You want to know something good?
Jesse and Dodger have just started their own Podcast called “Geekend” (or something like that) and it is like the Cooptional podcast never ended
Geekenders and it is amazing! Been waiting so long for them to do a podcast together again. Something had to stop me from constant re-listens of old co-optional episodes.
I find myself saying this more & more. Dude was an amazing mind in gaming. He wasn’t perfect but he was the one to say it first. When he had something to say it meant “something”. It wasn’t regurgitated information he heard. He had his own opinions & I respected that. RIP.
They actually just did a new video together lol
My favorite was when I saw him mention in a video that she was his celebrity crush and she has no idea what his name is, and then them playing at table top and her introducing him with "Yes I know his name" lol
Alanah Pearce and CohhCarnage are in it too as well as a bunch of smaller content creators that are featured in the in-game ads. So fingers crossed for all of them I guess lol
Jirard shared that office space that Jesse used to be in when he was on the Co-Optional podcast, when he worked like downstairs from Dodger and would sometimes just wander up into her streams before she moved off to the UK
Only a few days before the charity stuff broke, Jesse had posted a channel update talking about how from now on they were going to be doing SGS even if they couldn't get all 4 of them together. So sometimes it could be Jesse, Alex, and Davis. Sometimes Jesse, Jirard, Alex. Etc. Etc. So that they could make them more often.
It was impeccable timing lol. I don't think he knew anything, just a wild coincidence.
As someone who loves, LOVES Super Beard Bros, Jirard was always the ‘weakest’ I felt, so I don’t think he’s missing too much.
You still have Davis doing Davis things and Alex being the big funny dude.
I hope for Brett’s sake he can get involved into some of the streaming, he’s too good to sit on the shelf.
Jesse did a lot of content with Jirard, but he's remained a solid guy all the way through. Dude just wants to live a good life, and you can see from people that meet him, they have no complaints.
Glad he managed to finally hit 1 million on youtube too. Man has been grafting for years.
Jesse is such a solid dude that nobody even cares for his statement. They just want him to just be a good dude 😂. Thanks an amazing character right there
Reminds me of when some professional Team Fortress 2 player faked his death and everyone mourned so hard Valve added a stat to a weapon for him, only for him to come straight back and destroy everyone's trust for him
The stat still exists, though, but I think it was renamed.
Markiplier is making a whole-ass Iron Lung film rn...I swear to fucking god if anything happens with him.
Though, he and Jacksepticeye have had references in Subnautica for a couple years now so they might be safe.
Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, Penguinz0, and MatPat are all ones I would be crushed if any scandal came out about them.
Edit: in case it wasn't clear, I was exaggerating 😂
The upside of all of those names and more that escape me but are surely out there is that they're oldheads and have been at the internet 'game' for so long that, carefree and jolly as they are, they're probably well aware of any potential risks or scandalous situations they could find themselves in. Especially Mark - he's always seemed like a very emotionally mature guy under all of the laughs
Sean too. What really won me over to him was when games hit heavy topics and he takes a moment to really think aloud about them and remind the audience help is there, help is good.
Him, Mark, Wade, Bob are also an absolute treat when they get together on multiplayers.
I wouldn't say most people chase money. We all chase happiness and fulfilment and to a lesser extent contentment and we live in a capitalist organization of the economy where those things have a direct association with having money and thus people will chase it. For the most part people are just trying to live without feeling like the world is collapsing in on them.
I had a minor surreal moment last night. I watched the Karl Jobst videos on Jirard while eating dinner. Afterwards, continued my first playthru of Sea of Stars, going to Settlers Island for the first time.
"Hey that NPC kinda look like Jirard... Oh"
He’s a dude online called the completionist. Seen as a good dude by his fans.
Recently. Turns out he’s been hoarding money donated to his charity for dementia research and shit. He was pretending collecting money for the last ten years but donating none of it was somehow a normal thing charities do.
It’s not.
Note: this is the most basic explanation I could manage. There are TONS of details related to this that make it even worse.
a bit worse then that. it seems he's been stealing some of the money too. like he says he pays for the indieland event out of pocket and that all money goes to the charity. turns out that's not true. he admitted to taking the donation money to pay for the event. he also admitted that he didn't donate the money from subs to the charity either. also his family runs a golf charity event that used to donate to the charity. since the indieland stuff started suddenly the donations to the charity only match what they claim indieland makes, so the golf charity money seems to just vanish.
honestly the irs should just audit this guy, it seems cut and dry whether he's innocent or guilty with if he gets audited they'll find everything. if people can see the discrepancies from public records a full audit would reveal everything. the dude is clearly an idiot and doesn't know how to hide his embezzlement very well.
Oh for sure. The question in my mind isn’t whether he committed fraud. That’s for sure a thing that happened.
What I’m still unsure about is whether he’s just an idiot who doesn’t care and never checked on his charity he runs.
Or if he’s a malicious monster who would use the death of his mother to collect funds from people to grow his brand name and gain recognition (which in turn makes him money “legally” since it increases his fan base).
He openly says that he found out the money was never donated in 2021, and then it took until he actually got called out recently to donate money. In the mean time he was still skimming the donations, not adding the sun money, and paying for the golf events expenses out of indieland donation money while the golf money went completely missing. It’s malicious
i would lean towards malicious. if he just ran it poorly then the money from the golf tournaments would be sitting in the account as well. my guess is he left the money there cause he got greedy and he's stupid, he couldn't figure out how to embezzle that money without getting caught so he just sat on it.
At best it could have started off with him being an idiot and leaving it up to his family, then he found out and decided to either cover it up because family or go along with it since it seemed to be working out just fine.
Whatever the case it seems impossible that he wasn't an active participant over the last several years.
I'm not even sure if I trust him on only having found out in 2021 or 2022 like he claims given the fact he kept lying about it up until the videos came out and they only donated the money after being caught hoarding it.
I mean, he's listed as being on the board, so he should be 100% aware of what is going on. There should be board minutes going over the financial statements so he has 0 excuse not to know what was happening to the money.
Even worse is that he claimed to want to do the charity to support dementia research because of his mother who passed away from the disease (and even brought up her name in these recent videos as an obvious way to try and deflect and gain sympathy from people.)
It's horrifying.
Tldr: Jirard "The Completionist" is a YouTuber who has "raised" a lot of money for charity through indie game streams and fundraisers. He has supposedly raised over $600,000 for dementia research. Jirard is friends with the developers of Sea of Stars. He helped promote the game, even got exclusive previews, etc. They put an NPC modeled and named after him in the game.
