This Streamer Stole $500,000 From Fans | Asmongold Reacts to Exposé by Coffeezilla 

What's funny is that Asmon can do this video, explain the grift and probably still run the exact same scam on his viewers if he wanted to. And it would work...

I love how Asmond has this pseudo internal struggle not to be a con artist, like he's a supervillain that turned to the good side and is resisting his evil urges.

I stopped watching RU-vid for a while and this was the first time I heard about your mom passing away. Sorry for your loss. Glad to see you smiling and letting her memory live on. She will always be an OG in the WoW community.

The biggest thing with scams is that people who invest their money into them desperately NEED, desperately WANT it not to be a scam, and so they'll dig in further, hold harder in the blind trust that they're faith will be rewarded.

I can't believe people still watch ice poseidon

I think people will sue him, they might not be succesful, but given how fucked some of his viewers are he'll likely end up in a ditch.

I so love how scams are being "reinvented" and people find out about them the 35th time in their life and they STILL ACT SURPRISED! I learned about scams when I was 7 in a MMO god damn it. It is not so hard to smell bullshit!

The people who fell for the scam are probably Ice Poseidon's close fans. Putting it plainly he scammed his fans because I know for sure the people who swatted him didn't play into the scam.

People in comments telling asmon he should scam his viewers, what the fuck.

Ice giving Coffee his wallet is exactly what Leo Dicaprio does on "Catch me if you can" to Tom Hanks. Legendary scene.

Cofeezilla - "This streamer stole money from his viewers and I can proof it" Me thinking that its going to be another 5 head investigation. Streamer to coffeezilla in first minute of video: "Yeah I did it." I can't :D How is this real world?!

He isn't Robin Hood. He's robbin' the hood.

22:14 my dad when i was a kid always teach me to look left and right before crossing a road even if its greenlight for pedestrian to cross. because if a car ran the redlight and hit me even if justice is served and he got into prison or whatever its not gonna instantly heal my broken leg or whatever worse that happened to me

Mannnn I LOVE Coffeezilla, so glad he’s getting some WELL DESERVED exposure!

A lawyer actually reacted to this same exact thing, and it's called fraud. And he can actually be sued.

When Asmon talks about DickCoin, someone in chat said "I'm in too deep" and my day was made.

asmon dropping dad talks, "I don't care about talking around your feelings I care about what's best for you"

He lied about the money being locked down from the start. This was not "good intentions in the beginning", you don't have good intentions if you lie about a backdoor.

"we'd have ten TVs" *begins optimising looting routes in head* "we'd have ten TVs per week"

A french streamer recently livestreamed other people's charity streams on his own channel and people gave HIM money instead of giving to the charity event because of it.

Yo mutahar, also known as some ordinary gamer also released a video, him and zilla worked together on this

It all started with closing doors on people.

The 10k in a wallet comparison is terrible when there's not a name attached to it. There's a severe difference in opportunity from cashing out on a faceless lump of money and cashing out when you know exactly who you can speak to so you can do the right thing. That's part of what makes scams so disgusting to people. Robbery is bad, yes. But you care a hell of a lot more when you think about how the scammer knew what he was doing to PEOPLE. Nobody gives a damn about bank robbers taking a million dollars of insured money, but you're drawing the ire of the world for taking 20 bucks from a child.

Getting mad after you got scammed by Ice Poseidon is like getting mad that you don't own the Brooklyn Bridge after some dude sold it to you in a back alley.

Ice has always been an asshole, who pushed social boundaries for his personal gains. Asmon can probably relate to him, but the interactions Ice had on twitch were always on a level closer to real life, which eventually got him in trouble and banned. No idea who still watched him, but that's what you get for putting your trust in him in the first place. Hope he vanishes completely, since he already left his print on the streaming world, which is nothing but an ugly smudge.

True, Asmon was really positive on the human waste. I hope those scammed get if not justice then revenge. Ice Poseidon seems like a very public individual.

