what i dont understand is how scamming is often way worse then theft with larger amounts stolen, psychological damages, longer term stress etc. but rarely are people held criminally liable. I steal a guys $20 off the street and i do jail time. i scam thousands of people online, probably dont even get caught.
@@justinn9622 its so mind boggling to because you can pretty easily prove someones being a scammer. Though on the other hand a lot of scammed people are embarrassed to admit it and get help, no one likes to feel THAT stupid.

She is good at playing people also... don't forget to give her a sub to make sure she continues to have more money than you.
"Sucks to see one of my favorite content creators get absolutely screwed by" their own inability to research and find a professional business partner before advising their fans to waste money on this scam? Don't forget to Sub!
This is one of the reasons I still like Asmon and watch some of his videos. He is on the side of the little guys (sometimes), gives their trouble a louder voice and that helps them a lot.

Hope Richard gets put in his place. Love & Justice for Barny64, hopefully some subs too cuz that shit is frikin stressful. Asmon might be the king of goblins but he always does the right thing, thats why I love his content.

this is the exact reason why i do everything myself. i bought commercial machines to create clothes, embroider, and print on high volume, all shipping services give free boxes / label printers etc so thats a huge plus and saves a lot of money, shipping is easy to do, actually when you (as a customer) PAY for shipping, it creates the label for you to attach onto a box, all you have to do is print and slap it on a box with the stuff inside. ITS NOT HARD. (as a note, i am able to complete around 400 orders a day, working for about 6 hours a day, and a large portion of it getting distracted by asmongold/sodapoppin vids like right now.

