When we did Omegle videos at SkyMedia I remember raising concern about a fan who was cosplaying as jinbop (main victim). The omegle videos, I believe this is where he started his close interactions with fans. Also Jin was fired after an argument broke out and almost turned physical about I kid you not whether you could play Super Smash bros for fun. Jin on the way out of the building fuming kicked the wall. That, along with a lot of verbal threats, he would 'jokingly' make to us. I absoluted hated forcing myself to be his friend during those years. Also the footage used for me made me laugh and I thought was perfect
@@TumultuousTiger what are you even talking about? He never mentioned anyone specifically aside from Jin? He’s not spreading any allegations of any kind
@@TumultuousTiger if you are 21 years old in 2023 then you were 11 years old or younger when you met him, seeing as his channel started in 2013. Even if you weren't a fan, how would it be any better for a 21 year old man to be talking to an 11 year old? how is it alright for a 24 year old to have a 14 year old "friend" editing his videos for him?
I've been a 14 year old girl, you always have crushes on older men/women and see nothing wrong with dating them. I'm currently 22 and the idea of being involved with an honest to god child is sickening.
as a current 14 year old, with the internet being what it is its probably more dangerous than it was when you were 14. more anonymity, less consequences. ive had people try to prey on my naïveté, and tbh these kinds of videos are huge lifesavers. ive learned to bec careful around those older than i am, watch for signs of grooming, beware warnings from those around you while simultaneously being skeptical of everything. its always a fine line to walk
@@6Shots_ofEspresso I was 14 in 2014,so while I did have some internet access I didn't have much of an online presence thanks to 1) limited social media 2) my obsession with a horse trading game and 3)my parents rules surrounding the internet. It's really scary that you can recognise people have tried to take advantage of you because of your age, I know it sucks to hear but your brain isn't fully developed until youre 25 and I honestly feel like I'm still not mature enough to make a lot of decisions. Kids your age shouldn't be policing your own relationships on the look out for predators, it's the adults in your life and in these relationship who should be keeping you safe and measuring what is and isn't appropriate. When I was younger bad things on the internet were easy to spot, everyone knows the joke of looking up my little pony videos and ending up watching a beheading video. You'd see something bad and know it was bad, but on today's internet dangers are really sneaky and hidden especially predators, which makes it harder for kids to protect themselves. I'm glad youre watching these videos and learning to keep yourself safe, but it's terrifying that you have to
It's not super surprising. Back then it was musicians and actors, and now it's internet influencers. Unless it's something super egregious (e.g., kids that identify themselves as 'adult attracted minors' outright), it isn't shocking for a minor to have feelings for an older person that they idolize. That's why child safeguarding is important, and why you need adults to be the 'bigger people' and shutdown said advances.
9:25 "JinBop didn't want to just be known as the guy that plays with SkyDoesMinecraft" You know, if I had a dollar for every time a gaming TH-camr tried to strike it out on their own from their popular gaming group, only to get exposed as being a pedophile and a generally awful person later, I'd have 2 dollars. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
@@keadraws Mini Ladd is the second one I was referencing. Funny enough (well, maybe not 'funny' in the traditional way), both JinBop and Mini Ladd were basically just generic gaming TH-camrs propped up by their more interesting friends/associates. I never watched either, but from comments I saw, Mini Ladd's jokes never really added much to the rest of the group. And as for JinBop, as Toastify says, JinBop's content was super generic and trying to parrot what was popular for the time (e.g., Minecraft). So that's another similarity they share.
@A Cop Killa not really, they're just japanese cartoons for japanese kids. like you'd watch spongebob as a kid, japanese kids would watch sailor moon for example
For me this is just my daily routine, I have sexual trauma from online predators and watching videos of them being caught and punished makes me feel a little bit better that something can be done about the mass amount of predators online
I feel bad for the victim she makes posts alluding to him and when asked about him her only response was “grimace shake” she honestly believes this is all funny but my heart hurts for her. She being used and she can’t even see it and that’s something I can relate to too much. I hope one day she wakes up from him and realizes what he’s done to her.
I hope so too. She apparently keeps stating how it's her choice whenever someone bring it up. If she does eventually realizes and leaves him, I hope no one harasses her for it because Jinbop really screwed with her mentally.
As of right now, him and his victim are actually still in a "relationship". I can only hope his victim wisens up to what he actually did to her and gets away as soon as possible.
Sadly it doesn't seem like that will happen, they kept trying to argue back with the people calling them a victim and saying that they "aren't a victim" and that it's their own life and they can make their own choices and such.
Funny story, my girlfriend now was her best friend in middleschool, I literally heard Jinbop on the phone talking about his Baldurs gate 3 save last october
I know the victim, went the middle school and highschool with her and I’m still kind of friends with her. The letters he sent were real, he’d send them to a friend of his and that friend showed them to her, she showed me while we were in class and would brag about it . I remember talking to Jin before he got arrested, one time I was in her room getting changed to go in her pool and she just never hung up the Skype calls, like 24/7 Skype calls with him and he messaged me saying disgusting stuff he wanted to do with me. My group of friends have sat down with her many times about how strange it was but she continued to talk to him anyway. When he was flying to Michigan he was staying at a hotel close to my dad’s house and tried to get me to spend the night with him. I blocked him shortly after and then he got arrested. Between the friend group he talked to at least 3 other girls including the real victim. Recently I hung wih her like last year and she called him while I was driving with her and it was really really weird. I love her and cherish her as a friend but this situation is still the craziest thing for her.
I knew one of the other girls he was talking to, he’s now a trans male and we aren’t friends anymore but he was groomed too. When I found out about all this fallout I messaged him and he said that they were “really in love” and that they (Jin and the victim) are still together. It was really difficult to hear that
@@Arelated Predators tend to chose fields where they know they'll have easy access to preys. In the case of pedos they'll often choose teaching, church, counselling, entertainement industry at large and, in the blessed technological year of 2023 youtube kids content.
