Holy fuck, Karl Jobst put a piece out on The Completionist's charity! WTF?!
Bro, I love the Completionist. Don't tell me he's a scammer. I'm about to watch thisIt's looking extremely likely. Best case scenario I see, he was completely unaware but his name's still associated with it and he's the one doing the fundraising events.
It's looking extremely likely. Best case scenario I see, he was completely unaware of it but his name's still associated with it and he's the one doing the fundraising events.He knows what he did. He said numerous times that the money was being given out and it apparently hasnt.
Jirard himself wasn't aware till last year and now is personally involved in finding the right partner after finding out, but still went on streams claiming they were sending funds out.Allegedly.
Title + thumbnail is a little clickbaity/implying beyond whats actually going on
The weird part is that he didn't even steal the money. It's just sitting there.Yeah. It's still not a good idea for charity to sit on money for an extended period of time, so not sure what they're thinking.
So kind of a nothing burger then?If I told you for years that I was fundraising for charities but the money never went to charities and instead is just sitting there in an account, wouldn't you find that strange?
So kind of a nothing burger then?I mean he had the money for a decade
Yeah. But if he wasn't aware, wasn't actually stealing it and is now looking for charities to supportMoney gotten through fraudulent means isn't much better than stealing.
I would say that's just bad management and kinda shitty. But nowhere the level of stealing it.

Yeah. But if he wasn't aware, wasn't actually stealing it and is now looking for charities to supportHe said he wasn't aware, but then got incredibly defensive and attacking them for "trying to ruin his reputation." That makes him suspicious at the very least.

All youtubers and streamers are Logan Paul levels of scammers. No exceptions.That's a bit of a generalization since, you know, Karl Jobst is a Youtuber.
So kind of a nothing burger then?He still lied saying he was giving the money out when he wasn't. It kinda like half of a Ponzi Scheme
I have nothing against The Completionist besides the fact that I have never seen someone try so hard to be funny all the time and never even be remotely funny. It is seriously amazing how unfunny he is.It's part of why I don't follow his videos. He seemed really nice otherwise, but his Completionist videos tried to inject humor and 90% of the time it was painful.

It's weird, but I can actually believe that this guy just didn't realize until he was told, like he said in the video. Like, I feel like I'm usually decent at sussing out people who seem excessively positive to a suspicious degree, and while he might have been, he didn't come off as entirely fake, if you get me. Like horrifically irresponsible, but not necessarily lying.Nah he admitted he at least knew since 2021, so the fact that nothing happened for 2 years is also alarming
But maybe I'm off the mark. I've known of this guy since before he started the charity, but I've only watched one of his videos iirc.
I can imagine charity being something that sounds simple and it turns out you're totally unprepared for the administrative responsibilities and complexities of the money handling and accounting or whatever. I feel like giving him the benefit of the doubt, but again I haven't watched the video. Would like a transcript tbhIncompetence is no excuse for illegality.
Nah he admitted he at least knew since 2021, so the fact that nothing happened for 2 years is also alarmingWell yeah, like I said, 'until he was told'. Karl said 2022 in the video, but Jirard said 2021, so I'm a bit uncertain. Not a good look. If it was only one year, I could maybe buy him keeping the lie up in hopes of maintaining credibility, and working to get it fixed. I dunno, I feel like gamers are the exact type of person to be so dumb about this stuff.
Incompetence is no excuse for illegality.Incompetence/negligence vs reckless/intentional can in fact change what somebody is charged with. But besides that, it certainly can affect how strongly we condemn him for it. Was he a gamer dweeb over his head or was he literally planning to steal hundreds of thousands of charity money? There is an ocean of difference.

Was he a gamer dweeb over his head or was he literally planning to steal hundreds of thousands of cancer money? There is an ocean of difference.What cancer money?
What cancer money?Isn't that what the charity is for? Cancer research? The charity money, in any case, is what I mean.