This is the most popular "business model" on the internet right now. You present a "product" and a way to order it (and of course, a way to pay for it). People pay for it. You get ALL the money, AND THEN you start ordering the things you need to turn into your product USING the money that people paid you. And then somewhere along the way you deliver the product along with a freebie and a "sorry for the delay here's a freebie" message. This way, you don't pay for stuff. Your customers pay for it. No need to frontload on huge inventory of materials, nope, just wait for the orders.
Most contracts(at least in the US) have a clause for arbitration to address the issue that taking legal action is often too expensive for it to be practical. After arbitration, if a party wants to challenge the ruling or take further action then they can often become liable for any additional costs the other party may now incur. Also, in a similar situation I'd strongly advise against doing what Barny did; especially for someone with your amount of money and viewership - meaning A LOT to lose... that's just asking for a libel/ slander/ defamation of character suit. What Barny did is exactly what you shouldn't do unless you wanna just burn everything down. You can't provide select excerpts from a contract, certain specific pieces of communication, and tell an entire narrative from your perspective without; not only, providing full documentation for people to review themselves, but allowing the opposition to provide their side of the story. I mean, this is why we have a legal system... Maybe the dude is a lying scumbag who cheated and stole, but you can't come out and say your half of a story, provide selective information, and try to ruin someone's reputation in a way that will have clear and identifiable financial ramifications! You even mentioned a case where false accusations ruined someone's life. Although, I will say that Barny's story sounds legit and if no suit comes from him it is probably indictive of Barny's story being mostly true... so, FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT EVEN IF IT MIGHT NOT BE THE SMARTEST/BEST CHOICE :P
the thing is with them declaring bankruptcy is, you can still acquire any assets they may have to equal the amount owed in resell value, liquidity I'm pretty sure it can be sometimes called. She doesn't even need a good lawyer, not only that this could be a class action law suit, as multiple people have been defrauded out of money from this person, they just need to split the cost of a lawyer, and just sue him. If they don't acquire all monetary value from his assets to equal the amount that is defrauded, at least the guy has had everything taken from him. He deserves to be penalised for his unlawful actions and dealings, and needs to pay the price so he can learn to be a better person. He will continue to do this because there is no consequences for his actions.
One thing most people think of when you successfully sue someone..is that lawsuit stays on their Public Records on that pop up on every credit report check here in the US. So that's also a rep and trust destroyer is having that on it.
This is by definition, embezzlement, the agency is under contract and in her “employment” as her business management firm. Him being the CEO makes him responsible for payments not being made to her or any other creators that holds this agency under contract.
It really is and I honestly had a lot of fun learning how to voice train. I think even if you aren't trans there could be fun applications for doing it like voice acting or pulling pranks on friends lol.
Sad thing is this is nothing compared to what many others have been scammed out of. Need to start putting all these scammers on blast and doing all we can do hold them accountable
They need to start to put people like this in jail for 10 years, there will be way less people who do this, there is simply no real accountability for it.
Wait, so a "$6,000" PC signing bonus is literally a scam? You can't return the PC (which is def not worth $6k). Seems almost like influencers should reject any signing bonuses that are not just cash.
That's wild man. Hopefully everything gets solved in the long term. Thanks for raising awareness Asmon. Barney is surely super happy about your support! Left my prime for her as well
whats wild is barney recognized that richard scammed other people previously, and STILL used him. Are people brain dead? this is 100% barneys fault. 12:16
Great video tbh. I think we forget how smart and experienced asmon is because of his online personality. He’s seen all this before. He’s been in countless contracts and done a ton of deals.
Also, most likely Maddie put this guy's name in the tags so if you search his name on google (which many employers do) this youtube vid will probably come up. Certainly will if they look into the company he used to own.
I used to work for a guy that acted like this. He would only pay the people that complained the most and seemed to enjoy delaying paying people as if it was some kind of game and he was trying to hit a high score for how long he could stretch out the period before he actually had to pay. Multiple times I had to deal with debt collectors that would turn up to the office. Debtors would sometimes give up and negotiate a reduced settlement. When he got the opportunity to pay someone less than he owed them, after often a year or more, he would be so happy he often danced with joy that he had got one over on them. He ended up changing career and becoming a human rights lawyer. So perhaps there is some kind of link with the kind of people that do that work and this kind of behaviour
I used to not like Asmon simply based off of watching some of his older content and forming an early opinion. Maybe it's how he's matured more or he's just able to be himself now, but whatever the reason, I've never resonated with and agreed on as many things as I do with him. His thought process and way of thinking is so similar to mine. He's one of the most raw and genuine content creators all while still being respectful and entertaining. Even though I'm a nobody, I still apologize for being so dense to form an untrue opinion of you. You seem like a really great guy and wish you nothing but more success.
I've worked for someone who thought they were smart enough to scam me from money and paystubs but the moment they get angry at you for asking about legal documentation of their money flow it's so funny to see them in their delusion
People joke about how asmon turns a 13 minute video into a 1 hour long session but if more people actually engaged, researched and talked about the stuff they watched instead of forgetting it an hour later we would all have better attention spans.
Usually, contingency lawyers would take about 33% (and sometimes you can get the fees levied against the defendant). As this case would be against Poqito's company, he's likely judgement proof because he can just declare chapter 11 after losing the case.
Whats crazy is that Raid paid me 800 dollars for their sponsor. I only averaged 15 viewers at the time. 400 of it was guaranteed with 0 sign ups. Only needed 10 signups for the other 400 bucks. I think the contract shown in video is a bunch of bullshit.
Is he/she a transgender? Or was this actually a long con and she's a legit girl who was posing as a guy? I'm genuinely confused here, what's the story behind Barny?
I remember ordering a watch from a streamer’s link when twitch was relatively new. I never received the watch emailed them about it they told me the watch arrived and they couldn’t do anything about it, swore to never order junk from another streamer again.
43:51 something tells me that this may be actual crime/felony, while sueing them may not get anything back, going to authorities to fuck his life up would be on the table.
As someone who got scammed in a renovation deal I can guarantee you that you stand nowhere, these types of people get away with A LOT , crime pays. And the worst part is that this happens ALL THE TIME. There are an endless amount of stories. People are NOT always dumb. And the reason is what Asmon says, your contract is only as good as your lawyer. yeah so whatever you do you close a contract and all you can do is hope the other party has no ill intent. Sickening but 100% reality .
A year later and Poqito and Influencer Stuff is still active. No charges or lawsuits brought against them, that I can find. Which makes me believe Barney isn’t shooting straight with us. There is much more to this store than just her side.
I ordered a plushie and got mine eventually but it did take an insanely long amount of time, i eventually forgot i ordered it until it arrived in the mail one day lol.
Stuff from Bungie shop regularly takes 6 months to a year to arrive when it's preorder items. Same for Ice Nine Kills merch. They take orders, and if they sell enough, they then manufacture them in China and eventually ship them out. If they don't sell enough, it randomally gets canceled like 6 months later, which has happened to me and my wife multiple times with unique INK merch. It's an issue with seasonal items like coats, hoodies and tanks. You order them months b4 the season, but they don't arrive until the season you can't wear it. We ordered INK coats in spring, and now that it's getting cold, they still haven't been manufactured and they sent an update email saying it got delayed again, we'll probably get them next spring where we won't need them for another 6 months.
a former friend of mine was (and still is) a huge pathological liar, to the extend that after a point of knowing him, you would assume that whatever came out of his mouth was a lie, no matter how insignificant or important, that guy would lie about everything and anything. He was a real headache to be around, but I have to admit that calling out his lies and see him try to lie his way out of lying was the highlight of the evening
In my country you would get a fraud, and have to pay back.. Otherwise you would lose even your credit rating and everything.. You would never be able to place even on order for anything without paying for it first.. You would struggle to even find a home to rent.. As most people require your score to be good. If you did somehting like this here, the ramifications would be quite severe.. But I am from Finland, so I am also extremely happy, and fortunate things are as well, as they are..
God damn, I didn't realise Barney was still making content. I watched her stuff when she was still going by Keyori and playing league, I haven't watched for ages though. Didn't realise she transitioned.
Biggest scam in the history of the gaming industry. I love how its fanbase were smug and laughed at No Man's Sky at its disastrous release. Look at the games now! LMAO
It's wild that this can happen. Glad Asmon is bringing this more to light.