This editor is amazing! Hahaha the music he uses when asmond rambles on makes it seem like he's a character from a disney movie hahahahaha

Asmon is one of the most honest (ex) scam artists I've ever seen.

ice just teaching his fans a lesson about crypto. what a lad

The saying: "A fool and their money will soon part" is a saying for a reason. I'm not victim blaming but we are in the situation we are as a country because people allow social media to make incredibly important decisions for them.

You know what, the part where Asmon says it’s about knowing what goes on in the mind of someone who does this, that resonated with me. I’ve always wondered why I’m so interested in videos of crazy people doing crazy/horrific things. That’s a huge part of it: we can PREDICT that kind of behavior later. That’s a solid point

@1:21:00 that’s exactly why I enjoy your content brofessor… you “keep it real”. True to who you are at all times allowing me to trust you in what you say and prove. You allow us to “know you” by being consistent. Thanks brotatochip

When you realize Asmongold is the real life Lalafell

I liked that rant about accountability. Sadly there were some clowns in chat who instantly missed the overall point and went "well what about sexual crimes etc." I hate twitch chat sometimes

I'm only at 22:26 and I feel so much with you. I used to be that kind of person to say "oh people dont have bad intentions" sadly it all turned around. it may be sad but we really gotta look out for ourselves cause nobody else is going to randomly appear and help you out of your mess.

39:12 it’s like that scene from SpongeBob where they try to convert Manray and he does that interaction with Patrick about the wallet lol

I love the chat acting all superior because it didn't happen to them. It didn't not happen to them because they were too smart, it didn't happen to them because they weren't there. They weren't in that situation where someone they trusted was selling them a scam. Ask anyone who's gotten involved in an MLM scheme how they fell for a scam, they'll tell you that someone they trusted got them in. The very moment you think you're too smart or too savvy to fall for something like this is the moment you will. Scammers love marks who think they're too clever for the scam.

24:34 "dont leave a ps5 in a car, its literally that easy" someone break'in it down too simple XD

"Believe me, believe me!" "It's your fault for believing in me when you shouldn't have." That's Ice's logic. It's ridiculous. It's like if the Boy Who Cried Wolf turned around and blamed the townsfolks' anger on them- *oh wait.*

I remember the old days (25 years ago), when some rando decided he was going to scam me and my boys for a 1/2 O of kush. Word got around and 2 days later that same kid had a bashed in face, broken glasses, and a week later moved to a new school. I bet he learned something from that mistake. I miss the old days. Accountability culture shouldn't only apply to those that are scammed.

Asmon actually predicted Ice's tweet lmao. He disabld replies and said that "the facts are distorted"

Lmao i used to think ice was a waste man back when he played runescape. Looks like not alot changed😂😂

"I care about the future" - Gold, Asmon

It's been 18 months and to the best of the internet's knowledge, Mr. Paul Denino aka Ice Poseidon has NOT faced any repercussions whatsoever for his crypto scam.

500k is nothing, that's like 1hr of an asmongold shower stream

Was great to see you give props to coffee, hes great for the space rn.

11 minutes in, dam Asmon... you giving away all of the good ideas lol

peak asmongold. educational, thought provoking, hilarious, simple, honest, amazing. love asmon

The funny thing is if one of these guys who got scammed simply tipped off the IRS Paul's life would come crashing down.

some people will take the loss and continue with their lives. Some people will turn into scammers themselves to get their money back and if successful continue to do so.

that "they could do so much stuff" rant was very reminiscent of water white telling the dude in the store how to do it better

I absolutely love that he showed clips from PKA that has literally been my favorite podcast for years

There's one born every minute, and with today's tech we keep them alive longer than ever before. The Interwebs let us harvest from them repeatedly, as long as we leave them just enough to keep on producing. Farmers call these kinds of crops "cut and come again". The biggest problem is really that most honest (but naive) people don't think like criminals. Experience is a good teacher for most folks. The rest are just "cut and come again" crops for con men and scammers.