I loved skydoesminecraft. I never watched any of the other creators he played with other than Ross and aphmau but it is still really sad seeing someone you watched as a child be exposed for horrible things like this. I hope his victims recover and live happy lives.
J Aubrey has a good video on SkyDoesMinecraft and their fall from grace. If you don’t want to watch it, that’s entirely okay. Your mental health is important! I’m a former fan of SDM too and it hurt when I found out what they did.
@@Santancoin Both were awful, the custody battle over their son showed that specifically about her. She left the child at her mother's house to go all the way to the UK to help KSI make a rap against Sky. Providing info leading to a line about sky and self harm. She ended up losing custody because she was dumb enough to be in the rap video with illegal substances present. Sky on the other hand won custody, for his rap had him do drugs where it was legal.
Oh, so that popular guy ended up being an a-hole as well? Me and my gut instincts when it came to popular people seem to unfortunately ring true again, as much as I hate it. Some say power reveals the true nature of people, while others claim absolute power corrupts people absolutely. The way I see it, the importance lies in how the one seeking it sees said power. One thing however is certain: *_Power does not equal strength of character. Many think gaining it is an easy fix to their own weakness, when in reality pursuit for strength is a path laid out in thorns._*
I saw on a video from Tom Dark, Turkey Tom's secondary channel, that he seems to have reconnected with his victim online and they still have a romantic relationship, but now she's a legal adult so nothing can be done about it.
yeah i saw that as well, i didn't wanna add it here because i think it'd be too personal for the girl herself since i've heard that she doesn't take kindly to being messaged about this whole situation at all
Actually, Jin didn't leave Sky's office for creative differences or the deal with his channel being bought by Sky (like Ross), he was fired. A video uploaded by Mithzan (Max) named Taboo, is a video about Max and Ross (YourPalRoss, formerly House Owner) sharing their experiences in the office (though originally it was about their fears.) At the end of the video, Max reveals that Jin was fired cause he threw a fit about Smash Bros. I'm not even joking. For context, Jin was very competitive, and anytime someone talked about smash in the office, he would rage because "smash competitive ruined his life and can only be played competitively." Because of this, their was an unoffical rule in the office that no one is allowed to talk about smash bros at all. However during a recording session, someone accidentally mentioned the game. Jin acted normally during recording but once that was done, he got out of his office, kicked a pillar and threw a fit. Sky immediately fired him after that. Apperently Jin had been hired and fired a bunch before the ultimate firing so he didn't take his final firing seriously until he found out that Sky wasn't going to hire him back, in which, he was very mad. I highly recommend people go watch that video as not only does Max and Ross shed light on what Sky did to them during their years working there, but it also reveals Jin's true personality outside of recording and streams before being fired. He was very cocky and one time left Ross and Tim stranded in an IHOP after work (Who at the time, didn't own a car) and they both had to end up calling Alisa (Sky's then wife and mother of their first kid) to go pick them up.
@@404EncrytedError You can feel bad for shitty people, but apologizing for their actions and even trying to defend them is horrific. You're only human.
It genuinely bring tears to my eyes for loving creators like Jinbop and sky, obviously it’s none of the fans’ faults for being fans, especially bc we didn’t know anything off camera, but I still feel bad for liking them
I don’t think you should feel bad for liking them before knowing about their horrid reality. There’s no way we could know about these things until they came out.
@@johnathanchan6590 He did a lot, and there’s plenty of videos that explain it better than I do, but he was bipolar, he had SA’d people, and he was ab*sive and manipulative to multiple people, including Alesa(I’m pretty sure)
Unbelievable, this is so hard to digest to the point that I had to stare at my monitor for a while just to process the fact that the FBI did something for once.
Usually we ask questions like "why didn't the FBI do anything sooner?" and "why did they post this on social media instead of going to the police?" Not only did they actually go to the police instead of just posting DMs on Twitter, law enforcement actually properly investigated and caught the guy without him even knowing he was on their radar. Things actually worked out how they're supposed to for once.
I wouldn't believe the prison statement about JinBop telling a different story. Some prisons allow other inmates to "pull papers", and almost universally, inmates cannot stand sexual predators of minors. Edit: Pulling papers means finding out why they actually got arrested
^ this iirc those convicted of any kind of child sex crimes have by far the highest mortality rate of those incarcerated in the States, even if it wasn't explicitly worthy of getting someone on the Registry. Unless nobody thought to ask, I doubt that no one considered looking into it further
He could’ve gone to a federal prison (which from my understanding has more security, more rules, and usually for nonviolent offenders). Although they still wouldn’t want anything to do with somebody like him in there, the worst they can do in there is just threaten or ostracize people like him. But any sort of physical violence is usually not tolerated.
@@Jkd_77 He did go to a federal prison, a minimum security one. The only reason why he's not dead is that min security inmates usually are coming close to the end of their sentence (within the next 10 years) and would rather not get time added to their sentence and/or moved to a higher security prison for harming/killing a chomo. Most chomos are kept in minium security for this reason and would often have their own pod, away from the other inmates. If he was sent to a maximum security prison, he would most likely be dead since most of those inmates are serving life or very long sentences where getting time added onto their sentence doesn't mean a thing. Also, the feds does have a lot more violent prisoners than you might think and are found in higher security prisons (USP's and Supermax). Source: I've been watching alot of Larry Lawton lately.
I remember watching Jinbop on Aphmaus channel, and then when everyone stopped appearing. But Jinbop never really came back. I looked him up only to find out that he was arrested. Honestly, I cant believe that hardly anyone has talked about him
Sadly I don’t think TH-cam will terminate his channel. They still let mini Ladd, lion maker and romeo lacoste and other caught predators continue to upload and gain money off of TH-cam. Heck they hardly ever take down p3dos channels it’s honestly sickening
The idea that she could’ve been mailing jinbop is implausible; not because mailing inmates is difficult but because in child SA cases (esp federal) an automatic order of protection/ restraining order would’ve been in place for the victim, even if she desired to communicate with him.
