Wow. I wondered what the fuck he had been doing. Running an NFT thingy would not have been my first guess. I'm sure he still plays WoW under a pseudonym considering it was the only thing in his life.
Edit: Just watched the video they link to in the article. No doubting that's him. How fucking stupid do you have to be to not use a voice changer?

They really are sending their best* people.

How is this guy not behind bars?

I used to watch his streams sometimes. Man, he seemed like a weird dude and his Twitch chat was noticeably toxic. Guy is scum of the earth.

Not defending the person, but being accused or "allegations" is not proof or proven guilty. Best to not condemn before proven guilty.
White collar criminals and now serial rapists are using the pseudo-anonymity of the blockchain to enrich themselves. Cool system.
When even NFT scams throw you out, that shows a lot about how much of an asshole you are tbh.
Nah Josh doesnt deserve statements like these. There is no reason to not question why the justice system is so slow with this.

On the one hand, good on the company for seemingly immediately dropping the guy once they realized who he was. On the other hand, do they not do background checks, or even require prospective employees to disclose their identity for tax and payroll purposes? Was this guy being paid under the table? When I got a retail job (I'm in the US), they made me fill out various tax and employment eligibility forms, all of which required me to give my real name, among other personally identifying information. I'm under the impression even remote jobs require such forms. I wouldn't be surprised if it's normal for crypto-related startups to not do their due diligence regarding taxes etc. Sketchiness is their modus operandi, after all.
Being involved in an NFT startup, with intent and knowledge, is literally a red flag as there's no person with any kind of quality values that would do that.

User Banned (2 Weeks): Concern Trolling Over Sexual Abuse Allegations; Account in Junior Phase
This is the same mindset that has gotten plenty of innocent people convicted, rushing the process is not the answer and never has been. Do all the investigating before conviction. Everybody, no matter the crime, how you feel about them, or allegations has the right to due process.
He was almost exclusively soliciting and grooming underage women. Don't need to wait for a ineffectively slow judicial system catching up to condemn that.
Imagine chosing method fucking josh as the hill to die on...
There is so much evidence about him being a POS online with pretty much no effort required to find it.
MethodJosh sounds horrid, but for everyone like him, there are some legitimately good people that happen to be in the NFT scene as weird as it seems. Like Corridor Digital.
No, it's absolutely fine to judge someone without criminal conviction. Don't be fooled by this rhetoric, not all bad things with proofs get people thrown into jail. Getting judged by society without involvement of the judicial system is absolutely fine and normal

We have literal proof for Josh. There is no wrong mindset here.