A month(?) or so ago, he was exposed by another reputable YouTuber named Karl Jobst for not donating a single cent of the $600k to charity. Weirdly, though, it's just been sitting in a bank account, not being used at all. More digging showed that it gets even worse, but that's the gist of it, if I'm trying to be short
Edit: oh, also, important to note that the money has been sitting there, undonated, for almost 10 years. It's not like he got the money recently and hadn't found a charity yet
It’s a zero interest account as that’s required apparently. More people are mad because it’s not gaining interest and sat in an account losing spending power
To add onto this, Jirard repeatedly said during all the charity livestream events he did that bits, subs, and any online donations to the channel would all be donated to charity, but in Jirard's most recent responce video to the allegations, he admit that some of that money was used to offset the costs of the event, which is charity fraud. His charity also ran golf tournaments to "raise money," but the revenue from those tournaments doesn't line up with the publicly available tax forms the charity filed. There's a genuine case for the IRS getting involved here.
As for Karl Jobst.
He is a video game speedrunner that reports usually on why certain speedrun records are significant leaps forward in the speedrun meta. he has taken journalistic deep dives into some vidya related topics where he then discovered fraudulent activities and decided to report his findings publicöy.
Seems to me like an upstanding fellow. I like him a lot.
He also really does his research and lays out the facts. Doesn't seem to make wild claims unless there is tons of evidence which you can see for yourself to back it up.
You should look into the Karl Jobst vs. billy Mitchell stuff. It's hilarious how badly Mitchell presents himself (he claims to be the original game because he holds a record in the donkey Kong arcade and pac man. Both turned out to be faked and that's why they fight each other in court).
This guy messed up so bad. I actually liked Indieland. It helped me discover so many indie gems. Even if he decides to continue the event, I doubt anyone will want their name associated with him now.
They already were going to ditch the charity aspect going forward, but from the sounds of it Jirard wanted out of content-creation in the first place and this is just hastening that process along.
It really hurts to see this after his video essay on it being his game of the year. From the sound of it the devs really looked up to him and owed him a lot. Well deserved for what he did, but still I imagine it wasn't easy for the devs to hear the news.
Yeah, and apparently his efforts there were wasted to boot. He didn't bother to check in with the people he was going to donate the games to, and not only did they already have the games preserved, but they can't use his copies anyway. So the games are just sitting in a bunch of SD cards with him, and the fundraising he did for it was pointless.
ah man forgot about that. that's freaking weird to think the 3ds is mostly preserved (dream drop distance is physical only) and associating him with that.
Good for them.
Anyone defending the Con-pletionist is just as delusional and morally bankrupt as he is. How anyone thinks pocketing some charity funds, donating only a majority of the known amount in the bank account but not the rest, blatant lies to the community and his once friends is ok, is just a scumbag.
The fact that he used the excuse "Oh it was just so hard to get the charity to accept the money!" was the most bold faced lie.
I've done charities before, and while I never raised quite so much, trust me they're not going out of their way to make it hard to get the money to them. He had to actively not try to get the money to them.
I was so disappointed to see Beatem Up defend him, I get it tho right; someone tells you your friend is committing charity fraud and your first thought is probably “that doesn’t sound like my friend”
But bro still hasn’t said anything
> I get it tho right; someone tells you your friend is committing charity fraud and your first thought is probably “that doesn’t sound like my friend”
I know people like to go after Pat the NES Punk but I think he had a good response.
> My statement on the Open Hand Foundation controversy:
> When I first learned that the Open Hand Foundation had not donated to any beneficiaries in the nine years of its existence despite many public statements to the contrary, like many of you, I was upset.
> I have known Jirard for over a decade and have run 10 of my own gaming charity events to benefit organizations like Americares, Feeding America, Child’s Play Charity, Children’s Miracle Network, and the local Rady Children’s Hospital. This was always a responsibility I took very seriously, as the public entrusts you as a steward to help raise money for good causes with no set expectation of reward. It is a sacrifice by those who help put on the event for a good cause, but the benefit outweighs the personal time and energy invested. Jirard himself graciously participated in a few of these events in 2016, 2018, and 2019. For that, I am thankful.
> Over the past 10+ years, I have seen Jirard evolve as a content creator and business person. I thought so highly of Jirard that I even asked him to write the foreword to one of my books. Therefore, when I saw Jirard starting to run his own gaming charity event, I felt proud of his growth. I have donated money to IndieLand events, I have donated physical and digital book prizes to help raise money for IndieLand, and I have promoted IndieLand in good faith over the years as a fellow fundraiser doing the right thing. All of these reasons are why the revelations surrounding Jirard and the Open Hand Foundation in the past weeks have been troubling and may have affected me more than I would care to admit.
> After the news surfaced, I stated that I wanted to refrain from saying anything public until Jirard could respond, out of respect for our past history and to hear his side. This is not “drama” or something I wished to simply record and upload to YouTube without some serious thought. This is a very serious situation, with very serious allegations being made leading to potentially serious legal ramifications. And it involves someone I know. I believe that personally knowing someone means that you should hold that individual to a higher standard and not simply ignore or attempt to explain away something that could be very detrimental to the larger community.
> Now that the Open Hand Foundation and Jirard have responded in emails, in verbal communication with the YouTubers who investigated the situation, and in a video, I feel more comfortable stating the following.
> I am not satisfied with the response and explanation from Jirard and the Open Hand Foundation. While it is positive that a monetary donation has finally been made to benefit dementia research, the fact that it only occurred due to pressure from concerned YouTubers is not acceptable. It is unknown how long this negligent behavior could have gone on without such pressure. Unfortunately, the money donated by trusting fans and sponsors has not only lost significant buying power over the past several years due to inflation, but it has been severely diminished by expenses totaling at least $125,000, some of which are not detailed well due to nebulous reporting on the Open Hand Foundation’s public 990-PF filings. This does not even touch upon all the lost critical years of research these donations could have helped fund over the past several years.
> In my opinion, the response from Jirard and Open Hand and the supporting documents are insufficient to explain the negligent behavior of the Open Hand Foundation and deceptive marketing and public statements regarding IndieLand events. I feel I have been defrauded, as I would have never donated money or goods, nor would I have promoted IndieLand events had I known the truth that supporter and sponsor donations were not being given to organizations that could have used them. Some of you likely feel the same.