"Psychopathy, sometimes considered synonymous with sociopathy, is characterized by persistent antisocial behavior, impaired empathy and remorse, and bold, disinhibited, and egotistical traits." - taken from Wikipedia "Psychopathy is a condition characterized by the absence of empathy and the blunting of other affective states. Callousness, detachment, and a lack of empathy enable psychopaths to be highly manipulative. Nevertheless, psychopathy is among the most difficult disorders to spot. Psychopaths can appear normal, even charming. Underneath, they lack any semblance of conscience. Their antisocial nature inclines them often (but by no means always) to criminality." - taken from Psychology Today

Asmon’s discussion and reaction is like a dlc and expansion to the original video

Hard truths are very important to hear. Great job Asmon.

10-10 advice on responsibility and accountability

what you said about being the best person you can be after your mom's passing is the same i did. i did not tell myself this, i would just notice my change and my mother always came to mind. here's to keeping mother proud.

a few years ago i found some chick's purse at a bus stop, she had forgotten to take it with her when she went on the bus, at least that's what i presume to this day. her phone, her wallet (with money and credit cards in it), her passport, and numerous other personal belongings were still in it. i opened her phone and called her mother, telling her that i found her daughters purse. the mother thanked me and told me she'd get a hold of her daughter and get back to me about retrieving it. the next day the chick calls me, relieved about her stuff being found, thanking me for my honesty, and we set up a meeting later that same day. (here's where the story gets morally interesting); we meet up near where i live. she barely greets me with a "hi" - i kid you not, she didn't even give me a smile! i hand over her purse (with everything including the cash money in it) which she nearly snatches out of my hand in a yoinking motion, as if i had stolen it from her or smth, then says "thanks" and immediately turns around and walks away. at this point i am dumbfounded about the sheer ungratefulness she displayed and i just sort of stand there staring in her general direction as she walks away for about 5-10 seconds. ngl, i expected a bit more gratitude for being a decent human being, but i felt like i got the opposite of that... like i am not saying i deserve a reward, but maybe a proper "thank you" and a minute of smalltalk would have been in order, her attitude IRL and her attitude on the phone was like night and day. i essentially, potentially just saved her from all sorts of trouble... if i had been a savvy criminal i could have committed identity fraud, i could have straight up stolen her identity, i could have taken her money, i could have doxed her online, i could have maxed out her credit cards, i could have sold her phone, i could have harassed her friends and family, i could have sold their phone numbers to telemarketers resulting in years of annoying spam calls, i could have hacked her entire online life using her phone to authenticate i.e online purchases, facebook/email password changes etc. but i didn't.... and this was the thanks i got... unbelievable. needless to say, next time i am doing the opposite of what i did back then, because if people are gonna be so bloody ungrateful about good deeds like this, then they frankly don't deserve to get their stuff back.

Man i love all these content creators reacting to this video. I could watch videos of people exposing Ice all day!

Whether or not he feels justified. Some shit is just criminal! He used it to buy a car for himself!

from what I can tell he committed what is called 'Theft by deception" a felony. But I could be wrong as we don't have all the facts. But I would look at him being incarcerated real soon. Keep an eye out on it.

These scams are still illigal,

In Portugal you leave a car in a parking spot with a PS5 inside, next day theres no parking spot anymore.

I apprecicate the hounesty of the guy atleast, hope the IRS is watching these crypto scam guys reeeeal close though.

Telling twitch chat to think for themselves. Lmao.

The idea that there are no "real" investors and it's all some type of tax/money laundering/whatever scam makes the entire thing make a lot more sense.

My dad always said “if it’s to good to be true it is” and “nothing in life is for free even if it says it’s free.” Words I try to live by …

We have a saying in Brazil that goes something like "the occasion makes the thief". So yeah, he saw his chance and went for it, because he had the chance to do so. Did he ever had the intention the steal? Who the fuck knows, be he saw his chance and did it.

22:07 probably the best 3 minutes of my life.

With some of the nft guys getting legal repercussions, I'm surprised nothing has come of this situation yet

I love that you called them riot’s I live in New York and there’s more than a hundred stores boarded up out of business and not coming back cause those bums felt the need to loot and burn everything in sight

500k for being known as a scammer, great job ice and i get a feel like hes proud of it. All i can say is good luck in the future ice.

Asmon is giving the tough love that a lot of people need. Like its true that it sucks for those people, but at the same time like, who on earth would invest in Iceposiden?!