Yes, but it’s easily circumvented by using a different name or address. That’s part of the reason why inmate mail is inspected upon delivery. It’s unlikely, true, but not impossible
You look back, you feel pain, you wonder how and why it went in the way it did. Then, you move on and keep tumbling down the hill. You look back once again and wonder, “Are these really the people I grew up with?” A summary of seeing multiple youtubers I liked going down the drain of degeneracy
So well said. Out of all the really big names I personally would watch back in the day, the only people with any decency left are Squid, Stampy, and DanTDM. Everyone else has just become scummy. Tragic indeed, though I still go back to watch the videos of Sky and BC and Jerome just to relive the days of innocence.
I went to high school with the girl. I was friends with her during him getting arrested and I remember her being absolutely devastated when it all went down. I know that her and jinbob were still talking on and off while he was in jail through a mutual friend. She was also a monster child to her parents after that because they were why he got arrested. I remember her showing me some of the conversations and it weirded me out, but I was 14 and stupid and never said anything. I didn’t know her parents knew for most of time she was talking to him. She thought they found out just after he bought tickets to see her. Last I heard from people who still talk to her is she went to college out in his state to live closer to him and I think was living with him. I don’t know for sure, we stopped talking shortly after everything went down because she became even more obsessed with Jin and it was literally the only thing she talked about. I think it was because they couldn’t talk for the first part of his sentence and when they did get to talk it was only letters. She also did have one other boyfriend in high school who was also much older than her and I thought was creepy. It was incredibly toxic and I’m pretty sure she was still “dating” Jin while dating the other dude.
it feels like whenever stuff like this happens on the internet the most the perpetrators get is a slap on the wrist and a loss of followers, so it’s nice to see someone actually get punished for their crimes. it’s horrifying to think about how big of a fan i used to be of jin
nothing better than starting the day with the sudden news of a forgotten youtuber of your childhood getting arrested by the FBI.. and a cup of coffee in the morning
I remember watching and loving Jinbops online personality as a kid, especially getting confused when he stopped uploading in the middle of series I was interested in. When I learned about 2 years later (especially at that point being old enough to understand what it meant) I gave me another reason to struggle to trust people, especially with my life situation at the time.
@@ShinmegamiPersona children also tend to look up to 'public figures' though, especially with things like content creation that breed parasocial relationships. It's not good, but kids are pretty susceptible to that and it can be a wierd feeling for them when those people turn out to be less than stellar individuals. Like a "betrayal". It's just an inability to distinguish between reality and fiction children (and Twitter users) deal with.
This is becoming so common that I have to side eye any grown man who makes child friendly content on youtube. I don't believe for one second that Sky wasn't aware of Jin's activities.
Back then, there was a youtuber who explained this person along with other relative people to spread awareness to the audience. Now, in Toastify's direction; he explained the same person, but with more in-depth details of what they actually did. I'm all for it.
I watched sky and jin when I was young, it was hard to grasp when I was older that they were horrible people, you don’t want to believe that someone who was so involved in your childhood was a monster…it sucks that it turned out this way
Why was Sky horrible? According to him, he didn't know anything about Jin's activities. Whether or not he's lying could be debated, but I'm a subscriber of "guilty until proven innocent," so, I can't in good faith call Sky a bad person over that.
To think Jin is out of jail as of last year, dating the girl he planned to meet up with and goes under a new Twitter name/account. Obviously I won't be disclosing the account names. Though in a way it doesn't matter. Because those who actually knew Jin personally found out about it all and called him and his new account out, basically causing those who despise him to swarm that account like hornets
Wait he went under a different name after getting out of jail on Twitter? That is disgusting. This does bring questions though, cause even if he's out of jail, he's now a registered sex offender, which means he will be monitored by the feds. Wouldn't they also monitor his online activity? If anything he should have been banned. So if this is true, this is concerning.
@@NotEdgyUmbre Yeah. It was Skydiesminecraft’s ex who found out about his release and the account and immediately warned everyone. I just find it even worse that he labeled himself as a furry animator/artist. Dude picked the worst community to join as an offender, they do not need those kinds of people in their community. Im also surprised he was even allowed to own anything that connects to the internet/social media as well as being allowed to contact the victim. Normally they’d have an order put on them that bans them from all of that
@@HaneOdori I just found Jin's new account and I am horrified that he is even on the internet. I am so glad Alesa gave a heads up to everyone, I even saw Max and Ross shocked at this revelation. I feel bad for the victim, they still believe that what Jin did is fine and refused to listen to others warning them about it once Jin's new account was found (which is probably the reason why their Twitter is protected now). At this point their already a legal adult so theirs nothing that can be done, I can only hope with time their able to realize the situation and rethink it and recover.
@@NotEdgyUmbre I feel bad for the victim too, I wouldn’t say she has Stockholm syndrome, but something similar seeing as she’s dating him/feels he did nothing wrong. I do hope they come to realize that Jin isn’t a good person. I never knew Max and Ross reacted to the news. I only found out Alesa’s reaction from another TH-cam who released the name of Jins new account after going over what he did and what not (Also for those reading my first post and this one DO NOT WITCH HUNT THE ACCOUNT. Go search it for yourself, but keep the names private)
its so insane to think about how close in age i was to the victim and the victims of the other pedophile youtubers ive watched throughout my childhood. so grateful that my life never went down that dark path and my heart aches for those whos did.