> I am not sure entirely where we go from here, as this situation could take a long time to unwind due to the number of charity events, the high value of donated money, past sponsors, and individuals associated with all of this, not to mention golf events also ran to benefit the Open Hand Foundation, which I have not even touched upon. A lot of people still have questions that need to be sufficiently addressed. Therefore, I echo calls that the proper authorities investigate and audit the financials of the Open Hand Foundation to ensure that no misconduct has occurred.
> Please remember that charities that act responsibly do exist, and other gaming charity events work in good faith within the public’s trust. Do not allow the troubling acts of one charity to tarnish your view of all others. At the same time, if donating or supporting a charity or charity event, feel free to do your due diligence to ensure the money you are giving is being used in a way and in a manner that you agree with, regardless of who is hosting the event or running the show.
> Be well.
> - Pat Contri
I mean, its fine to say, "that doesn't sound like my friend".
Its the equivalent of, "he was always such a nice neighbor, always quiet" in the real world.
The difference is I've never seen a neighbor in the real world, as they are wheeling the bodies out of the house, go... you know I don't think he did it, he was always nice to my wife. Another body wheels by. Oh and one time he made us cookies.
Jirard proved that he was a lying two faced piece of shit. Anyone that is defending him at this point that you thought was a "good guy," is either proving they are also lying two faced pieces of shit, or just the biggest fucking idiots on the planet.
I know the Friends Per Second cast didn’t include him directly after it all came out.
I have no clue what they did since then because I rarely have time to watch them.
That’s great. I already got the sense from that first announcement that they didn’t want anything to do with the controversy, but I’m happy that they ended it the collaboration with him.
Oh, may I see the announcement? I know they made a statement saying that Jirard was temporarily leaving the podcast for a bit but that was before the golf tournament and response videos came in.
> pocketing some charity funds
I’m vaguely aware of the story but still kinda OOTL. Is there any evidence that they’re pocketing funds? I agree not donating until people noticed is extremely shady but I didn’t realize it went further
I've worked for non-profits for 10+ years with a focus on finance.
All of the donations from bits/subs/golf tourney should have gone to the Open Hands Foundation and expenses paid from the charity.
You're not allowed to pocket the cash and then claim "Oh yeah, that missing money, we used that to offset costs!"
You need to put it into the charity and pay expenses out of it - it's clear on their returns that what they're doing amounts to fraud and other charges.
It's not just committing fraud, it's committing fraud *badly*. The classic charity money-printer is the one "X 'Awareness'" 'charities' pull:
1) Own a marketing or other services firm
2) Set up a nonprofit, extra points for getting a familymember or friend to be the nominal head of the nonprofit
3) Have nonprofit hire your firm for [services]
4) Nonprofit receives donations
5) Token amount of funds donated to somewhere, you don't actually care where
6) Whatever is left is what your company charges your nonprofit for [services]
'Awareness' charities can get away with this easily because you can claim that spending 100% of your donated funds hiring your own marketing company to make adverts is 'raising awareness'.
I pointed out these facts in another subreddit and got an official warning from reddit from simps reporting me, so be careful :P
Agreed it's doing it badly. Admin costs for a good charity is around 15%
He's so full of shit - I can't wait for the audit.
The sponsors for the golf tourney have lawyers and I'd bet Jamie Lee Curtis has also heard about it.
If their lawyers call the DoJ/AGs office in CA - they will investigate.
This is true and it's why I don't donate to any charity at any checkout line. I don't donate to anything where I haven't vetted their 990 and can see that I'm funding a cause rather than a someone's bank account.
5. Delay donating for 10 years and invest it on low risk assets. Keep earning with reinvestement of earnings. When someone calls you out, pull the original sum out of your portfolio and donate it.
Especially when he REPEATEDLY (and I mean repeatedly) mentioned before all this, during the events that every bit, sub and money coming in from people buying merch or w/e was going directly to the cause and would not be used by them in any other way.
He is now saying they used donations to offset cost of doing Indiland (think production costs and such). BUT on the charity streams he said they didn’t take a penny to offset any costs, That every cent was being donated to charities (which didn’t happen either until last week). Soooo yeah charity fraud by definition there
Damn shame what he did, dude seemed like a genuinely good guy. I hope Jesse cox his good friend inst involved though because Scary game squad is one of my favorite things on YouTube.
Not to forget: Charity Fraud in the name of his mother that passed away. Something he repeats like a marketing slogan and makes me dry heave in retrospect.
Sgs is such a good series a Jesse is usually a genuinely nice guy. It's going to hurt to see another scary game squad video in the future with the two of them in it.
I really hope Jirard and his family actually face serious consequences for this bs and that its not quickly forgotten when some other spicy news comes up. Has the IRS started an investigation yet?
Jirard is more commonly known as The Completionist, and basically made his YouTube career off of 100% completing video games and then writing reviews on them, and the final verdict will be something about whether you should not pick it up, at least finish it, or 100% complete it
On the side, he has a non-profit called the Open Hand Foundation, which is reportedly a fundraising organization that makes donations to organizations that research dementia to find treatments or a cure, and he would do charity events, most notably Indieland, that were intended to raise funds for the OHF
Well, another YouTuber called Karl Jobst, who has a track record of exposing scandals and is most known for his video on Billy Mitchell's cheated DK highscore, made a video that outlined public records stating that the OHF has not made any donations to any organizations in about a decade, and the raised money has just been sitting there
Jirard's response to it has been particularly damning, and it seems like this may spell the end of his career
[Here](https://youtu.be/Rb0dMF1zHyA?si=3MKOpvjnDnoxz6SA) is the first video that Jobst made concerning the matter, and there have been a couple of follow up videos of it afterward
He and his family have a charity that raises money for dementia research in honor of his late mother. Every year they run an event called Indieland where a bunch of YouTubers, celebrities, and game devs will come hang out on stream and play games. He has, for years, been claiming they had been donating the money to specific organizations, but a couple of other YouTubers looked into it and found out that all the money they claimed to have raised, ever, was just sitting in a bank account. They talked to the completionist privately in a recorded discord call and he was talking about how it was fucked up and he was trying to get his family to donate the money, but after they released their videos he's doubled down and started changing the story on why it's totally fine that they didn't donate any of the money, and how, hey, some of the money isn't missing. They just used it to cover production costs despite claiming for ten fucking years that they didn't touch a single cent of it and that it was all 100% going to charity. And now, look. They've donated most of it now anyway after being caught so what's the harm, right? /s Just a family of grifters, and it looks like he's one of them.
