2019 February - Context for the Paul Denino Ice Poseidon "Ponzi scheme" streaming website.

This post will continue to be updated as more information and sources are compiled.

 

---

Recently a video clip from Paul Denino's live stream has hit the top of \/r/videos and front page of \/r/all.

\/r/Videos post: "**Live streamer unknowingly admits to running a ponzi scheme, conning millions of dollars from investors**"

>https://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/av2c07

---

Paul Denino is a livestreamer that began on Twitch, then after being banned from the platform moved to Youtube.

He is known as Ice Poseidon and runs the quarantined (and currently privated) subreddit /r/Ice_Poseidon. There is a second quarantined community that he does not run called /r/Ice_Poseidon2.

---

There are claims that Paul Denino has started a Ponzi scheme after a clip from his livestream has begun circulating in which he explains,

>"**In order for the investors to make their money back**, what we do is we grow the company to a certain point, and then **we have other investors come in** and obviously they invest their money as well, hopefully more than 2 million dollars, and then obviously when we get more than 2 million dollars invested, **the ??? investors get their 2 mil back**, and then we have more money for the company."

This sounds like promising investors returns, then paying those returns with new investors' money.

Which would be a Ponzi scheme.

---

The prospective company is Scuffed.com, which aims to compete with Twitch as a livestreaming platform.

Paul claims to have received an initial investment of $2 million.

Keemstar has tweeted a video in which he claims this is **not** a Ponzi scheme.

There are claims that Keemstar is invested in the same company that owns Scuffed.com, named Streamme Inc.

He has promoted Stream.me in the past.

######Take this part with some skepticism:

There are additional claims that Paul has spent investment money on a renovated 1984 Guerrilla Titan military vehicle and renting a mansion.

Video about the truck:

Paul claims the mansion is worth $7 million in this video:

There are additional claims that it is Paul's manager Brent Kaskel that has pushed him into accepting this deal.

2019 March - Received a copyright takedown request by an individual. What should I do?

I uploaded a YTP of a meme-able Q&A session that a company had. A person in the video issued a copyright takedown request and has mentioned pursuing legal action on their social media against "online harassers" (such as youtube channels). The company that owns the original video did not copyright strike the video.

I sympathize with the person for being a meme and all but I would like to have the strike removed from my channel. I'm scared because I do not want a legal situation on my hands. I thought the video was just a funny meme but now I'm not sure. This reminds me of Matt Hoss vs H3H3. I feel very scared. This is the first time I've ever had a strike on my channel.
