Only $10k was paid out, with $190k seemingly kept. He changed the giveaway rules, ignored participants, and claimed he was spammed. Not surprising, as he was banned last year for pulling back early supporters, and that every single username he has comes rented.

⚠ JUST IN: Racks has admitted to scamming and has pocketed the rest of the money.

Several people have come forward with proof that they were ignored or paid far less than promised, even being forced to send a voice message and only paying egirls.

This behavior is consistent with him paying egirls for camshows and the poor character he comes from, having been banned on OGU for pulling back Discord accounts and renting both his chat and channel @'s from Cold.
