Not nice at all. Bad Completionist. Very bad Completionist!
thank you so much for taking part in making sure this money got donated. it would still be sitting in an account without you two
Bro I'm praying this goes to court. It would be so fucking funny to watch this, open and shut case. Started watching you for the DOOM stuff, stuck around for the Justice!
Why do you TH-camrs always advertise We Todd Ed stuff?
i was waiting for this response to the response. ( confusing i know ) but the completionist claimed innocence the same way sam bankman fried did. without going in to crypto crime, basically he said it was an accident, and that those who question accidents are bad people, and that he is still a charity genius. problem is tho.....sam lost his case. you can say you didnt know something for 10 years, but if you steal for 10 years and say oops, and then return the stolen goods....that still makes you a criminal.

"We're raising money for dementia research prevention."
He was definitely not lying about that part. They prevented A LOT of research.
lol!!!

Goddamn 😂
Just wrote up their legal defense
Lol
Prosecutor: "Did you steal the money?"
Completionist: "My mother is dead."
People: "Show Receipts"
Completionist: ~shows his moms autopsy report~

*Breaks out a Ukulele*
"if he and his family are stupid enough to go after me, i wish them the best of luck" holy shit what a cold line
to be honest, i got kind of John Wick vibes from that sentence...
@@dubi127 I mean Karl has put up with and won like 4 lawsuits at this point, AND has Notch on his side, seriously lol good luck to anyone that wants to try
@@sadderall-xr9094 Bingo. It's like declaring on Sitting Bull or Shaka right after they just got done with a war in Civ 4. Their troop density is *high.*
@@sadderall-xr9094 I'm pretty sure that at this point Karl either has a lawyer on retainer or at least regular contact with one, and possibly has one vet his scripts for these videos before making them for any language or wording that could create openings for legal issues.
Ig lawyers alrdy mustve explained him ages ago@@Moonhermit-
I'm reminded of the phrase:
"I'm not a vet but I know what a dog is"
I'm not a legal professional but I know what a fraud is.
Reminds me of a joke by a comedian, whose name escapes me atm (Edit: Steve Hofstetter) where he says "Look, I don't have a clue how to pilot a helicopter... but if I see the thing in a tree upside down, I feel like I can still look at that and go 'Dude fucked up! It's not supposed to be up there!'"
I play a legal professional on tv.
My version was always:
"Look, I'm not an architect, but I can see the Tower of Pisa is as crooked as a politician"
@@DopeioThePhoneBoi It was Steve Hofstetter, it was about parenting and how the "You don't know how hard it is to have a child" crowd needs to get off their high horses
@@DopeioThePhoneBoi yeah, and the joke keeps going, with the pilot saying "you got no right to complain, you don't know how to drive a helicopter". Which also works here because jirard's fanboys say that to karl
Jirard: You accused me of embezzlement!
Karl: Actually I didn't, but since you just admitted to spending directed donations on your business expenses, now I am.
This part gave me the same satisfaction of hearing “it’s not a pyramid scheme, it’s multi-level marketing!”
That felt so nice
So not only is he a fraud, but an idiot as well
@@MorningStarMidnightSun Man people saying that line ain't making it better since MLM is MUCH WORSE than a pyramid scheme.
@@yuiheron2880 but it's them admitting it's a scheme
I can't stand it when the internet calls this "drama".
It's not drama, it's holding scum accountable.
Yes!!!
It might even be "investigative journalism"
So far i see no criminal investigation. Videos are worthless, people will forget everything 2 months later and Jirard will continue to steal money.
@@CorruptLogick If it keeps a few people from donating to this scam it's already worth it
I think when there's strong evidence of crimes with real victims involved and trying to aid those affected, it's ridiculous to call it drama at that point. As if it's somehow comparable to idle gossip about So-and-so just being a meanie.
His apology had "Im sorry you think I did something wrong" energy.
It's literally what he said lol
@@stompingpeak2043True, but if he wrote an honest comment, he probably wouldn’t have been able to use his trendy braindead internet slang..
Narc coded
It's the go to response of narcissistic and guilty people. They cannot admit fault no matter the evidence against them. It's extremely frustrating.
My oldest sister is just like him. Literally stole money from a our sibling who passed away and when I got angry at what she had done, I was the bad guy and I was even told “sorry you think I did something wrong”
Anyway when my nephew and niece are adults, I will tell them their loving aunty is the reason they have no inheritance left and will direct them to the police to seek action.
>Jirard on the Discord call: I didn't embezzle any charity money, I don't want people thinking I embezzled charity money
>Karl & Muta: ok cool, no worries, we aren't saying you embezzled charity money
>Jirard later: oh by the way, I embezzled charity money
He had too narrow a definition of embezzlement, that's practically some Amber Heard level shit lol
😂😂
Just the fact alone he changes his side of the story tells you he cannot be trusted and that he is indeed guilty.
Him posting his mother's autopsy as evidence that he wasn't committing fraud was one of the most manipulative things I've ever seen
To be fair, I heard that some idiots on reddit were claiming he made the part about his mother's death up. I don't go on that cesspool of a site so I can't confirm, but sounds about right.