I think "Flippy would never do that" is my new favorite asmongold joke.
There are so many things here to sue him for. Even open a case against him as a group. No matter what happens he needs to feel this for the rest of his life.
buying influencer merch is something i can never relate
Its a better way to support your favorite creator and also recive something in exchange so its better then throwing it on stream for 2 sec recognizen
@@jeremy-dean7514 at what point would you want to support a creator. Never could relate to it neither.
@@NVNNN You want to support your favourite content creators so he/she can keep creating without real life hitting them in the face with food money, rent and a whole bunch of other responsibilities.
@@ronnyrdr6553 so you buy questionable merch, produced in whatever 3rd world country for 1 dollar a piece, relabeled somewhere and sold for 20x the money to "support".... if you really want to support a creator do it like mentioned before "donate" (even subscribing is scuffed cause twitch takes a share).
@@RinrinFran I responded to WHY someone would want to support a creator. HOW someone does it is their money and their own choice.

Love it when I see streamers helping each other against thieves/monsters, and specially when the community jumps in and help as well.
Definitely will give my prime sub to barny this month even tho I never watched any of her/his videos/streams.
whats wild is barney recognized that richard scammed other people previously, and STILL used him.
Are people brain dead? this is 100% barneys fault. 12:16
38k off of one plushie. She probably has other merch and then the deals she is making 1hr guaranteed 300 dollars. So she is making more than probably every single one of her viewers even with the missing money and she is asking that they give her money... this is why people should never give anybody on youtube or twitch money, they have more than you and then still are ungrateful and apparently terrible at using money. Yeah give her more money... smh
This is the most popular "business model" on the internet right now.
You present a "product" and a way to order it (and of course, a way to pay for it). People pay for it. You get ALL the money, AND THEN you start ordering the things you need to turn into your product USING the money that people paid you. And then somewhere along the way you deliver the product along with a freebie and a "sorry for the delay here's a freebie" message.
This way, you don't pay for stuff. Your customers pay for it. No need to frontload on huge inventory of materials, nope, just wait for the orders.
This is literally how TONS of business is done.. Its called Purchase Orders
Drop shipping innit
Most contracts(at least in the US) have a clause for arbitration to address the issue that taking legal action is often too expensive for it to be practical. After arbitration, if a party wants to challenge the ruling or take further action then they can often become liable for any additional costs the other party may now incur. Also, in a similar situation I'd strongly advise against doing what Barny did; especially for someone with your amount of money and viewership - meaning A LOT to lose... that's just asking for a libel/ slander/ defamation of character suit. What Barny did is exactly what you shouldn't do unless you wanna just burn everything down.
You can't provide select excerpts from a contract, certain specific pieces of communication, and tell an entire narrative from your perspective without; not only, providing full documentation for people to review themselves, but allowing the opposition to provide their side of the story. I mean, this is why we have a legal system... Maybe the dude is a lying scumbag who cheated and stole, but you can't come out and say your half of a story, provide selective information, and try to ruin someone's reputation in a way that will have clear and identifiable financial ramifications! You even mentioned a case where false accusations ruined someone's life. Although, I will say that Barny's story sounds legit and if no suit comes from him it is probably indictive of Barny's story being mostly true... so, FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT EVEN IF IT MIGHT NOT BE THE SMARTEST/BEST CHOICE :P
barnys classic wow content is in the top 10 of all youtube content for me. i loved em. im happy you support him in this dilemma. big thumbs up
A Barny Video and Asmon reacts to it. My Super Bowl!
the thing is with them declaring bankruptcy is, you can still acquire any assets they may have to equal the amount owed in resell value, liquidity I'm pretty sure it can be sometimes called. She doesn't even need a good lawyer, not only that this could be a class action law suit, as multiple people have been defrauded out of money from this person, they just need to split the cost of a lawyer, and just sue him. If they don't acquire all monetary value from his assets to equal the amount that is defrauded, at least the guy has had everything taken from him. He deserves to be penalised for his unlawful actions and dealings, and needs to pay the price so he can learn to be a better person. He will continue to do this because there is no consequences for his actions.
I hope she reaches out to Asmon about that offer of help at the end, this shit is fucked
One thing most people think of when you successfully sue someone..is that lawsuit stays on their Public Records on that pop up on every credit report check here in the US. So that's also a rep and trust destroyer is having that on it.
this made me so glad that I am a lawyer. I can just file complaints and motions in couple of hours where I charge clients $600 per hour.
This is by definition, embezzlement, the agency is under contract and in her “employment” as her business management firm. Him being the CEO makes him responsible for payments not being made to her or any other creators that holds this agency under contract.
damn that voicerange is insane, its incredible how much you can change your voice with proper training, good for her
Isn't she a he or a t?
@@Perryfanlli1987 she is a she. its that simple
@@jacobmech1 nah its a dude doing a bad woman impersonation
It really is and I honestly had a lot of fun learning how to voice train. I think even if you aren't trans there could be fun applications for doing it like voice acting or pulling pranks on friends lol.
seriously? just sounds like a very nasal nerdy guy. which is probably why they transitioned in the first place lol
Sad thing is this is nothing compared to what many others have been scammed out of. Need to start putting all these scammers on blast and doing all we can do hold them accountable
Ayee
They need to start to put people like this in jail for 10 years, there will be way less people who do this, there is simply no real accountability for it.
Wait, so a "$6,000" PC signing bonus is literally a scam?
You can't return the PC (which is def not worth $6k). Seems almost like influencers should reject any signing bonuses that are not just cash.
That's wild man. Hopefully everything gets solved in the long term.
Thanks for raising awareness Asmon. Barney is surely super happy about your support!
Left my prime for her as well