I've heard rumors that JinBop and the girl (now of age) are actually dating now. The whole thing apparently started because the dad didn't approve of the relationship. The mother actually knows about the girl's relationship with JinBop. The whole thing blew up when the father found out about the phone sex and reported jinbop to the authorities, without the mother and the girl's approval. Now that JinBop got out of prison, they started dating. The girl just loves Jinbop that much
I was a kid during all of this and it always makes me so upset looking back knowing what I know about them now. All I remembered was that Jinbop regularly showed up and then disappeared. I remember just eating up WHATEVER Adam said was going on over the years and I remember when max and Ross left and not really knowing why. Turns out they were the ones with common sense.
Says Jinbop was born in the state of Washington, shows stock footage of Washington DC. Y’all Europeans better stop complaining about us not knowing geography now. [EDIT] For the record, this comment was meant to be in a humorous tone of voice.
as someone who was a huge fan of all of the sky offices crew when it was still around, i remember when this news first came out i was DEVASTATED. i loved jinbop a lot, i even had my parents buy me a very specific cat plush from japan because i wanted to have one similar to the one he had (can’t remember the name of it, i’m sure anyone who remembers his content would know what i’m talking about though). it’s scary to think that if i was just a bit more internet savy as a child, i could’ve been in the same position as those fans who were put in such weird situations.
@remiru's channel 麗望琉 same! I actually got to meet them irl tho. They were already dating a friend from another state, so she was safe (especially since her parents found out before he could get to her) but I cut contact after meeting, since he just rubbed me the wrong way after.
@MrMeeseeks thanks man! It's still kinda feels like a surreal experience, so I don't think I've processed it well yet, but luckily I have a therapist to guide me later. I hope great things come to you too :) ♡♡
This probably isn’t the right video to say this on, but I hate the American Legal System so much. My father was arrested for CP as well, and got probation for 2 and a half years. What the police/CPS overlooked was me testifying about the emotional, verbal, and sexual abuse/domestic violence from him. He’s now doing well, and is legally allowed to be in contact with minors, while I’m still struggling to be in an elevator with another person alone, because I’m hella hyper vigilant from my SA. So, yeah.The legal system sucks.
This is absolutely the place to bring this up because im seeing so many comments saying jin is still in a relationship with one of the girls😬😭 like how have they not gotten that girl some help
It's so hard for me to forget this guy's. I grew up watching skydoesminecraft everyday without missing an upload. I still remember the video where Adam introduced Jinbop. I was very oblivious to anything going on outside of their channels. But when Jin was eventually arrested, I would keep coming back to look for any signs of an online presence again. I did this for a solid 2 - 2.5 months. I hate that so many of my childhood idols turned out to be major PoS.
i remember i used to watch him quite often, and then finding out that he done all of this it sent chills down my spine, because at the time i was coming close to the age of the main victim… i’m unsure if he’s out yet or not, i’m pretty sure his release was sometime soon, and i haven’t watched the full video to find out, but this man should have been locked up far longer in my opinion
I remember as a kid my biggest dream and goal was to work for sky media idk why or what I would’ve done but Ross, Adam, Barney and max were always my comfort I would rewatch videos all the time I never really cared for jinbop tho.. he always seemed like the outcast. Everyone else’s jokes were so naturally hilarious and Jin would always get a pitty laugh or crickets after any of his jokes.
The whole Skydoesminecraft saga of Ytbers is honestly crazy but also sick. YTbers like Nexpo and a Ytber that I can’t remember who expose CMs like this are getting punished for it and that to me is injustice. If you enjoy more of this content, I’d recommend Bolty, pretty chill has a Noire sort of vibe
it makes me so sad that as a child - I thought I would never have a chance with any of these older TH-camrs I would watch. only to realize now that I honestly really did have a chance. :(
Funny enough, in 2016 i got into his content, blissfully unaware of his disapperance as I wasn't on social media. I drew his minecraft character and tried to mail it to his PO box, but it kept getting returned to me.
I remember JinBop being the first creator who got outed while I was actively subscribed to him. Like he was my favorite member of the Sky Media Crew apart from Adam. This is saying something since that had to be one of the funniest gaming groups around at the time. It absolutely sucked that what was going on behind the scenes, both in Jin and Adam's cases, was much more sinister and degenerate than what they presented.
I remeber being like "huh I haven't seen jinbop in my reccomendations in while"... Then I notice he hadn't uploaded in a while... Sad when I learned what actually happened
I loved watching him on skydoesminecraft do not laugh videos. I thought he left bc of college bc of a comment I saw many years ago, turns out it was way worse. I was a child then and didn’t think much of what they do off camera. It sucks seeing my childhood favorite TH-camrs turn into or turn out to be horrible people.
I remember being 11 and watching jin a whole bunch, I remember loving his Fran bow series, then he disappeared and I didnt find out why until years later. Yikes
17:54 this with retrospect is wild, he was like "oh look a bigger asshole to point and laugh at so I don't get caught slipping for my ridiculous amounts of abuse
im suprise that u only have 34k subscriber for high quality videos like this, especially with the editing, the research. and the time to create one video like this
I’m 35 and like to build mega bases on anarchy servers, once someone befriended me but he was getting really annoying he couldn’t read cords then I found out he was 14 and he was making it less fun for me because he was clueless, he said he had a dream about building a base with me 😂 I told him I’m going my own way to build my own base then the next day he messaged me saying he asked his mum to buy us both priority on 2b2t I said nooo, he wanted to be my friend so bad because I was nice and helpful, I could of been bad person it’s worrying, I’m an older gamer I will never lie or hide my age I’ve played games my whole life
I used to love watching his content. His humor was on point and his videos extremely entertaining. I was so incredibly disappointed when I heard what had happened back then. He could've been so successful as a gaming youtuber
I was just talking to someone about all of the TH-camrs I used to watch when we were like nine or ten-ish. Skydoesminecraft and Jinbop came into the conversation. I remember the sheer joy I would have whenever I watched all of the Minecraft videos they collaborated on. I grew up with not a lot of Asian role models other than my parents, so seeing Jin being fun and successful on TH-cam made me feel so represented. I just never felt like I could make it out of my small and predominantly white Southern town as someone respectful because I got bullied in elementary and middle school because I was Asian. As I continued to watch more Skydoesminecraft videos and Jinbop content, I grew a little disinterested with time. I immediately lost interest when I saw Jin being put into jail because of his disgusting and abominable behavior. But when I was looking at all the articles and watching the TH-cam drama videos, I felt betrayed that Jin would ever do it. I admired him so much and for him to completely manipulate his viewers-- it made me so sick to my stomach. For a very long time I honestly stopped watching Minecraft youtubers. The memories I had tied to Minecraft content got so corrupted that I just felt disgusted and ashamed that I was playing the same game a p3do played to gain the love and trust from his child-based audience. As I'm an adult now, I can somewhat un-guiltily play Minecraft and say fuck Jinbop and every horrible monster that lures innocent and vulnerable people into their hands.
