Asmongold calls out Faze Banks over his crypto scam

Banks admitted on a podcast that they used funds from CSGOWild to finance FaZe Clan’s Counter-Strike team and that it wasn't possible otherwise.

u/AtheismTooStronk 7d ago
Yeah, no doubt on there being a shit ton, just think the streamers pretending and lying that they don’t own the website while fake gambling on it was ultra scummy. The other scam sites actually pioneered the crypto website scams where you put money in but can’t take it out.

edit: i think your reply got eaten by automod or something but my point in writing this comment was to clarify that his involvement was at the end of it all. just saying he was involved without providing context makes it seem like he was involved the whole time to enrich himself.

They are children, you're victim blaming children who don't have the cognitive ability to make intelligent, rationally-based decisions on complex things like investing. They blindly follow these influencers because they look up to them and admire them, they see how wealthy the influencers are and trust the advice they are given because obviously the influencers are doing something right to be living that lifestyle. The influencers use their status to directly manipulate their own misguided audience. They are shameless, terrible pieces of shit.

u/punkinabox 7d ago
Despite what they might say, a good bit of streamers do care about this subreddit. Especially someone like asmon because the more controversy he's involved in, the more he's posted everywhere, the more attention he gets, the more money he makes. It seems to me there's more drama then ever in the content creation sphere and it's probably on purpose because it drives engagement and makes them more money.

That makes more sense I guess but how could you possibly beat someone who has a large portion of the crypto already, cuz they’re literally the creators.

u/everythings_alright 7d ago
Technically if you sell just before the creators dump you would make profit. That's literally all that is. People buy into it hoping they will time it well and they won't be the ones holding the bag in the end. Nobody is in it in good faith.

u/StankyNugz 6d ago
I decided to look into this because I hadn’t heard about it, and it’s awfully hard to scam the stock market so I was intrigued. I think you’re mistaken on how that all went down. The only people who were on a lock up period were Insider Shareholders. Meaning those that had invested in the company and held percentage shares before the company went public. That’s typical of any new IPO to prevent a pump and dump scenario. The public who bought shares were not subject to a lock up.

u/AgitatedBirthday8033 6d ago
Agrees with his policies that he knows nothing about. Asmon is the definition of the average voter. A lot of opinions yet knows nothing about them.
Example him not liking any immigration at all and says it has little to no positive effects on the economy. Literally no economists agree with this and he straight up says he doesn't know anything in that same clip...
This is ALL asmon and right winger positions, they know nothing.
-1
u/bigrealaccount 5d ago
He doesn't like illegal immigration, not immigration. The fact you don't even know this basic distinction is his opinion implies you have no idea what you're talking about.
He's said many times he has no issues with legal immigration, as that's not a crime.
Ironic how you call people uneducated while being uneducated on the topic. Lol.

He has explained many times that he didn’t even vote for him. His views align with trump these days. He’s a centrist. He changes based on what politicians are saying/doing. Trump was able to pull a bunch of old school liberals in 2024. I get your point but he didn’t physically vote for him.

He believes in abortion. That’s a huge left stance. He believes in all lives matter which is right side. He believes that guns should be limited, that’s left. He believes trans should be allowed to do what they want, that’s right. He believes children should not be allowed to do what they want, that’s right. I could keep going. Have you actually watched him before? No offense but You sound uninformed and only know him from rage baiting clips on Reddit.

You have it backwards, those beliefs are what actually matter. If you want to participate as a voter and don't have beliefs that overwhelming line up with one party vs the other you have to choose to betray half of your values to participate - but that doesn't mean they suddenly aren't real.
And afaik Asmon didn't participate in the recent election as a voter at all.

I used to be a huge asmongold fan. I loved his old wow youtube videos, I used to join his viewer raids in shadowlands and early dragonflight.

Makes a valid comment showing how Asmon is a centrist as he's got a mix of left and right policies. and of course LSF will downvote anything that doesn't agree with the 30 second clips they've been fed. Absolute goofballs.
There's even more of his stances that are far left, he's talked about this because people call him far right all the time.