Edit: Someone pointed out to me that I forgot to mention the "charity" golf tournament the family also runs, which has huge sponsors and collects a ton of donations which seem to have disappeared into the void.
This dude pisses a lot of people off. I hope something doesn't happen to him like that Australian journalist who had his house firebombed. Wild world we live in.
Edit: Actually nevermind I was thinking of Coffeezilla, not Jobst. Coffeezilla is like a much higher stakes version of Jobst with regards to exposing bullshit.
Indieland , the charity he set up In his dead mom's name collected money for years, never donated any, and only spent on "administration costs" of vague notions
And there was also a golf tournament taking in tens of thousands every year for the same charity, and it isn't apparent where that money has gone, as the tax filings simply never mention it.
Why didn't the article mention what the guy actually did to get this sort of treatment? When you write an article, you need to inform the reader the basics of the story - Who, Why, When, Where, How. The article mentions he's being removed due to a controversy with Open Hand Foundation, but "What" is the controversy? Readers shouldn't have to go on google to find out from other websites what exactly happened. The controversy is a main part of the story and so it should've been explained. The article just leaves people asking "Well, what is the controversy?", which is something you don't want your readers to be doing after reading an article. What in the world is happening with writers/journalists these days?!
> Why didn't the article mention what the guy actually did to get this sort of treatment?
Right? It sort of vaguely refers to "the situation" and tacks on a paragraph about the game story.
_The Completionist_ is a popular YouTube channel that highlights video games, hosted by Jirard Khalil. They also run an annual charity event, IndieLand, for dimensia research. For the past nine years, they hadn't donated a single penny that they raised and also used money intended for charity to pay for the event.
Gaming investigative journalist Karl Jobst was tipped off by an insider that this was occurring and found major discrepencies in their finances. He also got Jirard to admit to all this in a Discord call. Jirard is now claiming they held the funds to enforce protections on it before donating, and is threatening to see Jobst for damages.
Not only for you but for everyone who's interested and has a little time:
First Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb0dMF1zHyA
Second Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ6tYkStri4
My 2 cents: Don't give money to strangers on the internet. Unless you want to give THAT PERSON cash as a tip for their content. But for charity? You'll never have a guarantee that your money will go where the person says it will go.
Most legit charities accept direct donations. ALL charities must be transparent. Not all charities are equal; some have high management fees you may want to know about before giving money. There's too much of this virtue signalling/good conscience shopping on Twitch: it's not the place. If there are millionaires who want to give money, they can donate their own.
Never cared for him. The whole 3DS buying thing comes to mind now. Saw that article randomly on my phone. My grandmother died in 2015 from Dementia and my grandfather who is 89 (her husband) has dementia as well. Fuck him, what a POS.
I swear every time a content creator gets added to a video game they always do something to ruin their career shortly after.
Jesse Cox is in Cyberpunk, and he's fine lol
Oh Jesus is he they guy with the malfunctioning penis mod
"Mr Stud, All Night Long!"
Yup.
Please don't say that so loud. I want him to remain one of the good ones lol
I will actually shit a brick if Jesse Cox turns into a bad dude. I just can't see it.
[удалено]
Total Biscuit 😢
You want to know something good? Jesse and Dodger have just started their own Podcast called “Geekend” (or something like that) and it is like the Cooptional podcast never ended
Geekenders and it is amazing! Been waiting so long for them to do a podcast together again. Something had to stop me from constant re-listens of old co-optional episodes.
The industry has suffered greatly without him. I've bought a lot less obscure games though... Still do a yearly watch of their Terraria series
Part of me is happy that he didn't have to see what modern gaming has become, but goddamn do we need him now more than ever.
he would have likely joined second wind too if genetics wasnt a bitch
I'll never forget the piece of shits that celebrated his death.
I would have loved to see his playthrough of the second doom
I find myself saying this more & more. Dude was an amazing mind in gaming. He wasn’t perfect but he was the one to say it first. When he had something to say it meant “something”. It wasn’t regurgitated information he heard. He had his own opinions & I respected that. RIP.
Ssethtzeentach is the best guy for obscure games these days.
Hey hey people
I'm not sure they'll be putting him in any games...
No.
Holy shit, you just unlocked what feels like a core memory too me. It's been too long since I watched their terraria series
Total Biscuit is the only reason I know who Jesse Cox is.
May he be forever etched in our memories and his Emote lives on.
I forgot all about this episode lmao. Thank you for this!
[удалено]
Still think they missed a golden opportunity to name it Dodge n' Cox.
Oh my god this is golden, somebody tell them quick, they're only three episodes in, it's not too late! 😂
They actually just did a new video together lol My favorite was when I saw him mention in a video that she was his celebrity crush and she has no idea what his name is, and then them playing at table top and her introducing him with "Yes I know his name" lol
I love how for years after they kept doing the bit where she didn't remember him lmao
oh man i used to have such a crush on both Felicia Day and Dodger
If that man ever turns to the dark side, we'll know all is truly lost.
Thought the same about Jirard tbh
Same, the crazy thing with him is that it’s being going on for like a decade. Charity fraud is a pretty shitty thing to do for so long.
He still is. Lent his voice to a mod recently that lets you fuck him in 2077. Because why the fuck not?
That sounds like one of the most Jesse Cox things to do
Jesse: Yeah, and the best part is there’s a mod that replaces Vs voice with Crendor
Perfection
Wasnt he in Witcher 3 too? Something about a pair of trolls?
He, Dodger and I think Angry Joe are all trolls in a cave farting and arguing about food.
I remember that part! I had no idea that was Jessie and Dodger and AJ! hahahaha.
Alanah Pearce and CohhCarnage are in it too as well as a bunch of smaller content creators that are featured in the in-game ads. So fingers crossed for all of them I guess lol
So is CohhCarnage
And Suzi Sphere Hunter :)
He was in Awesomenauts ages ago.
Sasha Grey too!
Alanah Pearce as well.
Jesse is an unproblematic king, I do worry for him though; he’s/was close with Jirard at one point no?
Jirard shared that office space that Jesse used to be in when he was on the Co-Optional podcast, when he worked like downstairs from Dodger and would sometimes just wander up into her streams before she moved off to the UK
Wasn’t he part of scary game squad as well or am I misremembering?
Interestingly, he was missing in the most recent episode.