@@tomsettle2631 ur so edgy and cool.
Great video tbh. I think we forget how smart and experienced asmon is because of his online personality. He’s seen all this before. He’s been in countless contracts and done a ton of deals.
Also, most likely Maddie put this guy's name in the tags so if you search his name on google (which many employers do) this youtube vid will probably come up. Certainly will if they look into the company he used to own.
I used to work for a guy that acted like this. He would only pay the people that complained the most and seemed to enjoy delaying paying people as if it was some kind of game and he was trying to hit a high score for how long he could stretch out the period before he actually had to pay. Multiple times I had to deal with debt collectors that would turn up to the office. Debtors would sometimes give up and negotiate a reduced settlement. When he got the opportunity to pay someone less than he owed them, after often a year or more, he would be so happy he often danced with joy that he had got one over on them. He ended up changing career and becoming a human rights lawyer. So perhaps there is some kind of link with the kind of people that do that work and this kind of behaviour
How the hell is this guy not in prison?
get her in OTK she makes great content
He probably doesn't want to be in otk after miz and rich lmao
@@Lenexa1 Asmon doesn't want to be in otk?
@@MethSloth I'm talking about barny, not asmon.
I used to not like Asmon simply based off of watching some of his older content and forming an early opinion. Maybe it's how he's matured more or he's just able to be himself now, but whatever the reason, I've never resonated with and agreed on as many things as I do with him. His thought process and way of thinking is so similar to mine. He's one of the most raw and genuine content creators all while still being respectful and entertaining. Even though I'm a nobody, I still apologize for being so dense to form an untrue opinion of you. You seem like a really great guy and wish you nothing but more success.
I've worked for someone who thought they were smart enough to scam me from money and paystubs but the moment they get angry at you for asking about legal documentation of their money flow it's so funny to see them in their delusion
People joke about how asmon turns a 13 minute video into a 1 hour long session but if more people actually engaged, researched and talked about the stuff they watched instead of forgetting it an hour later we would all have better attention spans.
what a dude, offering your help afterwards. Keep on keeping on Asmon!
Usually, contingency lawyers would take about 33% (and sometimes you can get the fees levied against the defendant). As this case would be against Poqito's company, he's likely judgement proof because he can just declare chapter 11 after losing the case.
Asmon does an usual supporting W. Much love Asmon and Barny.
I always forget to use my Prime sub so I'll give it to Barney, she doesn't deserve what happened to her, I hope the new people she found are nice.

