimy.
None of that has anything to do with him ripping off people he doesn't know, which a lot of evidence is pointing towards him having intentionally done. No need to defend him, especially when the money he's spending on cars for his family comes in part from children he's inticed into gambling.

Flashy or not he was not forthcoming about his ownership in a site that he promoted. He specifically said he "found" the site and was logged in as one the bots once. Who knows what else he was actually doing.
It's shady as hell.

Really?
Check my IP I am UK based, the only thing we have in common is his last name is my first name.

Oh don't you worry, the mock tsunami is coming for your hot take on how fraud doesn't matter because your fave loves puppies and cancer patients, or summat
Like this is literally the dumbest defense you can provide, and I don't say that lightly.
Regardless of the bets being rigged I think you can definitely say he intentionally scammed people by gambling at his own casino and making promotional videos without revealing that he owned it.
That's scummy as fuck and I think you need to try and separate this persons public persona from their actual actions.

Probably because it was a stream and not his video?? lol
srsly, can we ban people, that post stuff like this?
and yeah.. I just though WOOW to myself.
I ecspected them to being payed buy those sides, but owning them??
fuck them!
Well that sounds like it would outrageously illegal
I thought this was a re-upload of one of his YT videos that he took down. I didn't think tmartn streamed. I could be wrong though.
A video showing his brand new GTR?

Anyway I guess that's irrelevant to what's happening here, and I appreciate that many people don't think there's anything wrong with youtubers showing their big mansions, or fancy cars.
But I don't really like those types of videos, no matter how genuine, and thankful the youtuber tries to come across as, it still seems flashy.

Kind of worthless point for me to make, but his GTR wasn't brand new, it was used.
Don't worry about the sound of it, it definitely is illegal.
What a saint.
Ah ok, I'm not familiar with him.
Which is odd as he has nearly 10 millions subscribers, and there are many youtubers out there that I've not really watched but have heard of due to how big they are, yet I had never heard of ProSyndicate until now.
Yeah my mistake, I worded it incorrectly. But still there are Fifa youtubers that show their used (but new to them) lamborghinis but I still think it's flashy and sometimes tasteless to post it.
But everyone's different.

Ah well, if its used then we have no problem.
Point is, its illegal, and they clearly known what they are getting into, its done. Now they are just doing damage control.

I see Tmartn has disable comments on his latest video.
Lol.
Edit: All his videos have comments disabled. h3h3
I wasn't saying it was alright then, just correcting for the facts that's all.

micro transactions are worse than reg gambling. People get addicted to spending regardless of winning real currency. The real gambling here is that the money they win is only a remainder that can be applied towards buying in the game company's wallet. This is like a separate bank account where real spending and gambling takes place.
But MT's aren't illegal. sure in some cases they can be very over the top, but they aren't illegal. IF someone wants to spend money on crates in Overwatch there is nothing inherently wrong with that.
What these guys are doing isn't only shady, unethical etc... it's also highly illegal.

I guess it could be, but the whole vid looks like it's being streamed live. What fun would it be to watch something like that if it wasn't live in the first place?

So for all the chants of illegal who actually has to get involved and how? A consumer complaint?
I mean it's one thing to say it's illegal, and then they cover their tracks and nothing happens.

Although I think there should be.
While many would argue that crates in overwatch don't affect gameplay at all and can be ignored, I just wish you paid your $60 for a game on a console and that was that.
Unfortunately micro transactions, buying in game currency etc are NEVER going away, not when you look at the effect they have in things like FIFA and GTA with fifa packs, and Shark cash.
What we have no with psuedo gambling is just an evolution of micro transactions, and it seems to be getting worse and worse....

I hope both of them get what's coming to them.
Super slimey and scummy to mislead your fans like that with such a big audience. Most of which being a younger demographic.
As if they didn't make a ton of money already, they went and pulled this?

Sweet, he learned a lesson, guess everyone can forgive him now.
/S
fucking lol, does he think this will make it better?
All is forgiven, poor guy learned his lesson!

The worst part is this is all it'll take to absolve him from guilt in the eyes of his fans. Before long, all of this will just go away. After all, it's just silly youtube drama.
Seriously, you gain nothing from defending this behaviour.

That is all you need to do/say these days online. Just look at how EA, Ubisoft and others do it. Say you've learned and it's all good now, wait a year, then start the fuckery machine again.
Except these two have seemingly broke the law rather than just been shady fucks.
I don't think this is helping.
Does he think this is helping?
This just seems like saying "Yeah, I did it".