The problem resides in the fact that there are no regulations from the Feds or Internationally involving cryptocurrencies. Had there been consequences he would have had one of two things happen, a huge tax dent or FTC investigation. Either way, he claimed on a stream admitting to making a 500k income, so someone should report him to the IRS to get their taxes from him.

“Lead me not into temptation and the devil ain’t shit” 😂😂😂

1:22:30 Asmongold is highly poetic sometimes... this was super interesting to hear

I know it's weird saying it, but I'm a new viewer, I just adore this guy. He makes me laugh, he talks sense, he shares his feelings and emotions in such an honest way, I love him. My favourite man. Maybe he could marry my daughter, Amber. She's misunderstood but I'm sure he could put her right.

Lmao stole the guild bank IRL! Perfect analogy!

The surprising part to me is that Ice still streams and has a following somehow. I thought he went dark years ago.

This is probably one of the best videos asmon has made. Some real shit right here and heartfelt advise

Coffeezilla is amazing, been following him for a hot minute now

Reminds me of Role Models and that guy who steals the TVs lmao....

6:30 LMFAO I LOST IT. 🤣

Ice be ninjaing like a boss

Vaulty:" Asmon's content is not trasformative"". Meanwhile Asmon makes a 20ish minute video, an hour long video +

i love this videos. literally binge-watching them xD

An hour and 23 minute video but me and you both know that this is the CUT down version imagine how much longer it was on stream

People need to be careful doing stuff like this online and then thinking they're untouchable. What's stopping someone from just beating his ass or just ending his life, people have done more for less lol

RFID blockers definitely help prevent passive attacks, like when you are just standing in the line at the grocery store, but the second you pull the card out to make the transaction, you have already been skimmed. It takes milliseconds to scoop a card so the very instant it is clear of the blocking material, it has been read. Best case scenario, the skimmer is ahead of you in the line and you aren't a doofus that stands there holding your card the whole time. The most sinister part of the scamming world is that the mainstream response is ALWAYS 2 to 3 steps behind. That fancy new widget that prevents XYZ attack? Neat, we were doing that like 3 years ago... congrats, I guess? Whatever thing you are buying in a typical consumer fashion as security is something that stopped being lucrative a long time ago and the scammers are already working on new ways to take your money. The only real security against this stuff is to educate yourself on how to do it... and then, if your ethics demand as much, choose not to use that information for evil... or don't, I ainchyomomma.

"abrakadabra alakazam 300 000$ BAAMM!" most beateful poetry Í've ever heard

I swear I love how Asmond retorted the person claiming "Victim blaming" "Victim blaming" is just a way for dumb people to avoid being held accountable for their dumb actions...

Coffeezilla got him to admit to a crime so he’ll have to return it and most likely face jail time

I hope his redemption arc starts with him setting up a GoFundMe Campaign for the victims and rug pulling that too.

Asmon reminds me of when Lex Luthor became a good guy in the comics. "Listen this shit is a scam and this is how I'd do it. I would've scammed for free." 😆

I mean yes, very true, people do need to take accountability for their own choices and actions. That doesn’t remove the issue that people do this all the time and a lot of the time these scams specifically, in an unregulated market, are targeted towards taking money from kids. People who are still learning. We can push the info and it’s not up to us if they follow it. But basically saying “suck it up admit your wrong and don’t think about what they did” breeds the idea that nothing anyone else does matters. It does. At the end of the day we are all people. Doesn’t matter if we are horrible to each other we SHOULDNT be. Accountability for legitimate crimes that are robbing people, regardless who they are and again some people are still learning life. We don’t get taught anything growing up and to say figure it out just repeats a horrible cycle. Disagree or not but I hope everyone has a good day and night. Stay safe out there

Asmon being straight up saying how he would've done it smarter is why we watch XD

Twitch chat being aids

You can’t tell people “you’re a bad person” and expect them to just agree though. We do that all the time and then we are baffled at their excuses. Yes. Anything is better than being branded “a bad person” all of society dreads it unless you’re one of those nihilist “life is pain” types then you likely couldn’t care less what people brand you as.

that goblin music that starts as he starts talking about scammin potentials priceless