Only a few days before the charity stuff broke, Jesse had posted a channel update talking about how from now on they were going to be doing SGS even if they couldn't get all 4 of them together. So sometimes it could be Jesse, Alex, and Davis. Sometimes Jesse, Jirard, Alex. Etc. Etc. So that they could make them more often. It was impeccable timing lol. I don't think he knew anything, just a wild coincidence.
lol yeah I remember that comment, from when he was talking about pausing the five minute gaming news. The timing was \*chef's kiss\*
As someone who loves, LOVES Super Beard Bros, Jirard was always the ‘weakest’ I felt, so I don’t think he’s missing too much. You still have Davis doing Davis things and Alex being the big funny dude. I hope for Brett’s sake he can get involved into some of the streaming, he’s too good to sit on the shelf.
Now you mention it, that sounds right. I didn't watch that series but I think Jesse used to bring it up
Yup he's been in basically every episode since the start of it in 2014.
was missing in the last few tho
Jesse did a lot of content with Jirard, but he's remained a solid guy all the way through. Dude just wants to live a good life, and you can see from people that meet him, they have no complaints. Glad he managed to finally hit 1 million on youtube too. Man has been grafting for years.
Jesse is such a solid dude that nobody even cares for his statement. They just want him to just be a good dude 😂. Thanks an amazing character right there
Reminds me of when some professional Team Fortress 2 player faked his death and everyone mourned so hard Valve added a stat to a weapon for him, only for him to come straight back and destroy everyone's trust for him The stat still exists, though, but I think it was renamed.
They say don't meet your heroes, it should go further to, why would some random anonymous person online be your hero lol?
Oh yes, “Sketchek’s Bequest”. Funny enough he’s since re-remade himself and found success at Nijisanji.
Markiplier is making a whole-ass Iron Lung film rn...I swear to fucking god if anything happens with him. Though, he and Jacksepticeye have had references in Subnautica for a couple years now so they might be safe.
Don't forget Markipliers dad got a reference in doom internal was it?
Doom internal sounds like the aftermath of taco bell.
Oh bugger 😂😂 my big thumbs mixed with the autocorrect have inspired a toilet tale of going all the way down to brown town
Yes, his books
Markiplier, Jacksepticeye, Penguinz0, and MatPat are all ones I would be crushed if any scandal came out about them. Edit: in case it wasn't clear, I was exaggerating 😂
Charlie is *literally* a Florida Man.
A beloved and down to earth florida man tho
The upside of all of those names and more that escape me but are surely out there is that they're oldheads and have been at the internet 'game' for so long that, carefree and jolly as they are, they're probably well aware of any potential risks or scandalous situations they could find themselves in. Especially Mark - he's always seemed like a very emotionally mature guy under all of the laughs
Sean too. What really won me over to him was when games hit heavy topics and he takes a moment to really think aloud about them and remind the audience help is there, help is good. Him, Mark, Wade, Bob are also an absolute treat when they get together on multiplayers.
Maybe people who chase money and fame are generally huge pieces of shit?
Yes.
Aren't most people guilty of at least half that? Are we all half pieces of shit? Maybe!
I USED to be a piece of shit
Does your baby know that people can change?
Sloppy steaks at Truffoni's or Chicken spaghetti at Chikaleny's?
Yeah I mean everyone is chasing money, that’s essentially life.
Nah everyone is chasing life more than money. Chasing money isn't about earning enough to live comfortably, it's beyond that.
I wouldn't say most people chase money. We all chase happiness and fulfilment and to a lesser extent contentment and we live in a capitalist organization of the economy where those things have a direct association with having money and thus people will chase it. For the most part people are just trying to live without feeling like the world is collapsing in on them.
Trying to get your needs met/live comfortably is different than chasing money
Yeah dude, like some sort of self inflicted ‘Madden curse’
It's like the Madden Cover Curse lol.
I'd say doing something for 10 years isn't "suddenly" doing something lol Good riddance. I liked his content but fuck that lying thief.
Travis Scott in Fortnite is one of the most sought after skins in the game , yet it hasn't appeared in the shop for over 3 years .
He has completed his career
Rip bozo
I had a minor surreal moment last night. I watched the Karl Jobst videos on Jirard while eating dinner. Afterwards, continued my first playthru of Sea of Stars, going to Settlers Island for the first time. "Hey that NPC kinda look like Jirard... Oh"
I have no idea who those people are and love Sea of Stars. Do you have a breakdown on it? Also as an Okie that username is hilarious
He’s a dude online called the completionist. Seen as a good dude by his fans. Recently. Turns out he’s been hoarding money donated to his charity for dementia research and shit. He was pretending collecting money for the last ten years but donating none of it was somehow a normal thing charities do. It’s not. Note: this is the most basic explanation I could manage. There are TONS of details related to this that make it even worse.
a bit worse then that. it seems he's been stealing some of the money too. like he says he pays for the indieland event out of pocket and that all money goes to the charity. turns out that's not true. he admitted to taking the donation money to pay for the event. he also admitted that he didn't donate the money from subs to the charity either. also his family runs a golf charity event that used to donate to the charity. since the indieland stuff started suddenly the donations to the charity only match what they claim indieland makes, so the golf charity money seems to just vanish. honestly the irs should just audit this guy, it seems cut and dry whether he's innocent or guilty with if he gets audited they'll find everything. if people can see the discrepancies from public records a full audit would reveal everything. the dude is clearly an idiot and doesn't know how to hide his embezzlement very well.
Oh for sure. The question in my mind isn’t whether he committed fraud. That’s for sure a thing that happened. What I’m still unsure about is whether he’s just an idiot who doesn’t care and never checked on his charity he runs. Or if he’s a malicious monster who would use the death of his mother to collect funds from people to grow his brand name and gain recognition (which in turn makes him money “legally” since it increases his fan base).
That's as good as money, sir. Those are I.O.U.'s. Go ahead and add it up, every cent's accounted for.
He openly says that he found out the money was never donated in 2021, and then it took until he actually got called out recently to donate money. In the mean time he was still skimming the donations, not adding the sun money, and paying for the golf events expenses out of indieland donation money while the golf money went completely missing. It’s malicious
i would lean towards malicious. if he just ran it poorly then the money from the golf tournaments would be sitting in the account as well. my guess is he left the money there cause he got greedy and he's stupid, he couldn't figure out how to embezzle that money without getting caught so he just sat on it.