Watching this video again over a year later and man, it’s just crazy how I remember every single thing that happened with Jin and Adam and everyone else. I remember all of the videos shown, I remember exactly when drama happened. Jin’s arrest, Adam’s exposure, it was wild.
This man introduced me into the game that changed the trajectory of the kinds of media i enjoyed and then he disappeared and when i figured out why i never truly recovered
It feels weird seeing people I use to watch get worse/turn out to be worse than I knew. First finding out SkyDoesMinecraft isn’t as good & now JinBop.(I mean there’s also Bash but that’s out in the open for a long time but still pretty bad)
12:03 it’s kinda strange that he said this with all the allegations against him now and the fact that he used to go on long, late-night Skype/zoom calls with kids -ik they were fans, but still- (and maybe still was doing it)
The ONE thing about the prison story that sounds made up is the K2 thing because the idea of smoking K2 in prison and going crazy is so common, cliche, and contrived that anyone who has seen a prison documentary can make that up. Otherwise it sounds legit
I used to watch Skydoesminecraft and I recall that in one of their videos sometime after this happened, they brought him up and said they shouldn't talk about what he did, since I was a dumb kid I never really looked into that and just assumed he had personal problems or something

It's really scary that you can recognise people have tried to take advantage of you because of your age, I know it sucks to hear but your brain isn't fully developed until youre 25 and I honestly feel like I'm still not mature enough to make a lot of decisions. Kids your age shouldn't be policing your own relationships on the look out for predators, it's the adults in your life and in these relationship who should be keeping you safe and measuring what is and isn't appropriate. When I was younger bad things on the internet were easy to spot, everyone knows the joke of looking up my little pony videos and ending up watching a beheading video. You'd see something bad and know it was bad, but on today's internet dangers are really sneaky and hidden especially predators, which makes it harder for kids to protect themselves. I'm glad youre watching these videos and learning to keep yourself safe, but it's terrifying that you have to
It's not super surprising. Back then it was musicians and actors, and now it's internet influencers. Unless it's something super egregious (e.g., kids that identify themselves as 'adult attracted minors' outright), it isn't shocking for a minor to have feelings for an older person that they idolize. That's why child safeguarding is important, and why you need adults to be the 'bigger people' and shutdown said advances.
I'm 19 and the same way, I could not imagine being in a relationship with a minor, it just feels gross to me

"JinBop didn't want to just be known as the guy that plays with SkyDoesMinecraft"
You know, if I had a dollar for every time a gaming TH-camr tried to strike it out on their own from their popular gaming group, only to get exposed as being a pedophile and a generally awful person later, I'd have 2 dollars. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

@@keadraws Mini Ladd is the second one I was referencing.
Funny enough (well, maybe not 'funny' in the traditional way), both JinBop and Mini Ladd were basically just generic gaming TH-camrs propped up by their more interesting friends/associates. I never watched either, but from comments I saw, Mini Ladd's jokes never really added much to the rest of the group. And as for JinBop, as Toastify says, JinBop's content was super generic and trying to parrot what was popular for the time (e.g., Minecraft). So that's another similarity they share.
Oh god, good thing I was dumb enough as a child that I firmly believed TH-camrs weren't real people and never tried talking to them.

As of right now, him and his victim are actually still in a "relationship". I can only hope his victim wisens up to what he actually did to her and gets away as soon as possible.

The letters he sent were real, he’d send them to a friend of his and that friend showed them to her, she showed me while we were in class and would brag about it . I remember talking to Jin before he got arrested, one time I was in her room getting changed to go in her pool and she just never hung up the Skype calls, like 24/7 Skype calls with him and he messaged me saying disgusting stuff he wanted to do with me. My group of friends have sat down with her many times about how strange it was but she continued to talk to him anyway. When he was flying to Michigan he was staying at a hotel close to my dad’s house and tried to get me to spend the night with him. I blocked him shortly after and then he got arrested. Between the friend group he talked to at least 3 other girls including the real victim. Recently I hung wih her like last year and she called him while I was driving with her and it was really really weird. I love her and cherish her as a friend but this situation is still the craziest thing for her.

Actually, Jin didn't leave Sky's office for creative differences or the deal with his channel being bought by Sky (like Ross), he was fired.
A video uploaded by Mithzan (Max) named Taboo, is a video about Max and Ross (YourPalRoss, formerly House Owner) sharing their experiences in the office (though originally it was about their fears.)
At the end of the video, Max reveals that Jin was fired cause he threw a fit about Smash Bros. I'm not even joking.
For context, Jin was very competitive, and anytime someone talked about smash in the office, he would rage because "smash competitive ruined his life and can only be played competitively."
Because of this, their was an unoffical rule in the office that no one is allowed to talk about smash bros at all. However during a recording session, someone accidentally mentioned the game.
Jin acted normally during recording but once that was done, he got out of his office, kicked a pillar and threw a fit. Sky immediately fired him after that.