TBF to him, many were outright questioning the veracity of his propagated narrative regarding the conditions surrounding his mother's very demise, suggesting that he simply fabricated the whole thing.
@@thrace_bot1012uhh, you don't need to post your own mother's autopsy report and it isn't warranted at all? Just post an obituary or something, Jesus.
Then you take it on the chin. He knows how his mom passed. You don't post your mom's autopsy results.. that's tasteless and classless. Some things need to be kept secret. His response is awful. The whole thing is awful. I hope he fucks off
It seems like most of that "apology video" was him replying to the outrageous claims of the comment section rather than Karl and Mutahar's videos lol. I saw tons of comments like "You know his mom isn't even dead, I've met her and she's collecting interest on the 600k" which is probably why he posted it. Either way, Jirard still sucks.
"Anyways, my mother is dead. Here's her death certificate."
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
exactly!
LOL
Jirard: So...Do I still have to pay what I owe you?
Sir, this is a boats selling company.
😂😂😂
I love how Karl puts in 30 clips of Jirard for every claim he makes just to absolutely squash any doubt
I love this brand of not-a-single-smidge-of-doubt-left overkill when thoroughly destroying an argument. Reminds me of YMS's video on the Kimba the White Lion vs. The Lion King plariagism controversy
This is the way my Ewok.
shame that karl’s logic, reasoning, and understanding of the law is super shaky
@@asyashi_ No he stays pretty objective and only states the facts while providing tons of evidence including Jirards own statements contradicting himself. It's as objective as it gets
@@squeet0 it doesn’t matter how objective he is if he’s incorrect, karl does not understand how charities or how the laws around charity works and he did a very bad job of researching it
The most depressing part about this whole ordeal is the number of 30+ year old adults, usually aspiring gaming TH-camrs with 2,000 subs and names like "Dan's Gaming" go to battle for Jirard because they wanted to cuddle up to a well connected game industry insider. It ties perfectly into Karl's comments about how if they aren't affected by Jirard's behavior, they don't care.
It's always fascinating how some people will immediately board a sinking ship.
Jirard: "I refuse to let you guys accuse me of embezzlement and using my mother's death to commit charity fraud"
Karl: "I didn't actually do that, but since you brought it up..."
It’s called a Freudian slip, he mentioned embezzlement cause he knew he was guilty of it and he was getting ahead of it by admitting to it but he didn’t even realize he was admitting to it when bringing it up.
A statement analyst would call that statement an admission.
@@matthewmitchell2760 oh absolutely I was just commenting on why he mentioned embezzlement when Karl’s videos didn’t include any mention of embezzlement but he knows subconsciously he did it so it slipped out in his rants in his video. He is definitely angry he got caught.
@@yokaidigital3033yeah he tried to get ahead of it by mentioning it, but ended up accidentally admitting to embezzlement
Exactly. Jirard KNEW he was guilty as fuck and is trying to get ahead of it 😂
That’s not the rage of a man sticking up for his family. That’s the rage of a man who was mad that he got caught.
Not even the rage of a man that got caught. The rage of a man that was forced to go and donate his retirement scheme money.
looks like an arab - lies like an arab
And he’s fat.
…and stupid enough to continually contradict himself. What a clown.
@@flogcsiddrater3251cringe
The absolute balls on this dude to threaten legal action against a guy that even Silly Bitchell and all _his_ resources couldn't take down. The funny thing about saber rattling is that, eventually, someone's going to call your bluff.
this is not your typical slander either, this is a federal crime we're talking about. A public prosecutor might actually be interested in looking into this and demanding the books to be opened.
If I was this guy Id start looking up lists of non-extradition countries.
Silly Bitchell is my new favorite nickname for billy now
are you sazing that its all fun and games until someone tips off the IRS? Maybe they should take a second look at their filings...
You know what they say. Gotta know when t hold them, know when to fold them, and know when to lie out your ass that you won despite everyone's cards being on the table.
Wait, no, that quote doesn't seem right.
That one commenter highlighted in the video saying "Jirard pulling up with full receipts, legal documentation ... etc", really goes to show the problem with so many people on the internet. Dude just full on assumed all of the documents Jirard linked were relevant to the situation and covered his ass, without actually looking at or at the very least properly interpreting any of them. Way too many people are prone to just hearing something and being like "yep, that fits my worldview so, it checks out" without ever validating any of it.
Many of Jirard's fans just wanted him to not be guilty of charity fraud, and so when he did literally nothing more than say "I'm not guilty", to them it confirmed their bias, and they were all like "see??". And unfortunately this is an all too common phenomenon.
Very accurate observation. That's been all to much a serious problem in today's society. And the media train people to be like that. Which then makes it impossible to have a fact-finding discussion
I agree, but to some extent you could say the same about Karl's video. Most of us aren't gonna follow up on the evidence one way or the other beyond what we're served by these youtubers. That's why these things should be handled in court, where lawyers and judges can actually spend time going over all the evidence, arguing back and forth in an environment that is set up for that, and come to the truth.