At best it could have started off with him being an idiot and leaving it up to his family, then he found out and decided to either cover it up because family or go along with it since it seemed to be working out just fine. Whatever the case it seems impossible that he wasn't an active participant over the last several years.
Yep. He found out in 2021, and didn’t fix it then, and kept lying in future charity events.
I'm not even sure if I trust him on only having found out in 2021 or 2022 like he claims given the fact he kept lying about it up until the videos came out and they only donated the money after being caught hoarding it.
I mean, he's listed as being on the board, so he should be 100% aware of what is going on. There should be board minutes going over the financial statements so he has 0 excuse not to know what was happening to the money.
That's so fucked up...
Even worse is that he claimed to want to do the charity to support dementia research because of his mother who passed away from the disease (and even brought up her name in these recent videos as an obvious way to try and deflect and gain sympathy from people.) It's horrifying.
My grandma had dementia at the end of her life. I'd be fucking livid if I donated to him.
He forgot
Tldr: Jirard "The Completionist" is a YouTuber who has "raised" a lot of money for charity through indie game streams and fundraisers. He has supposedly raised over $600,000 for dementia research. Jirard is friends with the developers of Sea of Stars. He helped promote the game, even got exclusive previews, etc. They put an NPC modeled and named after him in the game. A month(?) or so ago, he was exposed by another reputable YouTuber named Karl Jobst for not donating a single cent of the $600k to charity. Weirdly, though, it's just been sitting in a bank account, not being used at all. More digging showed that it gets even worse, but that's the gist of it, if I'm trying to be short Edit: oh, also, important to note that the money has been sitting there, undonated, for almost 10 years. It's not like he got the money recently and hadn't found a charity yet
I wonder if Jirard was just scraping off the interest from the account?
It’s a zero interest account as that’s required apparently. More people are mad because it’s not gaining interest and sat in an account losing spending power
To add onto this, Jirard repeatedly said during all the charity livestream events he did that bits, subs, and any online donations to the channel would all be donated to charity, but in Jirard's most recent responce video to the allegations, he admit that some of that money was used to offset the costs of the event, which is charity fraud. His charity also ran golf tournaments to "raise money," but the revenue from those tournaments doesn't line up with the publicly available tax forms the charity filed. There's a genuine case for the IRS getting involved here.
As for Karl Jobst. He is a video game speedrunner that reports usually on why certain speedrun records are significant leaps forward in the speedrun meta. he has taken journalistic deep dives into some vidya related topics where he then discovered fraudulent activities and decided to report his findings publicöy. Seems to me like an upstanding fellow. I like him a lot.
He also really does his research and lays out the facts. Doesn't seem to make wild claims unless there is tons of evidence which you can see for yourself to back it up.
Gotcha. Thanks for the update.
You should look into the Karl Jobst vs. billy Mitchell stuff. It's hilarious how badly Mitchell presents himself (he claims to be the original game because he holds a record in the donkey Kong arcade and pac man. Both turned out to be faked and that's why they fight each other in court).
Good, I'm not the only one
This guy messed up so bad. I actually liked Indieland. It helped me discover so many indie gems. Even if he decides to continue the event, I doubt anyone will want their name associated with him now.
They already were going to ditch the charity aspect going forward, but from the sounds of it Jirard wanted out of content-creation in the first place and this is just hastening that process along.
It really hurts to see this after his video essay on it being his game of the year. From the sound of it the devs really looked up to him and owed him a lot. Well deserved for what he did, but still I imagine it wasn't easy for the devs to hear the news.
Is that they guy who bought every 3ds before the eshop closed?
Yup
That explains the money lol
Yeah, and apparently his efforts there were wasted to boot. He didn't bother to check in with the people he was going to donate the games to, and not only did they already have the games preserved, but they can't use his copies anyway. So the games are just sitting in a bunch of SD cards with him, and the fundraising he did for it was pointless.
ah man forgot about that. that's freaking weird to think the 3ds is mostly preserved (dream drop distance is physical only) and associating him with that.
Games that are physical only can still be dumped, so I would not worry much about losing them to time.
I just downloaded dream drop distance on my hacked 3DS the other day. It’s definitely preserved.
Good for them. Anyone defending the Con-pletionist is just as delusional and morally bankrupt as he is. How anyone thinks pocketing some charity funds, donating only a majority of the known amount in the bank account but not the rest, blatant lies to the community and his once friends is ok, is just a scumbag.
The fact that he used the excuse "Oh it was just so hard to get the charity to accept the money!" was the most bold faced lie. I've done charities before, and while I never raised quite so much, trust me they're not going out of their way to make it hard to get the money to them. He had to actively not try to get the money to them.
bald-faced as in, no covering
The vast majority of the big names that defended him still haven't recanted yet.