Apperently Jin had been hired and fired a bunch before the ultimate firing so he didn't take his final firing seriously until he found out that Sky wasn't going to hire him back, in which, he was very mad.
I highly recommend people go watch that video as not only does Max and Ross shed light on what Sky did to them during their years working there, but it also reveals Jin's true personality outside of recording and streams before being fired.
He was very cocky and one time left Ross and Tim stranded in an IHOP after work (Who at the time, didn't own a car) and they both had to end up calling Alisa (Sky's then wife and mother of their first kid) to go pick them up.
Why am I not surprised that the dude was a competitive smash player 😭
Sometimes I want to feel bad for Sky but fucking hell man.

Unbelievable, this is so hard to digest to the point that I had to stare at my monitor for a while just to process the fact that the FBI did something for once.
Usually we ask questions like "why didn't the FBI do anything sooner?" and "why did they post this on social media instead of going to the police?"
Not only did they actually go to the police instead of just posting DMs on Twitter, law enforcement actually properly investigated and caught the guy without him even knowing he was on their radar. Things actually worked out how they're supposed to for once.
LMAO
Like do you know how bad things have to be for the fbi to actually do something
@@Kaybri0526 Not to mention. the victim's parents REPORTED the shit happening to the FBI. If you don't report it, they're not gonna do shit about it.
Between 2016 and 2020 the FBI "doing something" would be so much worse.
I wouldn't believe the prison statement about JinBop telling a different story. Some prisons allow other inmates to "pull papers", and almost universally, inmates cannot stand sexual predators of minors.
Edit: Pulling papers means finding out why they actually got arrested
^ this
iirc those convicted of any kind of child sex crimes have by far the highest mortality rate of those incarcerated in the States, even if it wasn't explicitly worthy of getting someone on the Registry. Unless nobody thought to ask, I doubt that no one considered looking into it further
He could’ve gone to a federal prison (which from my understanding has more security, more rules, and usually for nonviolent offenders). Although they still wouldn’t want anything to do with somebody like him in there, the worst they can do in there is just threaten or ostracize people like him. But any sort of physical violence is usually not tolerated.
@@Jkd_77 He did go to a federal prison, a minimum security one. The only reason why he's not dead is that min security inmates usually are coming close to the end of their sentence (within the next 10 years) and would rather not get time added to their sentence and/or moved to a higher security prison for harming/killing a chomo. Most chomos are kept in minium security for this reason and would often have their own pod, away from the other inmates. If he was sent to a maximum security prison, he would most likely be dead since most of those inmates are serving life or very long sentences where getting time added onto their sentence doesn't mean a thing. Also, the feds does have a lot more violent prisoners than you might think and are found in higher security prisons (USP's and Supermax). Source: I've been watching alot of Larry Lawton lately.

I went to high school with the girl. I was friends with her during him getting arrested and I remember her being absolutely devastated when it all went down. I know that her and jinbob were still talking on and off while he was in jail through a mutual friend. She was also a monster child to her parents after that because they were why he got arrested. I remember her showing me some of the conversations and it weirded me out, but I was 14 and stupid and never said anything. I didn’t know her parents knew for most of time she was talking to him. She thought they found out just after he bought tickets to see her. Last I heard from people who still talk to her is she went to college out in his state to live closer to him and I think was living with him. I don’t know for sure, we stopped talking shortly after everything went down because she became even more obsessed with Jin and it was literally the only thing she talked about. I think it was because they couldn’t talk for the first part of his sentence and when they did get to talk it was only letters. She also did have one other boyfriend in high school who was also much older than her and I thought was creepy. It was incredibly toxic and I’m pretty sure she was still “dating” Jin while dating the other dude.
Bro I was at the birthday party before he got arrested and she said Jin was so mad at her for losing her virginity to this guy before him
it feels like whenever stuff like this happens on the internet the most the perpetrators get is a slap on the wrist and a loss of followers, so it’s nice to see someone actually get punished for their crimes. it’s horrifying to think about how big of a fan i used to be of jin
nothing better than starting the day with the sudden news of a forgotten youtuber of your childhood getting arrested by the FBI.. and a cup of coffee in the morning
I remember watching and loving Jinbops online personality as a kid, especially getting confused when he stopped uploading in the middle of series I was interested in. When I learned about 2 years later (especially at that point being old enough to understand what it meant) I gave me another reason to struggle to trust people, especially with my life situation at the time.
A TH-cam creator isn’t the same as other people. They are literal strangers.
@@ShinmegamiPersona children also tend to look up to 'public figures' though, especially with things like content creation that breed parasocial relationships. It's not good, but kids are pretty susceptible to that and it can be a wierd feeling for them when those people turn out to be less than stellar individuals. Like a "betrayal". It's just an inability to distinguish between reality and fiction children (and Twitter users) deal with.
This is becoming so common that I have to side eye any grown man who makes child friendly content on youtube. I don't believe for one second that Sky wasn't aware of Jin's activities.
It used to be priests and scout leaders, and now it's content creators. Predators always go where the children are.
I really like the editing style these recent videos have, it's smooth and it's great

Why was Sky horrible? According to him, he didn't know anything about Jin's activities. Whether or not he's lying could be debated, but I'm a subscriber of "guilty until proven innocent," so, I can't in good faith call Sky a bad person over that.
@@youreyesarebleeding1368 he did bad things of his own not related to Jin, that’s what this comment is referring to

Same
To think Jin is out of jail as of last year, dating the girl he planned to meet up with and goes under a new Twitter name/account. Obviously I won't be disclosing the account names. Though in a way it doesn't matter. Because those who actually knew Jin personally found out about it all and called him and his new account out, basically causing those who despise him to swarm that account like hornets
Wait he went under a different name after getting out of jail on Twitter? That is disgusting.
This does bring questions though, cause even if he's out of jail, he's now a registered sex offender, which means he will be monitored by the feds. Wouldn't they also monitor his online activity? If anything he should have been banned.