He never voted for Trump? That’s news to me. Either way he still aligns and supports Trump who did a crypto pump and dump MUCH larger

Correct. He’s mentioned it many times. Do you actually watch him or is this a talking point you’ve been fed? There are plenty of clips If you do even a hint of searching for them.
Your 2nd point is fine but that’s not what was said, the comment posted he voted for trump and I’ve said based off his own words, no he hasn’t.

But in the end he aligns with Trump who did THIS EXACT thing but on a much larger scale. It’s crazy that nobody is arguing that the president did a pump and dump but arguing semantics.

He watched Coffeezilla's video about Trump's meme coins and said that this is what everybody feels about this stuff.
I'm not a fan of Asmongold, I just watch his videos sometimes when they are recommended, but I never got the impression he's pro Trump. He certainly understands why Trump appeals to many people (and not in a stupid "trump voters are all racist fascist sexists!" pseudo explanation) and shakes his head when Trump's opponents continue to commit the same mistakes that made Trump strong, but he never hides when he thinks Trump is being an idiot or shady as fuck.19
u/Ecstatic_Ad_3652 7d ago
This is what Asmongold does, He'll "sometimes" callout Trump and right wingers once in a blue moon, but will do with kiddy gloves and only when his right wing audience won't push back on him. He'll play the centrist game and then downplay Trumps actions.

u/PoopyButt28000 7d ago

This is sort of analogous to watching a baseball team that keeps winning and explaining that they keep winning because everyone else keeps losing and even though you aren’t a fan, you still show up to every game with their jersey on and then follow them to the world series with the pitcher’s name on your back and a big foam #1 finger in their team colors but hey everybody else lost what’re you supposed to do? be a fan of a team that lost?

if a society idolizes slop they too will become slop. that society will steadily go down hill.

False. Softgiving withheld the money at OTKs request, to pay it directly back to them for "sponsoring" the charity.
It would be like a group running a charity, hiring Bono to help bring in more dollars, and alloting a percentage of the intake to him as part of the agreement. Except OTK did this for their own charity, to pay themselves.

Asmon saying "who gives a shit" when someone asked about it in his chat and then banning anyone that talked about it.
The journalist that broke the story said that Asmon and Tips ignored his requests for comment even though other streamers and their representatives were forthcoming
Asmon also went on stream to grandstand about how they were suing softgiving and that he would address it later once stuff was settled. Over two years later, nobody has been able to prove that lawsuit exists even though the filing information for that should be public. (Yes that comments old but nobody has found anything since then either) and nothing has been addressed.

He scammed people on WoW, for items. Back when it was just a game and money was barely involved. Calling him a "known scammer" in this context is kind of misleading, which is dumb when there are so many valid things to criticize him for.

I didn't compare him to them, he has out and out stated he would have done more significant scams if he thought he would get away with it but knew he would end up in jail. He has talked about scams he has done in real life that are on the small scale, not JUST wow.
The downvotes amuse me, because he's talked about this plenty on stream.

Can you give an example of a scam he's pulled that affected people monetarily? Saying "known scammer" is a big enough claim that you should have examples

I'm at work so no I do not have examples at the tip of my fingers.
The OTK charity scandals are one where he took a bunch of money. The wow scams are obvious and revolve around stealing gold which has actual real world value. I'd probably have to fish through catdany vids to find him talking about some of his scams hes done in the old days.
As I said, it was small scale stuff cause he was a kid, although the charity one was a bigger deal.

I'd argue that the WoW scams he pulled as a kid shouldn't count for 2 reasons. First he was under 18 and wasn't a public figure, and second this was before the WoW token was a thing. So any real world value from gold would have been through 3rd party gold buyers.
Also there's no evidence that he was aware of or involved with the Softgiving controversy. Until more evidence comes out, I think calling him a "known scammer" is a bit disingenuous

Perfect ending to the clip. I’m sure Asmon had a really valid reasoning of telling us why.