Whats crazy is that Raid paid me 800 dollars for their sponsor. I only averaged 15 viewers at the time. 400 of it was guaranteed with 0 sign ups. Only needed 10 signups for the other 400 bucks. I think the contract shown in video is a bunch of bullshit.
I saw Barny's video on this yesterday. I wish she was selling more plushies, I would love to get one.
Shes said on another stream that she's working with another company now to have a second run of the plushies
Good guy Az. Just went to her video. I saw in yours she had like 9k views...up to 120k. Good work.
ngl chat's reaction to Barney's voice shift was hilarious
I hope at least something positive will now come out of this mess for all the people that got betrayed.
That sucks for Barney. Man I have alot of time for any WOW content creator, I feel they've kept the game alive for me for so long.
when people say violence doesn't solve anything.
certainly wouldnt hurt.
Man this is the second time that a girl has deceived me by posing as a male.
Its a double deception
Is he/she a transgender? Or was this actually a long con and she's a legit girl who was posing as a guy?
I'm genuinely confused here, what's the story behind Barny?
I remember ordering a watch from a streamer’s link when twitch was relatively new. I never received the watch emailed them about it they told me the watch arrived and they couldn’t do anything about it, swore to never order junk from another streamer again.
I had no idea Barny is a woman! I watched some of her videos in the past and liked them a lot
Not a real one
What does it matter. Barney is awesome eos
@@FoolishWisdom this. Still quite a surprise :D
@@Arendvdvenk people are so hateful for no reason. what's it to you, genuine question?
@@moomoo1984 they're insecure or threatened in some way so they lash out

Holy there is some sicko's in the comments with likes. Hating on Barny for being trans. Bruhhh
43:51 something tells me that this may be actual crime/felony, while sueing them may not get anything back, going to authorities to fuck his life up would be on the table.
Disgusting. Hope Barny gets whatever they're owed and then some.
24:00 you actually do sit in front of a jury. The grand jury, that was the jury duty I got. We decided if cases would move further on in court or not.
I feel so bad about what happened to barny there. I would have bought the plushie if I hadn't had all the trouble i did last year and forgot about it.
As someone who got scammed in a renovation deal I can guarantee you that you stand nowhere, these types of people get away with A LOT , crime pays. And the worst part is that this happens ALL THE TIME. There are an endless amount of stories. People are NOT always dumb. And the reason is what Asmon says, your contract is only as good as your lawyer. yeah so whatever you do you close a contract and all you can do is hope the other party has no ill intent. Sickening but 100% reality .
A year later and Poqito and Influencer Stuff is still active. No charges or lawsuits brought against them, that I can find. Which makes me believe Barney isn’t shooting straight with us. There is much more to this store than just her side.
I ordered a plushie and got mine eventually but it did take an insanely long amount of time, i eventually forgot i ordered it until it arrived in the mail one day lol.
Stuff from Bungie shop regularly takes 6 months to a year to arrive when it's preorder items. Same for Ice Nine Kills merch. They take orders, and if they sell enough, they then manufacture them in China and eventually ship them out. If they don't sell enough, it randomally gets canceled like 6 months later, which has happened to me and my wife multiple times with unique INK merch. It's an issue with seasonal items like coats, hoodies and tanks. You order them months b4 the season, but they don't arrive until the season you can't wear it. We ordered INK coats in spring, and now that it's getting cold, they still haven't been manufactured and they sent an update email saying it got delayed again, we'll probably get them next spring where we won't need them for another 6 months.
True and Real. Duress is such a mind-screw, and Richard’s gaslighting is standard fare for extreme pathological lying narcissists.
There is, by definition, no such thing as a true and real trans person.

This is a classic Ponzi scheme not a pyramid
a former friend of mine was (and still is) a huge pathological liar, to the extend that after a point of knowing him, you would assume that whatever came out of his mouth was a lie, no matter how insignificant or important, that guy would lie about everything and anything. He was a real headache to be around, but I have to admit that calling out his lies and see him try to lie his way out of lying was the highlight of the evening
Bro, imagine harassing asmon for playing hogwarts legacy and then you hear him say "Give your twitch prime to barny". Damn.

In my country you would get a fraud, and have to pay back.. Otherwise you would lose even your credit rating and everything.. You would never be able to place even on order for anything without paying for it first.. You would struggle to even find a home to rent.. As most people require your score to be good. If you did somehting like this here, the ramifications would be quite severe.. But I am from Finland, so I am also extremely happy, and fortunate things are as well, as they are..
God damn, I didn't realise Barney was still making content. I watched her stuff when she was still going by Keyori and playing league, I haven't watched for ages though. Didn't realise she transitioned.
