Lol so not fire arm sales, or even drug related...it was because he looted a bunch of firearms across borders lmao. This is def something that would happen to one of the Paul's. I wish they'd just go away lol.

So this video:

touches on Jake Paul's newest scam that pretty explicitly targeted minors, reportedly had issues with people trying to cancel service, and included a community feature that made it really, really easy to DM minors unsolicited. I doubt this warrants the response we see here, but it makes it really easy to believe he's violated a whole bunch of business related laws since he has no ethical limitations and that they might actually need to find paperwork and stuff that you wouldn't expect from a 'normal' YouTuber bust.

(This one covers his previous scam site, including the fun fact that they were apparently hard pushing sales on the content two months before they yanked the site offline. He's just gross.)

Oh boy he really needed money didn't he. That probably didn't go over well with the feds nor did him being involved in looting stores during the riots.

If I were a betting man, id guess underaged grooming/sex ring?

Didn't they host house parties all the time with open invites to fans -- which ended up being young female fans? I might be talking out my ass or misremembering.

This right here. The guy has always had a creepy relationship with his (mostly young kid) audience as well. Watch the Nerd City video on him for more detail.

He doesn't run the site. But is just one of the contributors.

An entertainment lawyer called Enty runs the site.

Some of those blind items are Nostradamus tier vague. Are they supposed to range from "prince harry was discouraged from going on vacation" to "a YouTuber is in possession of illegal pornography and international gun sales"? Like what an astronomical leap in stakes.

He's always been a "name" to me. Like I see Jake Paul and Logan Paul pop up now and again for some dumb shit and I always knew they were big ... but never bothered to focus my attention further than that. Seeing that mansion, though ... holy shit is that thing excessive. I knew he had wealth, but not how much.

It's not his.

It belongs to a wealthy friend. Not sure if he pays rent.