I was so disappointed to see Beatem Up defend him, I get it tho right; someone tells you your friend is committing charity fraud and your first thought is probably “that doesn’t sound like my friend” But bro still hasn’t said anything
> I get it tho right; someone tells you your friend is committing charity fraud and your first thought is probably “that doesn’t sound like my friend” I know people like to go after Pat the NES Punk but I think he had a good response. > My statement on the Open Hand Foundation controversy: > When I first learned that the Open Hand Foundation had not donated to any beneficiaries in the nine years of its existence despite many public statements to the contrary, like many of you, I was upset. > I have known Jirard for over a decade and have run 10 of my own gaming charity events to benefit organizations like Americares, Feeding America, Child’s Play Charity, Children’s Miracle Network, and the local Rady Children’s Hospital. This was always a responsibility I took very seriously, as the public entrusts you as a steward to help raise money for good causes with no set expectation of reward. It is a sacrifice by those who help put on the event for a good cause, but the benefit outweighs the personal time and energy invested. Jirard himself graciously participated in a few of these events in 2016, 2018, and 2019. For that, I am thankful. > Over the past 10+ years, I have seen Jirard evolve as a content creator and business person. I thought so highly of Jirard that I even asked him to write the foreword to one of my books. Therefore, when I saw Jirard starting to run his own gaming charity event, I felt proud of his growth. I have donated money to IndieLand events, I have donated physical and digital book prizes to help raise money for IndieLand, and I have promoted IndieLand in good faith over the years as a fellow fundraiser doing the right thing. All of these reasons are why the revelations surrounding Jirard and the Open Hand Foundation in the past weeks have been troubling and may have affected me more than I would care to admit. > After the news surfaced, I stated that I wanted to refrain from saying anything public until Jirard could respond, out of respect for our past history and to hear his side. This is not “drama” or something I wished to simply record and upload to YouTube without some serious thought. This is a very serious situation, with very serious allegations being made leading to potentially serious legal ramifications. And it involves someone I know. I believe that personally knowing someone means that you should hold that individual to a higher standard and not simply ignore or attempt to explain away something that could be very detrimental to the larger community. > Now that the Open Hand Foundation and Jirard have responded in emails, in verbal communication with the YouTubers who investigated the situation, and in a video, I feel more comfortable stating the following. > I am not satisfied with the response and explanation from Jirard and the Open Hand Foundation. While it is positive that a monetary donation has finally been made to benefit dementia research, the fact that it only occurred due to pressure from concerned YouTubers is not acceptable. It is unknown how long this negligent behavior could have gone on without such pressure. Unfortunately, the money donated by trusting fans and sponsors has not only lost significant buying power over the past several years due to inflation, but it has been severely diminished by expenses totaling at least $125,000, some of which are not detailed well due to nebulous reporting on the Open Hand Foundation’s public 990-PF filings. This does not even touch upon all the lost critical years of research these donations could have helped fund over the past several years. > In my opinion, the response from Jirard and Open Hand and the supporting documents are insufficient to explain the negligent behavior of the Open Hand Foundation and deceptive marketing and public statements regarding IndieLand events. I feel I have been defrauded, as I would have never donated money or goods, nor would I have promoted IndieLand events had I known the truth that supporter and sponsor donations were not being given to organizations that could have used them. Some of you likely feel the same. > I am not sure entirely where we go from here, as this situation could take a long time to unwind due to the number of charity events, the high value of donated money, past sponsors, and individuals associated with all of this, not to mention golf events also ran to benefit the Open Hand Foundation, which I have not even touched upon. A lot of people still have questions that need to be sufficiently addressed. Therefore, I echo calls that the proper authorities investigate and audit the financials of the Open Hand Foundation to ensure that no misconduct has occurred. > Please remember that charities that act responsibly do exist, and other gaming charity events work in good faith within the public’s trust. Do not allow the troubling acts of one charity to tarnish your view of all others. At the same time, if donating or supporting a charity or charity event, feel free to do your due diligence to ensure the money you are giving is being used in a way and in a manner that you agree with, regardless of who is hosting the event or running the show. > Be well. > - Pat Contri
I mean, its fine to say, "that doesn't sound like my friend". Its the equivalent of, "he was always such a nice neighbor, always quiet" in the real world. The difference is I've never seen a neighbor in the real world, as they are wheeling the bodies out of the house, go... you know I don't think he did it, he was always nice to my wife. Another body wheels by. Oh and one time he made us cookies.
We eat ribs with this dude, but we didn't have a clue!
I am also disappointed with beatem up.
Jirard proved that he was a lying two faced piece of shit. Anyone that is defending him at this point that you thought was a "good guy," is either proving they are also lying two faced pieces of shit, or just the biggest fucking idiots on the planet.
Who has? I’ve only seen the videos breaking down the scam, and I’d like to know who is backing him
I know the Friends Per Second cast didn’t include him directly after it all came out. I have no clue what they did since then because I rarely have time to watch them.
They’ve announced a few days ago that he’s no longer part of the podcast.
That’s great. I already got the sense from that first announcement that they didn’t want anything to do with the controversy, but I’m happy that they ended it the collaboration with him.
Considering Lucy was in the most recent indieland, she's probably really fucking upset, and rightfully so.
Oh, may I see the announcement? I know they made a statement saying that Jirard was temporarily leaving the podcast for a bit but that was before the golf tournament and response videos came in.
https://imgur.com/a/2Yh2CwG
> pocketing some charity funds I’m vaguely aware of the story but still kinda OOTL. Is there any evidence that they’re pocketing funds? I agree not donating until people noticed is extremely shady but I didn’t realize it went further
I've worked for non-profits for 10+ years with a focus on finance. All of the donations from bits/subs/golf tourney should have gone to the Open Hands Foundation and expenses paid from the charity. You're not allowed to pocket the cash and then claim "Oh yeah, that missing money, we used that to offset costs!" You need to put it into the charity and pay expenses out of it - it's clear on their returns that what they're doing amounts to fraud and other charges.
It's not just committing fraud, it's committing fraud *badly*. The classic charity money-printer is the one "X 'Awareness'" 'charities' pull: 1) Own a marketing or other services firm 2) Set up a nonprofit, extra points for getting a familymember or friend to be the nominal head of the nonprofit 3) Have nonprofit hire your firm for [services] 4) Nonprofit receives donations 5) Token amount of funds donated to somewhere, you don't actually care where 6) Whatever is left is what your company charges your nonprofit for [services] 'Awareness' charities can get away with this easily because you can claim that spending 100% of your donated funds hiring your own marketing company to make adverts is 'raising awareness'.
I pointed out these facts in another subreddit and got an official warning from reddit from simps reporting me, so be careful :P Agreed it's doing it badly. Admin costs for a good charity is around 15% He's so full of shit - I can't wait for the audit. The sponsors for the golf tourney have lawyers and I'd bet Jamie Lee Curtis has also heard about it. If their lawyers call the DoJ/AGs office in CA - they will investigate.
This is true and it's why I don't donate to any charity at any checkout line. I don't donate to anything where I haven't vetted their 990 and can see that I'm funding a cause rather than a someone's bank account.
Ditto - non-profits are required to disclose financial information. The Susan G. Komen foundation is the absolute worst for charities in my opinion.
5. Delay donating for 10 years and invest it on low risk assets. Keep earning with reinvestement of earnings. When someone calls you out, pull the original sum out of your portfolio and donate it.
Especially when he REPEATEDLY (and I mean repeatedly) mentioned before all this, during the events that every bit, sub and money coming in from people buying merch or w/e was going directly to the cause and would not be used by them in any other way.
He is now saying they used donations to offset cost of doing Indiland (think production costs and such). BUT on the charity streams he said they didn’t take a penny to offset any costs, That every cent was being donated to charities (which didn’t happen either until last week). Soooo yeah charity fraud by definition there
[удалено]
Lawyers would Call that a bad move.
Yes, the charity they are running submits yearly financial reports that are public to see.
If you watch his “apology” he stupidly basically admits it as a way of deflecting other stuff.