So if this is true, this is concerning.
@@NotEdgyUmbre Yeah. It was Skydiesminecraft’s ex who found out about his release and the account and immediately warned everyone. I just find it even worse that he labeled himself as a furry animator/artist. Dude picked the worst community to join as an offender, they do not need those kinds of people in their community. Im also surprised he was even allowed to own anything that connects to the internet/social media as well as being allowed to contact the victim. Normally they’d have an order put on them that bans them from all of that
@@HaneOdori I just found Jin's new account and I am horrified that he is even on the internet. I am so glad Alesa gave a heads up to everyone, I even saw Max and Ross shocked at this revelation.
I feel bad for the victim, they still believe that what Jin did is fine and refused to listen to others warning them about it once Jin's new account was found (which is probably the reason why their Twitter is protected now). At this point their already a legal adult so theirs nothing that can be done, I can only hope with time their able to realize the situation and rethink it and recover.
@@NotEdgyUmbre I feel bad for the victim too, I wouldn’t say she has Stockholm syndrome, but something similar seeing as she’s dating him/feels he did nothing wrong. I do hope they come to realize that Jin isn’t a good person. I never knew Max and Ross reacted to the news. I only found out Alesa’s reaction from another TH-cam who released the name of Jins new account after going over what he did and what not (Also for those reading my first post and this one DO NOT WITCH HUNT THE ACCOUNT. Go search it for yourself, but keep the names private)

its so insane to think about how close in age i was to the victim and the victims of the other pedophile youtubers ive watched throughout my childhood. so grateful that my life never went down that dark path and my heart aches for those whos did.
the release date is absolutely terrifying. so sad to think i watched him and sky. but then again, i didn't know any better.
I've heard rumors that JinBop and the girl (now of age) are actually dating now.
The whole thing apparently started because the dad didn't approve of the relationship. The mother actually knows about the girl's relationship with JinBop.
The whole thing blew up when the father found out about the phone sex and reported jinbop to the authorities, without the mother and the girl's approval.
Now that JinBop got out of prison, they started dating. The girl just loves Jinbop that much
I don’t know her but I’m willing to bet it’s not love lol, she got groomed into being his girlfriend and Jin won
to be fair, pyro shouldnt be here since hes the one of the few that was able to defend himself from such an allegations
I was a kid during all of this and it always makes me so upset looking back knowing what I know about them now. All I remembered was that Jinbop regularly showed up and then disappeared. I remember just eating up WHATEVER Adam said was going on over the years and I remember when max and Ross left and not really knowing why. Turns out they were the ones with common sense.
Says Jinbop was born in the state of Washington, shows stock footage of Washington DC. Y’all Europeans better stop complaining about us not knowing geography now.
[EDIT] For the record, this comment was meant to be in a humorous tone of voice.
I was honestly confused by that lol. Plus the pronunciation of "Gir"
I used to watch this guy when I was younger, and I was wondering why he wasn’t uploading anything one day I looked it up and boy I was in shock
as someone who was a huge fan of all of the sky offices crew when it was still around, i remember when this news first came out i was DEVASTATED. i loved jinbop a lot, i even had my parents buy me a very specific cat plush from japan because i wanted to have one similar to the one he had (can’t remember the name of it, i’m sure anyone who remembers his content would know what i’m talking about though). it’s scary to think that if i was just a bit more internet savy as a child, i could’ve been in the same position as those fans who were put in such weird situations.

This probably isn’t the right video to say this on, but I hate the American Legal System so much. My father was arrested for CP as well, and got probation for 2 and a half years. What the police/CPS overlooked was me testifying about the emotional, verbal, and sexual abuse/domestic violence from him. He’s now doing well, and is legally allowed to be in contact with minors, while I’m still struggling to be in an elevator with another person alone, because I’m hella hyper vigilant from my SA. So, yeah.The legal system sucks.
This is absolutely the place to bring this up because im seeing so many comments saying jin is still in a relationship with one of the girls😬😭 like how have they not gotten that girl some help
It's so hard for me to forget this guy's. I grew up watching skydoesminecraft everyday without missing an upload. I still remember the video where Adam introduced Jinbop. I was very oblivious to anything going on outside of their channels. But when Jin was eventually arrested, I would keep coming back to look for any signs of an online presence again. I did this for a solid 2 - 2.5 months. I hate that so many of my childhood idols turned out to be major PoS.
seeing imalexx in this video was a wild awakening
insane how many abusers try to actively call out other abusers
i remember i used to watch him quite often, and then finding out that he done all of this it sent chills down my spine, because at the time i was coming close to the age of the main victim… i’m unsure if he’s out yet or not, i’m pretty sure his release was sometime soon, and i haven’t watched the full video to find out, but this man should have been locked up far longer in my opinion

that's the sad part unfortunately, that these incidents happen so often its not surprising anymore
I remember as a kid my biggest dream and goal was to work for sky media idk why or what I would’ve done but Ross, Adam, Barney and max were always my comfort I would rewatch videos all the time I never really cared for jinbop tho.. he always seemed like the outcast. Everyone else’s jokes were so naturally hilarious and Jin would always get a pitty laugh or crickets after any of his jokes.
I was told she was 16 and he was 19 and I thought it wasn’t that bad but god this is so much worse
The whole Skydoesminecraft saga of Ytbers is honestly crazy but also sick. YTbers like Nexpo and a Ytber that I can’t remember who expose CMs like this are getting punished for it and that to me is injustice. If you enjoy more of this content, I’d recommend Bolty, pretty chill has a Noire sort of vibe
it makes me so sad that as a child - I thought I would never have a chance with any of these older TH-camrs I would watch. only to realize now that I honestly really did have a chance. :(
Funny enough, in 2016 i got into his content, blissfully unaware of his disapperance as I wasn't on social media. I drew his minecraft character and tried to mail it to his PO box, but it kept getting returned to me.