To be clear I absolutely believe Karl in this situation, he makes good points and completionist's video had many red flags and signs of manipulative behaviour, but at the end of the day, getting spoonfed information by either side isn't gonna lead to a satisfying conclusion in situations like these
This is why charities take pictures of themselves handing over comically large cheques.
Seriously. On film
Photo evidence
I had no idea but that makes so much sense 😭
Well...sort of, but not really. Those photos/media are mainly for marketing and growing brand awareness (source: worked in marketing and regular fundraising for charities). It's an extremely effective publicity event. I'm not saying that's bad. Bringing more awareness to a good charity is a great thing. I'm just pointing out that charities do this for marketing purposes, not because it proves they're actually donating the money (a symbolic check that can't actually be cashed isn't, in itself, proof of anything).
@maxleveladventures they should let you cash those big checks tho. imagine showing up to a bank with a big ass check. the faces of the tellers when you try to pass the check through the little window 😂
If I had a nickel everytime Jirard says his mother died with dementia, I would have around 655 000$ in my bank account.
lol
Touché sir
It would also be a very unusual way to make money ;)
that put at huge smile on my face, thank you!
Weird that it happened a thousand times
He donated his mother's body parts? Wow that is so charitable! I mean he could have kept them for himself.
mid-night snack
And this point I wouldn't be surprised if he would have wanted to sell them on the black market instead
Could have kept the vagina for repeated usage.@@MrPuckpunk
lol nice one
To be fair, donating the organs of peopel suffering from illnesses and diseases is a real practice. And you don't get paid for it, at least I don't think so.
The reason it's not SUPER common is that people don't like that their loved ones aren't as whole as possible when they bury them. Same reason we don't like our loved ones to not be buried at all.
Its not really an indication of someones moral character either way though. At least in this scenario. Assuming his mother didn't want her body donated, which most people dont, him donating them is about as morally ambiguous as you can get.
As someone who has just lost her mother only months ago, Jirards actions make me sick. I genuinely cannot fathom how you could do this to your mother memory. It makes my skin crawl. Karl Im so sorry for the loss of your parents. Its some of the worst pain you can go through I hope you are doing well. Thank you for making this video.
All the best to you, I'm sure she was lovely and raised a lovely child!
Forget about doing something like this to the memory of your mother, I couldn't imagine doing something like this to sully the memory of anyone, regardless of how much I like or dislike them. I guess some people have respect for fellow man, and some people don't.
On a second note, I wish you well, and I'm sorry about your mother. I know it hurts to lose someone so close to you.
One thing the Certified Gaming Accountant points out that you guys miss is that the "revenue" part of the Tax form is supposed to be the TOTAL taken in, not the net. I.e. it's supposed to be the total moneys recieved, and later down in the tax form is supposed to outline expenses. So if this was done correctly, the "revenue" part of the form should be much higher, and any "expenses" should be shown further down on the form, not as part of the total revenue number. People seem to think the "revenue" part at the top of the tax form is Jirard's profit less expenses, but it's supposed to be the total taken in *before* calculating expenses. And then expenses are supposed to be listed later and subtracted from the total revenue to get the final "profits" or collected amount.
Therefore the Golf money, the Indieland money, and ALL the bits, tshirt sales, everything should be listed in "revenue" before listing expenses later in the form. That's why Jirard's explanation that expenses are why the revenue number is lower makes no sense.
plz upvote so Karl sees this.
Also that tax form has them getting 0.00 interest on hundreds of thousands... How did they specially in last year find that bad account to keep money in.
Thats exactly what i thought all the time. It just dont make sence in jirards explenation. The IRS really should take a look at this...
That's what I thought as soon as he said he used the bits, etc to "offset" the expenses. Like, dude, you're supposed to put that shit on your TAX FILINGS.
The IRS… not the folks you want to mess with… just ask Al Capone
@or the joker
Karl Jobst out here collecting lawsuits from idiots. 🤣
This could be a new job 😂
His lawyers are going to get so rich off of dumb people
Also collecting money from the idiots funding his "gofundme" for these "expensive lawsuits!"
morons don't see y'all also getting scammed.
Considering all of the stuff with billy mitchel, just the lawsuits between billy and jirard could create a full length netflix special on its own.
He's now gonna get sued by two beardos. Que manscaped sponsorship.
That discord-call was exactly like seeing a criminal breaking down in front of two cops.
Thats hilarious 😂
I feel very vindicated because I've always gotten red flags from Jirard. Earlier this year for example on the Question Box podcast I remember him admitting that he buys strangers/acquaintances expensive gifts as a way to earn their friendship. Sketchy.
Karl calling Jirard a pathetic bitch is everything I needed today
Him calling Jirard garbage was it for me :)
I had to pause and take a min after that one. Like, DAMN.
Yeah the gloves are off now.
@@TheKhakiNinjaaaaaah spoilers, people! I want to be flabbergasted unimpeded! Lolol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 sad but true
Jirard saying they used money for other expenses then Karl playing an entire 3 minutes of Jirard saying they never were gonna do that is just pure gold lol.