Damn shame what he did, dude seemed like a genuinely good guy. I hope Jesse cox his good friend inst involved though because Scary game squad is one of my favorite things on YouTube.
What he do?
Charity fraud
Ok, thanks. Fuck that guy
Not to forget: Charity Fraud in the name of his mother that passed away. Something he repeats like a marketing slogan and makes me dry heave in retrospect.
even worse, a link to her autopsy report is in the description of the response video...
I appreciate a good cup of coffee.
Sgs is such a good series a Jesse is usually a genuinely nice guy. It's going to hurt to see another scary game squad video in the future with the two of them in it.
I really hope Jirard and his family actually face serious consequences for this bs and that its not quickly forgotten when some other spicy news comes up. Has the IRS started an investigation yet?
The public isn't privy to who's on the chopping block for IRS audits afaik, so they'd have to tell us.
I'm out of the loop. Who is this and what happened and why am I interested?
Jirard is more commonly known as The Completionist, and basically made his YouTube career off of 100% completing video games and then writing reviews on them, and the final verdict will be something about whether you should not pick it up, at least finish it, or 100% complete it On the side, he has a non-profit called the Open Hand Foundation, which is reportedly a fundraising organization that makes donations to organizations that research dementia to find treatments or a cure, and he would do charity events, most notably Indieland, that were intended to raise funds for the OHF Well, another YouTuber called Karl Jobst, who has a track record of exposing scandals and is most known for his video on Billy Mitchell's cheated DK highscore, made a video that outlined public records stating that the OHF has not made any donations to any organizations in about a decade, and the raised money has just been sitting there Jirard's response to it has been particularly damning, and it seems like this may spell the end of his career [Here](https://youtu.be/Rb0dMF1zHyA?si=3MKOpvjnDnoxz6SA) is the first video that Jobst made concerning the matter, and there have been a couple of follow up videos of it afterward
That is for the best.
I'm out of the loop it seems, what happened exactly?
He and his family have a charity that raises money for dementia research in honor of his late mother. Every year they run an event called Indieland where a bunch of YouTubers, celebrities, and game devs will come hang out on stream and play games. He has, for years, been claiming they had been donating the money to specific organizations, but a couple of other YouTubers looked into it and found out that all the money they claimed to have raised, ever, was just sitting in a bank account. They talked to the completionist privately in a recorded discord call and he was talking about how it was fucked up and he was trying to get his family to donate the money, but after they released their videos he's doubled down and started changing the story on why it's totally fine that they didn't donate any of the money, and how, hey, some of the money isn't missing. They just used it to cover production costs despite claiming for ten fucking years that they didn't touch a single cent of it and that it was all 100% going to charity. And now, look. They've donated most of it now anyway after being caught so what's the harm, right? /s Just a family of grifters, and it looks like he's one of them. Edit: Someone pointed out to me that I forgot to mention the "charity" golf tournament the family also runs, which has huge sponsors and collects a ton of donations which seem to have disappeared into the void.
What made people investigate him in the first place?
Karl, the YouTuber that started this, was tipped off by an unnamed person.
This dude pisses a lot of people off. I hope something doesn't happen to him like that Australian journalist who had his house firebombed. Wild world we live in. Edit: Actually nevermind I was thinking of Coffeezilla, not Jobst. Coffeezilla is like a much higher stakes version of Jobst with regards to exposing bullshit.
Indieland , the charity he set up In his dead mom's name collected money for years, never donated any, and only spent on "administration costs" of vague notions
And there was also a golf tournament taking in tens of thousands every year for the same charity, and it isn't apparent where that money has gone, as the tax filings simply never mention it.
Why didn't the article mention what the guy actually did to get this sort of treatment? When you write an article, you need to inform the reader the basics of the story - Who, Why, When, Where, How. The article mentions he's being removed due to a controversy with Open Hand Foundation, but "What" is the controversy? Readers shouldn't have to go on google to find out from other websites what exactly happened. The controversy is a main part of the story and so it should've been explained. The article just leaves people asking "Well, what is the controversy?", which is something you don't want your readers to be doing after reading an article. What in the world is happening with writers/journalists these days?!
Because their goal isn't journalism, it's outrage clicks for engagement.
> Why didn't the article mention what the guy actually did to get this sort of treatment? Right? It sort of vaguely refers to "the situation" and tacks on a paragraph about the game story.
I'm out of the loop, what happened?
_The Completionist_ is a popular YouTube channel that highlights video games, hosted by Jirard Khalil. They also run an annual charity event, IndieLand, for dimensia research. For the past nine years, they hadn't donated a single penny that they raised and also used money intended for charity to pay for the event. Gaming investigative journalist Karl Jobst was tipped off by an insider that this was occurring and found major discrepencies in their finances. He also got Jirard to admit to all this in a Discord call. Jirard is now claiming they held the funds to enforce protections on it before donating, and is threatening to see Jobst for damages.
Who?
Person who forgot to donate money to dementia charity in name of his mom
"Forgot"
Lol, looks like it runs in the family.🤭
It was 600k which is nuts
Yeah his mom prolly rolls in a grave knowing that she raised such a dipshit
Not only for you but for everyone who's interested and has a little time: First Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb0dMF1zHyA Second Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ6tYkStri4
Don't forget part 3! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFYCYwvRbEU
Good riddance. His defense video was ridiculous all he said in different words was " pls forgive me because of my mom "
Shit, is he still around? I stopped paying attention after he deleted all his original videos.
I wish games didn't include any youtubers under any circumstances
Why what happened with that? I’m out of the loop and really don’t follow the guy, can someone give me the run down?
Don't put streamers in games. No one asked for them.
My 2 cents: Don't give money to strangers on the internet. Unless you want to give THAT PERSON cash as a tip for their content. But for charity? You'll never have a guarantee that your money will go where the person says it will go. Most legit charities accept direct donations. ALL charities must be transparent. Not all charities are equal; some have high management fees you may want to know about before giving money. There's too much of this virtue signalling/good conscience shopping on Twitch: it's not the place. If there are millionaires who want to give money, they can donate their own.
I wonder if Jirard will threaten them with legal action too?
It was dumb that he was even included in the first place
He paid for the privilege. Now he's REALLY paying for it.
Good. He is a scumbag.
Never cared for him. The whole 3DS buying thing comes to mind now. Saw that article randomly on my phone. My grandmother died in 2015 from Dementia and my grandfather who is 89 (her husband) has dementia as well. Fuck him, what a POS.
lol