The insane amount of lore I am learning about these people I used to watch religiously is mindblowing
There was a brief clip at 9:10 of a Roblox game I played back in the day. That was an odd core memory unlocked situation.
I remember JinBop being the first creator who got outed while I was actively subscribed to him.
Like he was my favorite member of the Sky Media Crew apart from Adam. This is saying something since that had to be one of the funniest gaming groups around at the time.
It absolutely sucked that what was going on behind the scenes, both in Jin and Adam's cases, was much more sinister and degenerate than what they presented.
The pyro clip in the beginning 💀💀💀 he didn’t even do anything and he still getting smack for it
I remember Jin was my favorite person when I was younger now I’m regretting everything.
I remeber being like "huh I haven't seen jinbop in my reccomendations in while"... Then I notice he hadn't uploaded in a while... Sad when I learned what actually happened
this editing style is gorgeous oh my god, big W my dude
This video is honestly painful to watch whenever jin speaks
He definitely wasn't still exchanging letters with the girl. In US prisons, they check every piece of incoming and outgoing mail
I loved watching him on skydoesminecraft do not laugh videos. I thought he left bc of college bc of a comment I saw many years ago, turns out it was way worse. I was a child then and didn’t think much of what they do off camera. It sucks seeing my childhood favorite TH-camrs turn into or turn out to be horrible people.
I remember being 11 and watching jin a whole bunch, I remember loving his Fran bow series, then he disappeared and I didnt find out why until years later. Yikes
the pronunciation of gir 😭
17:54 this with retrospect is wild, he was like "oh look a bigger asshole to point and laugh at so I don't get caught slipping for my ridiculous amounts of abuse
Seeing ImAllexxx and skydoesminecraft in this video aged like fine wine 💀
im suprise that u only have 34k subscriber for high quality videos like this, especially with the editing, the research. and the time to create one video like this
I’m 35 and like to build mega bases on anarchy servers, once someone befriended me but he was getting really annoying he couldn’t read cords then I found out he was 14 and he was making it less fun for me because he was clueless, he said he had a dream about building a base with me 😂 I told him I’m going my own way to build my own base then the next day he messaged me saying he asked his mum to buy us both priority on 2b2t I said nooo, he wanted to be my friend so bad because I was nice and helpful, I could of been bad person it’s worrying, I’m an older gamer I will never lie or hide my age I’ve played games my whole life
I used to love watching his content. His humor was on point and his videos extremely entertaining. I was so incredibly disappointed when I heard what had happened back then. He could've been so successful as a gaming youtuber
I was just talking to someone about all of the TH-camrs I used to watch when we were like nine or ten-ish. Skydoesminecraft and Jinbop came into the conversation. I remember the sheer joy I would have whenever I watched all of the Minecraft videos they collaborated on. I grew up with not a lot of Asian role models other than my parents, so seeing Jin being fun and successful on TH-cam made me feel so represented. I just never felt like I could make it out of my small and predominantly white Southern town as someone respectful because I got bullied in elementary and middle school because I was Asian. As I continued to watch more Skydoesminecraft videos and Jinbop content, I grew a little disinterested with time. I immediately lost interest when I saw Jin being put into jail because of his disgusting and abominable behavior. But when I was looking at all the articles and watching the TH-cam drama videos, I felt betrayed that Jin would ever do it. I admired him so much and for him to completely manipulate his viewers-- it made me so sick to my stomach. For a very long time I honestly stopped watching Minecraft youtubers. The memories I had tied to Minecraft content got so corrupted that I just felt disgusted and ashamed that I was playing the same game a p3do played to gain the love and trust from his child-based audience. As I'm an adult now, I can somewhat un-guiltily play Minecraft and say fuck Jinbop and every horrible monster that lures innocent and vulnerable people into their hands.
Watching this video again over a year later and man, it’s just crazy how I remember every single thing that happened with Jin and Adam and everyone else. I remember all of the videos shown, I remember exactly when drama happened.
Jin’s arrest, Adam’s exposure, it was wild.
I agree that if the dude who was in jail with him is lying he should write a book. Because he thought out very good details.
The First Jinbop Picture Has The Most Early 2000s Hairstyle
I randomly had this pop on my feed and he’s about to get out in three days what the hell.
he's out now wtf
This man introduced me into the game that changed the trajectory of the kinds of media i enjoyed and then he disappeared and when i figured out why i never truly recovered
0:34 i dont think you should have put pyrocinical there.
I’ve been watching a lot of your videos while I do stuff like drawing, and this just adds to the collection of it. Thanks man, love your content. :)
I almost forgot about this guy, I recall people joking about his "Minecraft prison break videos"
It feels weird seeing people I use to watch get worse/turn out to be worse than I knew. First finding out SkyDoesMinecraft isn’t as good & now JinBop.(I mean there’s also Bash but that’s out in the open for a long time but still pretty bad)
Bash is dead I think
@@CalebIsHere yea he passed
It's crazy that 2016 was so long ago, that his sentence is up this year...
12:03 it’s kinda strange that he said this with all the allegations against him now and the fact that he used to go on long, late-night Skype/zoom calls with kids -ik they were fans, but still- (and maybe still was doing it)
I found Jin’s LinkedIn, he legit listed his prison time as ‘personal development break’
The fact this man lived in the same state as me... YIKES.
The ONE thing about the prison story that sounds made up is the K2 thing because the idea of smoking K2 in prison and going crazy is so common, cliche, and contrived that anyone who has seen a prison documentary can make that up. Otherwise it sounds legit
yeah it sounds like something you'd watch on A&E. not even considering how hard it is to get drugs in prison, much less synthetic weed.
I used to watch Skydoesminecraft and I recall that in one of their videos sometime after this happened, they brought him up and said they shouldn't talk about what he did, since I was a dumb kid I never really looked into that and just assumed he had personal problems or something