I don't understand what's the point of a golf charity event if all money raised is going to cover expenses. Where's the charity? You got a free event? What's the goal here?
@@vdochev, embezzlement. lol
@@vdochevThe goal is to get Jirard attention and more followers, he couldn't care less about the charity money.
@@vdochev if not straight up ebmezzlement, then at least doing something performative to feel better about yourself and pretend that you care.
Sweet lord the absolute monster burn. I cringed so hard during that sequence of clips
This is why I donate the money myself. Never donate charity to a group of people who claim to be the "middle-man" between you and the charity.
Exactly
It sure was nice of him to clearly and repeatedly state for the cameras that ALL of the money from subs, bits AND donations goes to charity and they dont touch ANY of it. There was almost some plausible deniability by just saying "it goes towards charity." Wouldnt want a prospective jury to get lost in the semantics. Thanks Jirad!
Everyone: Get a spine and admit to what you've done.
Him: here's my dead mother's spine...
He donated the mother away?
I'll be going to hell for laughing at that...
@@qennen Only thing he donated until he got caught and publicly exposed.
@@Animize In most situations, you might think this, and many people would agree. In this situation, however, I think most people will turn the other cheek, since Jirard has been spreading his mother's name - and potentially ashes(unlike Jirard, I never misled people into thinking I'm nice _or_ above humor that's in bad taste) - everyone he could over the past decade.
To be fair, we never said it had to be his own spine...
In all actuality, Jirard wasn't lying when he said the money was going to go to families affected by a loved one with dementia. He just never clarified that his family was the only one!!
That's textbook charity fraud, regardless
This is it
Funny but 'specifically those families with a loved one that has just been diagnosed'
Not deceased for a decade.
@@LudwigVaanArthans It's a joke.
I never thought of that. The money goes directly to families affected by dementia. OMG he was talking about his own!
“What a pathetic bitch” I couldn’t help but laugh 😂 let’s go Karl!!❤
This line, for some reason, is why I keep coming back to this vid.
I left a like on the video bc of that lmao

"😭😭😭 Don't forget to zip it up when ur done lil bro" -☝️🤓
Stop projecting your own fetishes lil bro.
its almost unbelievable that Karl is Australian based on the lack of "cunt" in his vocabulary sometimes...
Just remember, if he DOES sue you that means court is gonna need ALL the paperwork, including where the golf money came from
He flat out lied for 10 years, all of a sudden donated 600k, a FRACTION, of what he collected, then admits to embezzlement, crying of costs and expenses when for 10 years he stated they took nothing, everything went to charity. What a sick bastard.
Sociopathic/Narcissistic personality disorder trait, a big thing with performers
@@dilbot1512The fact you can reflect on yourself means you probably aren't a narcissist, but don't stop having that mentality. Always ask yourself if you are doing the right thing because it's always better to stop before making a mistake than to continue doing wrong thinking you're in the right.
Sociopath is a strong word, Keemstar has sociopathic traits but somebody so outwardly performative and famous/rich who who then gets exposed as a money hungry piece of shit, will often have a form of narcissism, this goes from influencers to "flamboyant" gangsters like John Gotti, killed for the attention he kept bringing because he couldn't keep out of the paper
And I'm referring to everything Jirard did here, not just a TH-cam who legitimately made a mistake
everyone knows that well known non-profits only donate like 5% at most of what they receive to their cause. the rest lines pockets. non profit =\= no money made.
Susan G koman foundation is egregious for it. they barely give money to breast cancer, it goes to
"operating costs" aka the upper brass who run it, its not embezzlement if its their salary.
where he messed up is he lied for years about it, with no fine print laid out anywhere about the money usage.
It's hard to top a fanbase who thinks "trust me bro" is the greatest receipt of all time.
"guys, he played all my favorite Zelda games - he *has* to be a good guy."
To be fair I was seeing a lot more backlash to this and anything else the Completionist was doing in response. Like I don't deny there's still defenders, but at least from what I have seen they're easily the minority.
Yeah it sucks there's any at all, but I was happy to at least see a lot of responding on his own reddit and his own communities that treated this with the severity it deserves.
@@skrin1962 AHHHHHH you beat me to it bahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow
You know 5 second clips taken out of context does not show what actually happened right? Carl is a drama youtuber going after a charity that literally donated every cent... So he's just trying to ruin Jirad and his family at this point with slander.
The worst thing he could do is take this to court; the discovery phase would be extremely incriminating, and he's doing nothing but saber-rattling, obviously
Jirard's response makes me think of Rick and Morty where Rick sarcastically says "I'm *sorry* you *think* you deserve an apology"
It's alarming how quickly he uses his deceased mother anytime he needs donations or is caught doing something possibly illegal. That's pretty gross to be honest.
To mention that her body parts were donated to science is unnecessary, and weird that he thinks it's even relevant to the accusations
I wouldn't worry too much, he's working with lawyers to take legal action against you, just like how he was working with all those charities.
I think Karl would welcome some sort of civil case it opens up for discovery. Threatening someone in the middle of civil case and then find out he's excited because he knows he can dunk on you shows how little they thought that threat out.
Huh?
That just means that in about 10 years he might take legal action😏
Brutal lol
@@brosephbisuke1554only if some calls him out for not doing it in 10 years lol
At 26:44 i nearly cried from laughing so hard. Hearing Carl state that fact in his monotone calming voice made my day
Same 😂
What's scary is if not for the efforts of Karl, Muta and the backlash. Jirard would've continued scamming people and robbing them of their money. Jirard is a complete scumbag.
"I wanna do right by you guys" became "I'm gonna sue the fuck out of you" real quick
No kidding. He turned to Jello when he was looking his accusers in the eye, and became a tuff-guy when he wasn't. Dishonest and spineless.
New Speed Run? Sue any %, glitches & skips allowed?
@MrJeremyMagic He could've shaved a few minutes off if he had just gone straight to threatening to sue instead of "apologizing" lmao
@@xtremeboy3606 Sue any % apology-less
He wanted to silence them, they wouldn't go for it, so now he wants to threaten them into silence.
Too bad Completionist is barely a warm-up for someone who covers the Courtroom Loser of the Century.
"what a pathetic bitch" LOL no holding back on this absolutely top shelf savage decimation, well done Karl
There’s something so satisfying about always calm and collected Karl calling someone a pathetic BITCH
I'm very proud that Karl said exactly what I wanted to say to Jirard.
There’s something so satisfying about always calm and collected Karl calling someone a pathetic B!TCH
Rewinded the video like 5 times just for that satisfactory F U Jirard.
I absolutely love how Karl is very polite and reserved 100% of the time, up until his opponent crosses the line of common sense and stupidity.
After it happens, Karl will just destroy him with zero f-cks given
There is no way Im watching this only to find out you have also lost both your parents. My mom died when I was 16 and my dad killed himself last May. Thank you for living Karl, because I certainly understand how hard that can be. You really are, and Absolute Legend.
Damn, I'm so sorry to hear that. What had you father fall into despair, that really blows. I dread but must accept the fact that I will outlive my Mother and my father has passed, but I Felt like my father fell into despair as well (Died to Cirrhosis, caused by Alcohol abuse)
I'm so sorry to hear that. My condolences. Thank you for living as well. I know it is and will always be painful, but time and friends help the healing, and it will get better, if even slightly.
Yeah, I lost my dad at 10, and my mom at 18. Life's really harsh to some of us, but it's still worth living. Thank you for living, Brenden
Sorry to hear. My mum took her own life when I was 11. Now my dad is at end stage heart failure. He's only 52. My mum was 28 and I've lived longer she did. Jirard is a piece of shit.
I’m thinking about you and hoping everything is going well. 🙏
His apology isn't an apology at all.
Pay attention to the language used. He's angry he got caught & at those who exposed him.
Same vibe as "sorry you _feel_ I hurt you" not "I'm sorry I hurt you."
He apologized for you not believing his lies.
Always assume the worst, guilty until proven innocent am I right? You only commented because...*Something about how your a bad person*. Am I doing this right?
@@GAHAHAHHgood thing the guilty until proven innocent was practically done by this point
This open hand scandal is disgusting on so many levels.
1. Charity lies about donating money that it raised
2. Charity claims to fight disease that killed a immediate loved one but actually does nothing
3. Threatens legal action against those who call them out
That's most charities, unfortunately.
@@vyrve what? those are not charity's then, they are scams
not just a loved one, but his MOTHER. like wtf?
@vyrve no, thats not most charities, my family worked extremely close with a large charity for children, they do not embezzle funds and lie about donating money. Most if not all charities do not do this, because its illegal and immoral.
@Doktario_Mystario The guys comment is probably right. Think of all the charities you know, and then consider all the small ones you don't. Most charities probably aren't using the money wisely since they're very small, but if he said major charities thatd be somethin different. I'm sure while there's a lot of honest good charities big and small, I bet there's plenty dummy charities for money laundering and scams.
His mother died from the disease ... his fucking mother. He is using the memory of his dead mother to steal money.
People trying to defend this guy by saying that "he seemed so nice" have to remember that being nice and being good are not the same thing.
people would do good to remember Boogie also seemed like a nice person at first.
In the words of Little Red Riding-hood in Into the Woods “Nice is different than good”
Yeah, tell em Fluttershy
Everyone shows niceness because no one wants to have issues a persona you see for a short time when they know the camera is rolling
@@D0NU75 and he played a "character"
I always love the fact Karl will never back down to bullies
The montage of him saying "bits and subs" went from funny to sad to funny to sad to funny... Karl knew what he was doing with that bit lasting so long.
If this guy sets up a GoFundMe for his legal action, then Karl had better watch out for a hastily put together defamation suit in about ten years time.
I mean, fools would do what the other fool does. Here's a thing about fraudsters and embezzler: They will never learn anything from the other cases. the greatest example is someone who had 4 years power in America and his lackeys.
"Hastily" XD
LMAO
Not before he gets called out by 45 year old Muta and Karl for not using the money to use Karl
ahahahahahahaha
"I'm sorry that when discussing your multiple examples of committing charity fraud i said the open hand tax filings weren't signed"
HARDEST LINE
Im glad someone said it lol
"Jirard, what is your response to these allegations"
Jirard: First, my mother is dead!
Crazy to think that this statement perfectly fits to describe politicians: "This is about raising awareness that this type of people exist. There are people out there who don't care if people lie. They don't care if the audience is manipulated and abused, as long as they are within this small group who ultimately benefits. You need to be very wary of those who comes with a smile, because they are not always genuine, and if you are not careful, you will eventually fall victim."
Jirard's apology boiled down to, "I'm sorry you felt misled." Textbook legal talk to not admit guilt.
Exactly! It’s not saying “I’m sorry for what I did” and admitting that you messed up. It’s saying “I’m sorry you feel that way” and trying to shift blame to your audience. Jirard is trying to get public approval for “apologizing” without admitting any wrongdoing.
More like textbook narcissism
@@experssion123as if most YT personalities aren’t on some level narcissistic. Though dirtbags like this are on another level. The criminal level.
Yup "I'm sorry YOU feel" is instant bullshit.
@@michaelrupert8836Of course, an admission of guilt would be legally actionable, that's why corporations always make non-apologies whenever they get called out for deceptive practices

Iconic and underrated comment.
Not my joke but "I would rate this drama *donate it* "
Super underrated comment.
Karl really goes for the head, he learned from the avengers mistake.
What really pisses me off is how in that discord call Jirard tries to play the victim and appeal to you by painting this narrative that he was innocent and had no idea what was going on but also simultaneously talks down to you and Mutahar by acting like you’re just drama channels that’ll paint whatever narrative suits you guys best, even though that demonstrably isn’t how you guys operate. It’s like he’s being sabotaged by his own ego.
Its a common thing with big creators they think TH-camrs like Karl and muta are just doing this for money and views because that's how a lot of TH-camrs like jirard operate like that so they think every creator does
@@naruto199797 Karl and Muta ARE doing this for money and views though, that's how TH-cam works. Look at all the sponsorships they're taking on these videos.
@@MicaiahBaron what sponsorships?
@@MicaiahBaron Except that in his second video about Jirard, he made it clear that those ads help support him financially as the only breadwinner of his house so like Jirard, he also has a family to support except Karl's more open to his advertisement as he informed why he included ad monetization which BTW wasn't in the first video about him.
@@MicaiahBaronIf you never work on yt then don't comment it. Karl literally make less money from the first Jirad video than he gained that he have to use ad so he could at least gained that said money back
Billy Mitchel has been training you to fight defamation lawsuits for years now. If Jirard sues you, you get to finally show Mitchel Sensei all you have learned!
😮

It won't be a hard fight for Karl, the truth is an absolute defence to defamation.
Lmao he won't sue. If he does, Open Hand's books are opened up to discovery. NO WAY his lawyers tell him that's a good idea.
Isn't it funny how Jirard's family is taking legal action so fast, yet when it comes to the donations... nah that can wait 10 years, maybe more
Hope the court postpones it for 10 years :)
@@RetroOnSpeedDial 15 years and puts their charity and bank accounts on hold for the investigation
The worst part about the legal threat, is that even if one were to take all of the defense Jirard laid out in his response video at face value (completely undeserved at this point, of course) he's basically admitted that Karl and Muta were only wrong because they were missing some hidden information about a public charity. That's not disregard for the truth that Jirard asserts in his video, and if the only way to get the missing info is to ask the individuals what's going on, it seems reasonable to ignore what they say after getting contradictory responses.
Haha. I wonder if they're going to use some charity money to hire a lawyer
It is genuinely very sad to see a former extremely admirable TH-cam legend like Jirard just murder his career and legacy on TH-cam like that. Just sad.
But how dumb must you be to think no one would notice the money never going anywhere?
Didn't know about him until the controversy. He deserves it. Using his dead mother for money is sick.

imagine what could've been achieved in the 10 years the money wasn't donated. its such a shame
People automatically forgiving a guy who spent 9 years "searching for the right organization" and then got called out and got it done in less than a month baffles me.
What about those people he was “working with”?? This is SO confusing for me still
@@theSato this hasnt even been up long enough for you to have watched it
@@theSatoThe fact that people's money was told to them, would be going to charity, and in fact it WASN'T, is fraud. If I tell you I'm going to do one thing, and then I do the other, that's FRAUD. nevermind the fact that they used donations they said would go to charity for production costs is also FRAUD
@@theSatoI don't know, he did lied about working with organisations and money don't just stay the same if you stockpile it. He actually wasted money because of inflation. I don't think that's right.
And I don't think there's anything wrong with calling people out when they lied. If he couldn't find the right organisations he should have said so and informed the donor of which one he looked at every month
@@theSatofirstly, it would’ve been fine if he’s holding the money to donate it all at once. the massive problem is that he made it clear that he wasn’t going to. he constantly preaches about how the money is going to various organisations when in actuality it goes nowhere. he’s lying with what he’s doing with the money, and that’s definitely not ok.
also, so what if the money was just sitting there? if I take a thousand dollars from u but don’t spend it, am I not a bastard regardless?
No wonder Jirard said "this will be my only response", because he KNEW there was absolutely no response to the inevitable follow up video. Absolutely damning.
Imagine if he does a second response anyway lol
His second response will be one of two things, him suing Muta/Karl or Jirard leaving his channel to go to prison 💀
Otamatone apology video?
@@carlosemilio5180 he won't because he is not able to debunk any of the things karl pointed out, coz they are all true
Jirard's "response" video is now at 19k upvotes vs 60k downvotes... The guy is clearly way out of touch with reality if he thought that video was going to save him. It's funny how scared/desperate he sounds in the Discord call with Karl/Mutahar around 19:57 in the video vs the total façade he puts on in his manipulative response. He has to know he dug himself even deeper into a hole and that nothing he says can save him at this point, but I really hope he puts out another response so the saga can continue and we can watch him fall even further. I got a huge kick out of watching Billy Mitchell's inevitable demise and I'd enjoy watching this guy get wrecked just as much.
I feel like even if he didn't have malicious intent and truly intended to donate the money (which I could believe) he 100% categorically lied and misrepresented what the charity actually does. You don't mistakenly claim your charity is a primary financier by accident. He used PAST tense so couldn't have meant that "he is in talks to be a main financier in the future". If he would just apologize earnestly for misrepresenting and donate the money I feel like he could still move past this.
Saying worst apology ever on the same year as Ukulele girl is wild.
I’ve seen a couple people mention that. I’m genuinely afraid to even ask what that’s all about.
@@anthonyohler2029 Sorry for telling you, but it was about the vlogger/performer/"influencer" Colleen Ballinger. She was accused of acting inappropriate towards her underage fans. Instead of apologizing, she played her ukulele and sang about how all her haters are on a toxic gossip train out to spread lies.
@@renmikandhevaryndaypi At least that was funny.
This is so much worse than any other apology on TH-cam.
Karl Jobst gained so much XP from his dealings with Billy Mitchell that he can now speed run through these lesser fools!
He also gained a lot of money by asking for donations for a lawsuit that was not even real. No indication where that money went and how it was used.
Yeah.... Billy is an Expert Con-Artist who has been doing this for DECADES. Jirad just hoped he could get away with this without anyone noticing, and it all falls apart once he was caught... He had no plan....

Exactly this. I'm disappointed in myself for ever believing the character Jirard played for the cameras

I love how absolute and to the point Karl is. He doesnt candy coat or fall to guilt trips and that's how you have to be to handle people like this
He had a chance to come back from this and apologize and donate the money and maybe throw in some more of his own. He decided instead it was better to ruin his entire career. He didn't just snap back without thinking. He thought for a month and come to the conclusion that this was the best video to make.
I think Asmon said it best: I am sick of actual criminal actions being treated like some youtube drama
it's cos there are many people out there who think "TH-cam" is just another TV reality show, and/or have never spent much time in the real world. I posit that most of Twitter/Reddit's "power users" ie. those who spend all day on the platform, as well as gaming whales, are completely disconnected from real life. Hardly a radical theory, but it's worth remembering. Not everyone is sane.
But this isn’t one of them. Karl said himself, in this video, that this is VERY serious and SHOULD be taken seriously.
This isn’t TH-cam drama.. that’s your perception of it because you’re immature
On the flipside, most of 'drama youtube' treats any perceived shortcomings on the parts of its targets like serious criminal actions, so they occasionally double-misalign themselves into accidentally having a vaguely appropriate level of outrage
You know its a harsh truth when I find myself agreeing with Asmongold.
His "apology" was a thinly veiled excuse to make legal threats. He is a joke

Holy shit, the pure admission of using bits, subs, etc. to "offset production costs" not recalling he had previously said the exact opposite NUMEROUS times.. is just astounding. He has no idea, even in his assuredly lawyer-screened video apology, that he outright admits to embezzlement. My hand was on my mouth the entire second half of the video lmao. Great investigative work.
He’s only sorry because he got caught. He was scamming for years, using his mother’s death to raise free profit, crying and threatening to leave to get the community calling him out

Notice how Karl/Muta originally left out the part of the call where Jirard sounded like he was about to cry about this, showing they were trying to be respectful. But now that he threatened them, the gloves came off
Yeah, it's right around 21:03 in the video. It really says a lot that Karl/Muta chose to respectfully leave that portion of the interview out in past videos, but now Karl just put it out there for everyone to see after Jirard's pathetic response video.
Bro was busting out the master manipulator skills at that part 😂😂
Using your dead mother to get pity in *morbid* detail as to how her organs were treated after her death... ugh. Completely unnecesary.
bro did all that but did not provide a bank statement and financial statements? 😭
I honestly think Jirard added that part because his brother fucked up.
nobody threw the validity of their mother dying to this into question, yet his brother in the initial e-mail stated that they donated body parts, which on it's own is already a weird thing to say.
imagine asking someone where the money goes and you respond with "but we donated body parts!" doesn't look or sound good.
I feel like that part was added specifically to combat that part of the conflict, doesn't only make them look bad, but also weird, Jirard stating that this was his mothers spinal cord+brain makes more sense, although it's not the vocal point of the issue, so it was also something to distract the viewer of what is really happening right now, which both Mutah and Karl are refusing let happen, so Jirard is just screwed, since a lot of people who watch Jirard, also watches either Karl or Mutah, the chances of him being able to shield his viewers from this is very small, hell even smaller twitch streamers are picking it up and discussing it while doing their thing.
They think that means they deserve payment imho.
The Bin Laden of video games
That’s why they call him The Completionist, baby!
Moony has admitted you were right. I checked out his channel.
He is not going to make an apology video but he pinned the apology to his video.
Love watching people get there come upance ✌️
Just got an email that Super Beard Bros is going to continue without any involvement from TOVG and Jirard. Brett, Alex, and Ted are re-launching the show as an independent channel.
Just want to add to this that Alex, Brett, and Ted did indeed relaunch the Beard Bros with new branding but immediately lied about their lack of affiliation with Jirard. Jirard still owns Beard Bros and they took their first opportunity as a "new channel" to lie about it.
jirard on that discord call is truly heartbreaking. just seeing how he acts on there vs his response video puts on display how disingenuous and manipulative he is. who the hell was i watching all these years?
An entertainer, sadly this one turned out to be a bad seed, don't beat yourself over this
These happen time to time
Money corrupts even the best of us and i have seen these kinds of people time to time in last 13 years so it isnt anything new
Now that Jirard (openhand foundation) has donated only indieland money but now where is the golf tournament donation money that is even bigger than indieland donos
exactly, that call is so sad and damning. surprised its not in the comments more.
I'd bet money he let his dad and brother tell him what to say in that apology video too, center-head-of-the-hydra style.
All he did was cry about how bad he's going to look instead of accepting what he did
As someone who has had 2 grandparents suffer and eventually pass from Alzheimer's, this entire situation deeply disturbed and upset me. The fact he won't even put up his hands and say "I messed up, we will make this right", and instead deflefts and has the audacity to threaten yourself and Muta with a lawsuit is just beyond ridiculous. The work you and Muta put in here has not gone unnoticed. The sheer amount of hours you guys put in here to highlight this injustice is greatly appreciated.
He can't admit anything. If he does, he admits to fraud and would get charged..
Look, he is sorry that you felt mislead and that you somehow understood what he said in a way that makes him look bad oj
To be fair, he doesn't really have much of a choice if he wants any chance of avoiding prison time and hefty financial penalties. Charity fraud is a serious crime (at least in the US), and if he actually admitted to it, it'd be an open and shut case against him and his charity. It's messed up, and hopefully won't work, but it's the only course of action he has that isn't guaranteed to end with him in a cell.
What upsets me even more is that he DID PUT HIS HANDS UP AND SAY THAT, to Karl and Muda in that call, but then in his public response he takes it all back and tries to save face.
@@LordOfTheFattiesvery true actually.
At least he wasn't entirely wrong, when he said the funds are going to help the families hit by the disease.. His own family :D

Big thanks to Karl and Muta for donating $600K to dementia research!
Did he actually do that? You think he would have put something about that in the description since it's a sponsored video it would be an appropriate place to send the proceeds but I can't see any mention of that. TH-camrs typically make $20-$30 per 1000 views and since this video has ~1.5 million views that's a low estimate ~$30'000 not to mention there are other videos made on this.
If these accusations turn out to be incorrect, that is a lot of money to make off of false accusations not to mention the damage to reputation and wasting of time and money having to defend against the accusations. Even if they are correct this should be taken to the authorities not complained about publicly. After a verdict is reached in or outside of the court then people are free to give commentary on the situation provided they were not specifically barred from doing so as part of a court order and provided that what they are saying is either pure facts or an opinion that could not possible be misinterpreted as fact.
You comment for example could be misinterpreted as a fact but I think most people would know that it's meant to be an opinion where you believe the money would only have been donated because of the accusations.
@GAHAHAHH It's a joke. Earlier after this video came out, Jerard finally donated 600k because of the backlash
@@cheesewrap I basically said that I already knew that in my comment "I think most people would know that it's meant to be an opinion where you believe the money would only have been donated because of the accusations"
Also donating all the money at once like that isn't always the best option it would take too long to explain the economics behind that here but you really forced their hands on this matter, so congratulations I guess.
@@GAHAHAHH what you on about dude? it a fact that if mutah and karl havent found out about this, jirard wouldn't've donated at all and force their hands? he held that money for 10yrs he had time to donated it in segment he didnt simple as that and only did it because of the backlash and even legal repercussion of charity fraud
hardly a opinion these 2 are the reason why jirard was force to donate the money period
@@dr.vegapunk5853 That's not a fact that's speculation. And even if it was true, donating money and forcing money that was already planned to be donated to be donated in a more timely manner are not the same thing.

A conditional apology; the ultimate non-apology.
